Hanged at Wilson For the Murder of Thomas

been satisfied. John Henry Rose paid
his debt with his life upon the scaffold
here this morning
Rose spent the time up to the eXecu-
tiOn in prayer with his spiritual ad-
wiser Rev A. p Tyer, of the Methodist
church. He expressed through him his
message to the world which was to the
effect that he had made his peace with
God and bore no i'll will for those with
whom he had been associated in crime
There was no confession on the scaffold,
as this had been given out in his appeal
to the Governor
At 1915 Deputy Jesse Mayo came from
the jail, followed by Rose and Rev. Mr..
Tyer. On the scaffold they were joined
by Sheriff Sharpe, Deputy Warren, of
Nash county, and Deputy William Mills
of Wilson
, After all were on the scaffold Rev
Mr. Tyer offered prayer. The prayer be-
ing over those with the prisoner bade him
a last farewell The death cap and
ropes were then adjusted by Deputy
Wells. The drop fell at 1924 and in ten
w s. Anderson and Croker. At 1912
the body was cut down and after being
placed in coffin was turned over to his
relatives and taken to Kenly for burial
The entire proceedings were carried
out without a hitch. There had been
some talk that there would be trouble
and in order to preserve order the Will
son military company was ordered out
under command of Lieut.. L. S. Pace.
JOHN ROSES CRIME.
The crime for which Rose died was
committed last August near Lucama. He
shot from ambush Tom Farmer, re-
spectacle citizen of that section, while
he was returning home. Everything was
done for Rose as far as legal practice
goes And as a last resort an appeal was
made to the Governor for executive
clemency but without effect.
This is the second hanging in the his
tory of Wilson county. Over thirty years
ago negro was hanged here for the muir
der of his master.
There has been no undue excitement
in Wilson today, the crowd, which was
small, was very orderly.
