place him in connection with New
Orleans. Calling Taylor Adams, an
old chum in the office, to the key, the
operator requested him to gather
around him all his old fellow laborerS
Adams complied, and Taylor Brown,
the operator, opened his key and sent
the following message: II am dying
by inches and my WORKOUT body will
soon be returned to clay. I have come
from my sick bed to say goodbye"
There was pause of three minutes
when the key was again used. The
sounder here licked: '"Taylor Brown

what message of the many thousands
that had passed through his hands had
made the most lasting impression on
him. He replied that he should never
forget a message that was mailed
some eighteen years ago at Jackson,
Miss. The message was put in at
l1:02 a. M, with the Instructions:
''This message must be delivered in
the hands of the sheriff of Wilkinson
county, Woodville, Miss, before
noon.' The message was a respite

proceedings. The unfortunate, whose
life was thus spared. was sent to the
