Starving Himself to Death.

Walter Bailey. a negro, who was sem
fenced to be hanged on August q for
the murder OF another negro. Robert
Hunter. is acting as though he wanted
to end his life by starvation before the
day for his execution.
The day he was tried, when the jury
brought in verdict Of guilty and fixed
his punishment at death. he made a dash
for liberty and 1t took several men to
overpower him and take him back to his
seat. His every feature on that occasion
showed AFFECT fright and he has suf-
tered a great deal through fear Of meet
ing death.
The case was appealed to the Supreme
Court by his attorney and was affirmed
and then the Governor was appealed to
for Communication of sentence, but with
out avail.
Bailey has refused to swallow any food
for several days: Last night the Jail en-
ployes forced food down his throat. He
has starved himself 50 long that he is
very weak. 1t is possible that he may
have to be picked up and bodily carried
to the tower to be hanged 1t is believed
