the entire day in his work. giving M
time to callers. The speech is about
5000 words in length. He has adhered
to his original intention of devoting the
document almost entirely to the question
of imperialism. In following this
course Mr.. Bryan pursued the general
plan adopted in 1886 of giving especial
attention in his notification speech to
the subject made paramount by the
Democratic platform, the other subjects
being left to be dealt with in the let
ter of acceptance to be given out later.
After the Indianapolis meeting Mr.
Bryan will be engaged in Chicago the
greater part Of the week. the entire time
being given to conferences with leaders of
all the forces supporting him.
Vice Chairman Edmiston of the Populist
National Committee today issued a call
TO the executive committee of that party
to meet in Chicago on the day following
the indianapolis meeting. Mr. Edmiston
declined to state the purpose of the
meeting but there is little doubt that it's

Hanged For a Double Murder.
lRv the Associated Press.l

Richmond, Va, August 3.-Grand Reed,
colored was hanged at Madison court
house today. His crime was a double
one-the murder of his wife and her
father
Reed married in Madison and took his
wife to Pittsburg, Pa She left him and
returned to her father. Reed followed
her and upon her refusal to live with
him killed her most brutally, and also
killed her father for interfering. He
gave himself up, had two trials and APP
pealed to the Supreme Court of Appeals,
which confirmed the judgment Of the
lower court.
After he realized that all hope was
gone Reed became desperate. He was
detected in a plot to break Jail and to
assault the jailor, and about O'Clock
this morning he attempted suicide by
taking nitric acid, which had been con-
veyed to him in some way. His throat
was horribly burned, and only by hard
work did physicians so arouse him that
he could walk to the scaffold. The exc
cution passed off without anything un-
usual.
