Hope for Col. H. Clay King.


A new hope has been born in the breast of
Col Il. Clay King. condemned to be hanged on
August IL for killing David H. Poston in Mem
phis. For several days he has been In a state Of
mental and physical collapse, but yesterday he
Frightened from some cause known only 10 him
self. The strong petition sent from Kentucky
to the governor asking that his sentence be
commuted is thought to have begotten the
hope in Col. Kings mind for better things.
Yesterday Judge Greer returned to Memphis
from Washington Several days ago he and
Judge King came to Washington to make effort
to bring the case under federal Jurisdiction
and secure q review OF the law and facts before
the Supreme Court.
The lawyer refused to discuss the matter, but
y is thought from remarks that he dropped
that there will be some action taken in the case
by the federal court.
Mrs. King In securing signatures to petition
praying for communication of the sentence, but
the friends of the murdered lawyer are receiving
numerous signatures to counter petitions ak
ing that the law be enforced.

Ninth Wagner Festival ut Bayreuth.

The ninth Wagner festival began at Bayrenth
yesterday with the performance of 'Parsifai, -
the last Of the great masters music dramas In
all its essential details the performance was
worthy Of the traditions of this Mecca of Ger
man musicians and showed that the hand of
Frau Cosina Wagner is as strong and her ear as
keen as in former years. The weather, unfortu-
nately, was unpropitious; the morning was dark
and raw and in the afternoon the rain drove visit
ors indoors and interfered with the festive ap-
pearance of the town and the visitors who crowd
it.
But few Americans are in the city, or at least
showed themselves at the performance yester-
day.
A few celebrities from the artistic world are
present and there is q notable absence Of princes
and statesmen.

PLAYING LynchinG.

The sensation of being hanged was
experienced on Thursday by Evan
Hamilton, the 5-year-old son of Oscar
Hamilton, who lives in Doylestown,
Pa. The child was nearly strangled,
and his neck got such severe wrench
ing that it will likely ache for days to
come.
Evan was playing in the yard with
several other children when one of
them suggested that they play 'lynch-
ing 4 rope was secured. In one end
a slippiug moose was tied. The other
end was thrown across the limb of a
tree, and by using large box to stand
upon the children tied the rope secure
" to the limb. The moose hung down
Just far enough to slip over Evan Ham,
ilton's head when he stood upon the
box.
Evan volunteered to be the first VIC
tim and the others were to be the mob:
Evan clambered upon the box, stood
upon his tip-toes, put the moose over
his head, adjusted the knot, but horror!
In standing upon his toes he over
turned the box and it rolled from un-
der his feet. The moose was jerked
fearfully tight about his neck, so tight
ne could not cry for help. His feet
did not touch the ground and the suf-
fering boy hung suspended from the
limb of the tree.
The other children were too excited
and too much frightened at the catas-
trophe to offer assistance to their help
less companion. But they could use
their little lungs, which they did in
earnest, and their screams alone saved
Evan Hamilton's life. His mother
heard the cries and rushed out. She
found her son hanging limp and stiff.
His face was already much discolored.
In twinkling the mother lifted up the
son and unfastened the treacherous
moose. The unfortunate lad had been
almost strangled to death, and it was
some time before he could give an &C
count of his suffering.
His neck was badly cut by the rope
and it had been severely twisted, but
his injuries are in no way serious.
