for piece OF the rope usea1n The execution OF
Jasper Rhodes, yesterday. Some on the plea
that it would bring good luck. while a majority
Of the colored people wanted 1t under the sU-
perstitious belief that as long as they were the
possessors Of small piece Of the Dangman's 5
rope. they could not be "hoo dood"
and they were proof against "voudooism."
The crowd was composed principally Of the
lower classes of both races. The Sheriff and
his officials complied with their demands until
the rope from which Rhodes dangled was en-
tireIy consumed. Still the demand was inces-
SAINT until the hour of closing the Jail. Sheriff
Owens says IL the rope had been 300 fathoms
long he could scarcely have supplied the unex-
pected demand.
