Hensley Hanged

Armstrong Hensley met death on the
scaflold Thursday atErwin, the county
seat of Unicoi Hensley was convicted
and sentenced TO hang for the murder
of his six-yoar old step-daughter near
Erwin.
The date was fixed for the hanging,
but three different times the governor
interfered, granting respite, that he
might examine the evidence of the case
more closely, A strong fight has been
put up for Hensley's life, but the efforts
have all failed and Hensley died Thurs
day at o'clock.
The hanging was conducted in an en-
closurein the courthouse yard. Short
! ly before o'clock Hensley declared he
was ready to go and that he had accept
ed the Savior of mankind as his Savior,
There were only few people admit
ted into the enclosure to witness the
hanging. As Hensley stood on the
drop just before the trap was sprung he
made last statement in which he de
elared his innocence. He said that a.
he was about to face his God there wet
no need for him to speak anything bu
She truth, and that, as he was to fac,
his maker, he could do so with hi
hands free from the stain of humal
blood. He declared his innocence 0
the crime with which he was charged
saying he knew nothing of the murde
of his step-daughter.
