Pulaski. Va. Sept 15.-Noah Finley, a
negro. was hanged here to-day for high
way robbery and attempted assault to
XII Maj. j II. Darst. OF Dublin. Pulaski
county. Einley's execution was the first
instance Of the kind in late years in which
the extreme penalty has been imposed in
the State for highway robbery and as
sault number Of armed officers were
gathered at the Jail 10 prevent any inter-
Terence, az there has been considerable
tax against the execution of Finley.
The man was led from the Jail TO the
scanoid at 10 O'Clock, appearing perfectly
calm, but depending much upon Rev. ].
h. Hufford, his spiritual adviser II. Prayer
and song services were begun when Finley
left his cell. and continued until the drop
fell. While on the way to the scaffoId
Rev. Huffori offered a petition for the
salvation of the negro's soul, concluding
with the Lords Prayer. which the con-
demned man repeated after him. AS he
stepped upon the scaffold the negro re-
peated in a choking voice: "Oh, Lord, to
Thee l commend my spirit and may this
be warning to all highwaymen, my
friends and enemies, and may it keep all
from doing wrong"
-
Finley stepped upon the trap and the
black cap was adjusted. he repeated the
following passage of Scripture after the
minister: For God so loved the world
that He gave His only begotten Son that
whoever believeth in Him should not
perish, but have everlasting life"
This is my only hope" said the doomed
negro, and he continued to pray until the
trap fell.
Neck Was Not Broken.
The fall was clear one of six and a
ha'f feet, but the mans neck was not
broken, and death ensued in twelve min
ues from strangUlatiOn.
The trap fell at 1910 O'Clock. and the
body was cut down twenty-five minutes
later, exhibited to the crowd. and placed
in a coffin. The rerains were turned
over TO the Medical College of Virginia
at Richmond, for the medical students
Use.
Finley was convicted of highway robbery
ard attempted murder about two
months ago and had been in Jail
at Pulaski ever since. He held
I'D Maj. J. H. Darst, merchant
of Dublin, and robbed him of his watch
and money. He then ordered his victim
TO return to his store for the purpose of !
opening the safe. Mai. Darst made a
dash and escaped, the negro firing sew
eral shots at hime. none of which took /
effect.
Many petitions were sent to Gov. Tyler /
urging him to commute the mans SEN |

for the crime committed. Citizens of Pu- /
