The wretched young man who was exc
cuted in Mississippi a few days ago, was
certainly a demented creature or he would
have been more considerate of other peo-
pies feelings, IL he felt he was doomed
to torment and certain TO go there.
am sorry such a story had to be told
OF a southern born man. I feel mortified
that such a creature was not executed In
his cell and his rawlings kept secret, at
least from the general public. It has done
no good TO blazon his blasphemy abroad.
II has made his devoted mother and sis
ter suffer more keenly, and the morbid
appetite for abnormal horrors has been
violently Increased.
His crime was cold blooded and admitted
OF no palliative measures, but ii must
never be forgotten he was drunk, drunk,
drunk
That tells the talei His brain was on
fire. The poison filtered into his brain
and he was a desperate that was too
dangerous TO be suffered to go at large.
Every feeling heart sympathizes with the
poor mother. but nobody could bear her
agony for her. The story is told that his
father taught HIS sons to take nothing
from any man, TO "die game" Poor boy;
he died, but not game; he descended below
brute creation, and had to be punished
out OF life, because he was unfit to live In
it. When the secrets OF this life are made
known in eternity IL may appear that a
maniac was put to death in the person OF
the condemned felon. May God help the
suffering women who did all they could
to comfort the wretched criminal.
