now holding the regular term of
the Circuit Court in Iazoo county,
spent Sunday with his family in
Jackson, and while here he related
an amusing incident in connection
with the hanging of Joe Camp
bell at Yazoo City.

"A box OF violets for the condemned
man arrived from "A woman out in

reading OF the approaching eXecu-

who. perhaps, belongs to that cur

who believes in showering atten-

and vilest creatures.

securely tied up. and Sheriff Will
son. who has always been known
as discreet man, was afraid to
open the thing. fearing that it
might contain an Internal machine
of some sort from Northern luna
tic who happened not TO believe in
negro hangings.
The deputies were also reluctant
t. unite the package. and Sheriff
Wilson finally decided to turn it
over to the jailer on the ground
that the custodian of the county

confessed to feeling of distrust,
