from the mast as the Yacht jumped
into a sharp tumble of sea. It did not
break entirely in two.
The yacht has a spare gaff at Erie
basin an it will be in place in time for
tomorrow's race. The dense fog which
shut down on the yachts when they
had sailed about five miles Of the last
leg Of the course put an end to the
racing. Shamrock III had beaten the
old boat three minutes. forty-fve Sec
Onds to the turn and w. FIVE minutes

ADAMS is GOING TO
HANG IN FEW DAYS.
April %, Fixed as Date of
Execution.
PRISONER IS AGAIN SENTENCED
In Open Court The Death Sentence is
Passed Upon the Double Murderer
Yesterday-Adams Made the Same
Statement as to Crime.

On Wednesday, April 22nd, just
three week hence, Monroe Adams will
Ole upon the gallows here for one OF
the most brutal and heinous crimes
ever committedjn Sumter county, the
atrocious shooting to death OF his own
wife and daughter.
Inc sentence of death was again
passed upon the condemned negro by
Judge Littlejohn yesterday.
Adams was brought from his cell
about noon and in the presence of the
court officers and others present was
again sentenced to die upon the ealIows
on the date named.
When asked by the court if he had
any statement to make, Adams arose
and repeated the same rambling story
of the double murder which he related
at the time of the trial. The sum and
substance of this was that he thought
he was shooting two other parties.
viii Nighton, Henry Sapp, Hardy
Robinson and Nighton's wife, the
prisoner said, were theFparties whom
he went forth to kill that night.
By mistake" Adams says, he killed
his wife and daughter instead.
In his statement yesterday Adams
declared that because he was ''demo-
crat negro" he had been prosecuted / y
his race, and this was in part respon-
sible for all his troubles. He freely
confesses that he went forth that night
to do premeditated murder.
The only difference was in the names
of his several victims.
The supreme court passed upon
Adams case recently, sustaining the
verdict of the court below, and there is
nothing in the way of the condemned
mans execution on the date fixed by
Judge Littlejohn in thus again passing
sentence upon him yesterday,
The execution Will be private, taking
place in the high enclosure IN rear of
the county Jail.
