REMARKABLE SCENE AT AN
EXECUTION.
THE WILL PURVIS HANGING
A FAILURE.

An unusual occurrence took place
at Columbia, Miss, last Wednes-
day, and rs = result of it Will Pur-
Wis, who was condemned to die
Feb. :, is still in the land Of the
living.
An immense crowd gathered to
witness the execution. Purvis had
stoutly protested hs innocence,
and had signed sworn statement
naming some men who were MEM
bers Of the White Cap organization,
and who held . meeting and were
TO have held another to decide upon
the death of Buckley, whom Purvis
is charged with having killed.
Purvis was led to the scaffold at
3 O'Clock, the black cap placed on
his head and moose adjusted. His
last words before the trap fell were
that he was an innocent man.
After the prayer Sheriff Magee gave
the signal and the executioner with
. quick stroke of his Ratchet sever
ed the rope holding the trap door
in place. To the establishment of
the immense throng, Purvis drop
ped safely to the ground seven feet
below, providentially saved. The
moose had slipped of his neck and
head. Purvis was picked up and
his 6rst words were, Il knew the
Lord would be with me-"
Clergymen and Others interfered
when the sheriff started to make
preparations for making another
attempt to hang the white cap and
it was finally decided that the Rev.
Mr.. Sibley should go out and speak
to the crowd. He did 50, made an
eloquent appeal and won the crowd
over to his side and to the side OF
the sheriff, and the execution was
postponed.
pnrvis was accused Of having
killed William Buckley from am
bush. Buckley had been sum-
moneil to testify against the white
cans before the grand Jury and
v.s killed upon returning from
court.

SHERIFF COOKS AcQUITTAL.

A correspondent Of the Picayune,
referring to the acquittal OF Ex-
Sheriff Cook, says:
"The jury in the case Of the
State VS.. ". b. Cook, charged
with embezzlement of the Parish
funds, returned q verdict Of moi
guilty. Mr.. Cook had been sheriff
and tax collector of the parish Of
st. Tammany up to about three
months ago. He left CoviDgton to
60 to Baton Rouge with about $500
to settle with the auditor for certain
collections.
"His friends were very much
surprised 10 learn a few days after
wards that instead Of going to the
State Capital he had shipped on .
fruit steamer for Central America.
His bondsmen were IN nowlse
alarmed over his mysterious con-
duct and answered the suspicious
about his having defaulted BY say
ing il he had only let them known
in time Of his trouble they would
have made good any deficit and 60
arranged the matter that no public
ity would ever have been given to
it.
"Mr. Cooks absence over the
period prescribed by law caused
Mr.. John Strobe to be named to
his Office. An investigation into
the affairs of Mr.. Cook, it appears,
furnished the basis for the indict-
ment Of embezzlement that was re-
turned against him by the grand
jury.
"After being absent for awhile Mr..
Cook returned from Central Ameri-
ca, and the manner Of his return
ing of his own volition was scarce
" less surprising than had been his
mysterious disappearance. he
simply said that he had come back
to be tried for the accusations that
had been made against him. He
was placed on trial and was acquit-
ted, as above stated.
'sHe had been sheriff for nearly
fifteen years and had won for him
self the esteem and respect of near
~ everyone, causing him to be re-
garded as about the most popular
man in the parish"
