THE hanging of James Thoroughbred
at Dover on Friday last for criminally as
saulting little eight-year-old Louisa HUFF
fington, near Viola some months ago, a
full account of which will be found on
our local page, seems to raise a doubt in
the minds Of many as to whether the life
of an innocent man was not taken. He
protested his innocence when captured
and lodged in Jail; he declared his inno-
cence before the trial; he plead mot
guilty" in court; after the sentence was
imposed upon him, still he said he was
innocent, and even when standing OH the
scafold and knowing that he must die
and that whatever he might say the pen
atty would be the same, the hand of the
executioner could not be stayed, still he
protested his innocence and said he did
not commit the crime.
On tile other hand, the little girl gave
the description of the culprit by which he
was apprehended, and whegs.e.l Is e,afore
a group,of cOlered men to identify,if pos
sibie, her assailant, she readily and with
out hesitation poieted out Thorough
good, and she was never shaken from her
testimony and belief There can be 10
doubt but that the guilty party now lies
in his grave. Had he been innocent
and as he claimed not in the vicinity Of
the place when the dastardly crime was
committed an alibi could have been
proven. There would have been evil
dence produced to save his life. An un-
successful attempt was made to clear him
by his attorney claiming that there should
be colored men on the jury, but the plea
was not granted and the brute paid the
penalty. It is true he was hung on cir
cumstantisl evidence to a certain degree,
but it was so strong as to leave no cause
to doubt his guilt ThoroughgOod's sew
eral attempts to escape jail were thwarted
lust in the nick of time, aud since the cell
has been vacated it has been discovered
that even after the man claimed to have
resigned himself to his fate aud kept up
such howl, pretending PRAYER, he was at
the same time trying to escape by pick
ing the plaster from around the bricks
in his cell; indeed,i it would have taken
but few short hours longer for him to
have effected his escape. But he had not
measured his time correctly and now lies
in a felon's grave. The execution was a
perfect success from a scientific stand
point, and Sheriff Cole is to be congrat-
ulated for the manner in which the affair
was conducted.
