TO DIE FOR THEIR CRIME
TWO OF AUGUST MEYERS MUIR
DERERs TO HANG JULY az.

Gus Williams and James Gay Sen
fenced to Death-They Protest Their
Innocence and Charge the Murder
Upon Their Accomplishments Trial
of the Others to Begin Next Week and
II Convictions Follow All VIII Be
Hanged at the Same Time.
Gus Williams and James Gay were SEN
fenced to death yesterday at noon by Judge
Falligant for the murder of August Meyer
Jan. %.
The execution will take place July %
between the hours OF 10 a. m. and 4 p. m. in
private at the Jail.
The announcement that sentence Of death
would be passed yesterday morning did not
attract an unusually large crowd to the
court house. The superior court
gallery was pretty well filed with
negroes, who leaned over the railing as
far as possible and listened with interest TO
everything that was said.
The two murderers, Williams and Gay
were brought up to the sheriff's room hand
cuffed a short while before the hour set for
passing sentence. They talked freely with
those around them, but neither one seemed
to be impressed with the solemnity and
Importance of the approaching scene, at
which limit was to be placed to their time
on earth. Williams skin was a little
ashy, but Gay broke out into
frequent laughter. They protested
their innocence to those around them,
declaring that it was all a put-up job
upon them by the rest Of the crowd in the
hope Of clearing themselves.
TAKEN TO THE COURT ROOM.
At 10 O'Clock the prisoners were brought
into the court room. There were perhaps
fifty persons present in the room and
about 100 negroes in the gallery. The
prisoners were seated together on the first
tier of the jury seats on the right of the
