SENTENCED TO DEATH.
Ella Norwood Mast Hang the Psurth Of
Aay.-The Solemn Sentence
Of the Jadge.

She must die.
Ella Norwood, the negro woman CON.
victed of infanticide, was sentenced TO
death this morning.
When she was bought into the court
room this morning a silence still as
death fell on the crowd.
Judge Shuford's talk TO the convicted
woman was very impressive. He told
her she had committed the most henious
crime known TO human law, had mur.
dered her own offspring. Life WAS as
sweet to the child as II is to you, and for
the child's death your life must pay the
penalty. II is useless for you to expect
clemency. He said he felt no sympathy
for her, she had been so brutal Whose
sheddeth mans blood by man his blood
be shed. He told her she should seek
spiritual advice, for she must die ON the
gallows
1T is adjudged by the court that the
defendant, Ella Norwood, be taken hence
by the sheriff of Durham county and by
him committed to the common jail of
said county and there confined until Fri.
day, the 4th day of May, 1894, and ON
that day be taken by the said sheriff of
Durham county 10 the place of execution
in said county, and between the hours of
l2 m. and p. m, hanged by the neck
until she is dead. And may the Lord
have mercy on your soul"
The counsel for the defense took an
appeal to the supreme court.

DIR. A. Cheatham's Testimony.
DR.. Cheatham said he was physician :;
went with DR.. Johnson to Sandy Jones
at Parrish's warehouse Jones was not
dead; assisted in examination; found
that was the fatal shot another wound
was in the right leg, about the middle of
thigh the ball went down about two
and one half inches and went out Just
under the skin the other wound was
between the shoulders this entered from
the rear; abdomen wound produced
death it was between and 10 O'Clock
when l went TO the warehouse to see
Jones, who was upstairs over the office;
heard soon after II o'clock that Sandy
was dead; Sandy said he was gone and
could not get over it; Jones called for
several persons.
Cross examined The ball in the bowels
was cut out in the back; its course was
slightly upward; wound on leg was pow
der stained; shirt was powder stained
third ball went in between the shoulders
there were no powder stains from this;
Dick Happier wa. wounded in the wrist,
which, think, wa. left badly powder
burned; dressed Happer's wound about
s o'clock at 1earby's drug store; l don't
think the abdomen wound in Jones was
more than two or three inches higher up
where il came out than where it went in
1t struck rib in going through; balls are
easily diverted from their course; If the
man had been leaning backward it would
have come out higher up than where it |
came in. The defense held that by the |
wound the position OF the gun could not |
be told.

people, have been known as the kings
highways or the public highways, and
have been open to the free use of all,

the most perfect and by far the most
important roads known to mankind
are owned and managed as private

Reno Gazette It is surmised in
Democratic circles that General @. w.
Irish will be appointed Surveyor-Gen-

the present incumbent. The Gazette
is informed that the position to which
General Irish was appointed in the In
terror Department has been abolished
and that his term of Office will expire
in July. B. F. Riley of Humboldt
county, has been endorsed by the
Democratic State Central Committee,
and he would probably have been the
successful applicant but for the change
of programme reported to have been
brought about by the above mentioned
change in the Interior Department.
The Gazette gives this as a rumor
which appears to be given credence
by the friends of the administration
in this State.
