At the hour of p. m. on Friday, Dec.
9th, Sheriff Kemp, assisted by Deputies
Teddlie, Faraldo, and len guards. appear
ed at the Jail for the execution of Richard
Hyams, the negro convicted of murder
ing the Russian Jew peddler The usual
fifteen witnesses, consisting Of four or five
doctors and several other citizens, were
admitted within the Jail enclosure, while
hundred or more persons stood around
on the outside. Deputy Teddlie imme-
diately went into the Jail, accompanied by
two or three assistants, to assist in pre-
pairing the prisoner and putting on his
black robe. He was followed by five COL
ored preachers, who went in to admins
ter their last religious consolation to the
condemned man.
At 1:2O the door was opened and the
prisoner walked with erect head and firm
tread upon the scsffold, where he stood
until Sheriff Kemp read the death war
rant to him. and then informed him that
if he desired to make any statement he
would be allowed such time as he desir-
ed to talk. Not muscle of Richards
face moved and he seemed to be stolidy
nerved for his fate, as he spoke up DELHI
erately and said, Gentlemen. when you
convict man be certain you know what
you are doing. Jack Chambers, who you
convicted and sentenced to hang, and af
terward sent to the penitentiary and he
died there. didn't know anything about
the peddler. Prosecute me and Jennie
Jones'" He stopped, and Mr.. G. H. Nc
knight asked if he meant to say that
Jack Chambers did not know anything
about the killing. Richard replied, "He
didn't know anything about it."
As the prisoner did not eecm disposed
to say any more, but simply moved his
lips and half way closed his eyes, as if in
prayer, the deputies proceeded to bind
him, and put the black cap over his head |
and after putting the rope around his
neck the signal was given, and Sheriff |
Kemp cut the rope that held the platform |
upon which the condemned man stood.
The drop fell at precisely 1:3O p. m,
and the black-robed figure shot rapidly
toward the ground for about feet.
There were few contortions Of the body,
twitching Of the pinioned arms, while
rom the throat here proceeded an ugly
gurRling sound, showing that the victim
vas strangling to death. The general
verdict was that his neck was not broken,
'wing to the knot having slipped little
o far forward as the body shot downward.
IN IA minutes the physicians pronounced
him dead. and at 1:55 the body was taken
Town, put in a coffin, and delivered to his
riends and relatives, who were present
