NEGRO HANGED
 FOR FOUL MURDER
Never Lost His Composure and Made Talk Confessing
 His Guilt.

Talladega, May 16.-(Special. .)-Vincent Keith was hung this morning at one minute after Il o'clock. Keith, who Is a negro, met death with a calmness that seemed almost incredible. He made a short talk from the jail window to a large crowd standing in the street out side of the jail inclosure. He acknowl- edged his guilt and said that his punish ment was just. When he mounted the gallows no sign of emotion was pereepti- ble and after making few remarks smi- lar to the ones addressed from the win dow and shaking hands with Miss Mollie Estes, the jailoress, permitted the moose to be adjusted and the black cap put over : his head. The trap was sprung by Sheriff J. B. Edwards and in fourteen minutes all signs of life were gone The body never moved after it's nine-foot drop, and the rope left no bruise on the skin, only showing. its print around the neck. Some negro preachers held services with Keith this morning, in which he manifested much interest.
 The crime for which Keith's life was taken was terrible one. He killed ne- gro, John Huston, for the purpose of se- curing some money which he knew his victim to have on his person. The instru- ment of death was a large hickory stick, and one blow on the head accumulated : the work. Keith's last days were spent in a condition of greatest composure. while knowing the rate that awaited him, from all appearances he seemed utterly unconcerned about his approaching death. His courage was not of the bravado kind, but seemed to come from a Higher power, which he put great trust in, and not once did his composure desert him.
 2 Miss Estes, the jailoress above referred to, is a woman of remarkable nerve and bravery This was the second hanging she $ has witnessed in the Talladega jail. hay ing been present at the execution of El- bert Curry, which took place here one year ago the 18th of this month. Each time she took her stand by the gallows on the inside of the rope stretched to keep the spectators back. She was the last one to bid Curry goodby, as was so with Keith and both men expressed the highest regard for her on account of kind treatment Apart from these two in- stances, 1t was she who stood at a hole one night which some prisoners had made in the jail while trying to escape, and with pistol in hand, held them at bay until assistance arrived. She has done the county excellent service in the position usually filled by man. Her rules are very strict and always enforced with great firmness. She is a woman of pleas ing appearance and address, apparently a few years past thirty.
