that the phosphorus would get in It's deadly
work before the sheriff. His scheme was
detected by the death watch and imme-
tiatcly he was searched and physician
called, who brought him around, Sawyer
stating that he was weak.
A large crowd came to the city to see
the execution, but Sheriff Sweat only adj
mitted about 15o, consisting of officers sur
geons and newspaper men.
Rev j. X. Swancey of the Baptist
church conducted the religious services on
the scaffold. Sheriff Sweat adjusted the
black cap, placed the rope around Saw
yer's neck, the knot being adjusted by
Sheriff Stewart of Cleburne. who hung
John B. Shaw with the same rope AT
1880 the trap was sprung and the body
dropped eight feet, breaking Sawyer's neck.
County Physician Fristo pronounced
Sawyer dead in twelve minutes. The body
was shipped to Dallas for burial.
