Legally Dead, Really Alive.

A queer question of law arises in an
Alabama county. Two weeks ago, runs
the story, a negro was hanged for muir
der in due process The body was cut
down and pronounced dead by the ply
stefan attending, and was then turned
over to the relatives, who took it away.
They observed signs of life in it, where
upon a physician vas called in, who ap-
piled restoratives, and the man came
back to his former existence, in which
he now abides in health and strength.
The question is whether the law can
agaii lay hands upon him for that crime,
since officially he has paid the full pen
atty, and stands as dead in the legal
records of the case. At any rate, moth
ing has been done looking to his re-
