Beyond-Shrielxs OF Agony. 8

TExARKANA, Ark, Feb. 90. Ed Coy,
the colored brute who, on last Satur-
day, committed the fiendish crime of
rape on the person of Mrs. Henry Jew
ell, a respectable farmers wife, with n
five-months' old child at the breast, at her
home three miles southeast of this city,
Saturday afternoon, answered for his
his awful crime by horrible death by
fire in the presence of 8, 900 people. He
was burned at the stake.
Coy was made secure to the stump
with iron fastenings, and kerosene was
poured literally over him. A shout
went up: LET his victim apply the
match; let Mrs. Jewell set the fire."
In response to the call, Mrs Jewel
emerged from the crowd, and her ap.
pearance was greeted with cheers
which almost shook the ground. Pale,
but determined, and supported on
either side by male relative, the lit
tie woman walked to the place Of exc
cution, where her assailant stood PIN
ioned, struck parlor match and ap-
piled 1t to the wretch in two places,
and stepped away.
In q few moments the doomed darlky
was sheet of fame, writhing and
groaning in his horrible agony. Death
resulted in about ten minutes. The
crowd which actually witnessed the
burning could not have been less than
1000 and was probably 6,0O0.
Mr.. Jewell left his home on Saturday
last after dinner to come to town for

cooling babe in her arms in the best of
health and spirits, little dreaming
when he kissed her good-by of the ter
rible fate that awaited her during his
absence.
Shortly after the husbands departure
a colored man appeared at the door
and asked the whereabouts Of Mr..
Jewell, and the unsuspecting woman
informed him that he had gone to town.
The visitor gave his name as Davis,
and said that he had some hogs to sell
to Mr.. Jewell. A considerable con-
versation was held between them, and
the woman thus had good opportunity
while not under excitement to note the
general appearance of the man.
After the latter had gone Mrs. Jewell
concluded to visit neighbor half a
