Although I never saw but one
hanging, I witnessed a sight that even
professional hangmen have not seen, -
said A. A. Albrechton of Columbus,
Miss. 1T was at my home. A young
Mississippian named Purdy had been
convicted Of murder in the first de.
gree and sentenced to hang. The evil
dence was wholly circumstantial, and
before he was accused Of that crime
the young man had borne an excellent
reputation. He was also connected
by marriage with some Of the best
people in the state.
Nevertheless, he was sentenced to
hang and the governor would not re-
prieve him. There were two factions
in the community, one believing him
guilty, and the other considering him
innocent. The latter talked of rescue,
but it was all talk.
1.-THE scaffold was not inclosed and
when young Purdy assembled the gal
lows he walked erect and fearless. He
denied his guilt, and all who saw him
were compelled to admit his bearing
was that of an innocent man. The
black cap was pulled over his face, the
sheriff pulled a lever, and the next

Circus Giant the Cause

There was a small grist mill on this

The large diamond which Mr. Kru-
ger took with him when he left South
Africa has a very cdrious history. It
originally belonged to Meshhesh, q
Basuto chief. from whom it was ex'
torted by T'Chaka, the Zulu king.
TChaka's brother killed him and stole
It. The brother came to grief, ana
the gem passed into the possession Of
a Zulu chief. who o afterwards
was assassinated. The natives say
that no less than sixteen Of the sue
cessive p%ossessors of the diamond
either were killed OF driven out Of the
country. The diamond was then seen
by white men, who set out to get It.
A party Of whites attacked the natives
who bad the stone and a fierce fight
ensued, in which 300 lives. mostly ma
tive, were lost.
Memela, a native chief, took the
gem and concealed it in a wound
which he had received in battle. At
forwards Memela was caught by the
Beers and set to work as a slave. Kru-
ger. hearing his story, released him.
and IN gratitude Memela gave the
stone to his liberator. Some years

Lord Dacre, who died lighting for

In the battle his favorite war horse
should be buried in the same grave
with him. According to his wishes.
when his interment took place in Sax
on %churchyard after the battle a ire
mendous grave was dug and in It tho
warrior was buried, seated upright on
his horse. For centuries reflections
were cost upon the accuracy of this
tradition, but a few years ago while
excavations for new graves we're being
made close by the reputed burial place
of Lord Dacre the pick of a digger
struck into a great bone. and upon
further search being made the skull
of a big horse was brought to the sur
face. AS this was found almost at the
very spot under which the body Of
Lord Dacre was said to lie it was ac-
cepted as confirmation of the tradi-
ton, particularly as the skull was
found to be standing vertically in the
soil. The skull was replaced carefully
in it's original position and the ex-
cavation filed up.
