legally, and the sentence was carried out with such ma
terra. as the sheriff had at hand. The gallows was an
extremely primitive affair and the work was cheaply
and, therefore, badly done. Some difference of opinion
arose as to the length of time the mar should be allowed
to hang. Hitherto in that section it had been the GUS
tom to hoist the victim to a telegraph pole and let him
remain there. This unfortunate, being the first to suffer
death legally in those parts, was a subject for expert
mentation. He was cut down when he qVt protesting.
His friends took him away, and he came to just as they
were getting ready to bury him.
Thus did nature set at naught the aims of those good
people who have insisted that legal means should be
used in executing criminals in the Southland. The man
is legally dead. Having been duly executed on the day
set he cannot be taken and hanged again. The sheriff
has made return on the carrying out of the sentence OF
the court, and that is all there is to it.
1t would seem that the work of those good people
who have been engaged in bringing about the reform OF
the South in the matter of Furnishing its criminals has but
just begun. They were duly. and very properly proud
of the fact that they had brought about such a change
of sentiment in the interior of Alabama that a black
man was to be legally executed. Now it is shown them
that it is not enough to put the gallows of reform into
the hands of these uncouth people. They must now take
steps to give the sheriffs of Alabama lessons in the best
means of hanging criminals. Else will a p~rejudiced
Southern press rejoice over the defeat of the innova-
ton and scott at the reformers.
