MURDERER WILLIAMS HANGED.
Paid Life for Crime of Kilinu John
Keller, at ST. Paul.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi. Feb 13.-
William Williams, condemned to
death for the murder of John Keller
of st. Paul, last April, was execute i
by hanging in the Ramsey County
Jail in st. Paul, early this morning.
Under the new law, which prohibits
the presence of spectators at any
hanging. excepting the officials of the
court and Jail, the members of the
jury and some other legal witnesses.
Sheriff Miesen refused permits to
hundreds of persons. who wished TO be
present at the hanging. The prepare
tions for the hanging had been made
very carefully and there was not the
least hitch in the proceedings. Dur
ing his confinement in the jail Will
liams wrote a history of his life,
which covers thirty-two pages of
closely written manuscript. The his
tory has been revised by Sheriff Mie-
sen and will probably be published for
the benefit of the heirs of the executed
murderer Williams met his fate with
stoical resignation and slept we'll the
night before his execution.

HELD SLAVES TEN YEARS.
Fined and Made to Work Out Penalties
at IS Cents Day.

SEYMOUR, Ind, Feb. 13.-John
Howard and George McKuron of this
place, have just returned from Mis-
sissippi, and relate a story of terrible
suffering and cruelty. They say they
found that white men have been held
as slaves for ten years.
According to their story they went
to Vance, Miss to work for the Ken
needy & Morelock Stave company, free
transportation being given them. 1t
was shown that they had been engaged
to drive teams and haul stave timber
When they reached Vance they were
told by the foreman that they would
have to go into the swamps and cut
timber
The young men demurred and in
sisted that the agreement with them
should be carried out. The foreman
had them arrested On the charge OF
obtaining free transportation under
false pretenses. They were arraigneC
and the squire at first told them thai
they could not be held on the charge
and read them the law. They got a
lawyer. and he told them the same
Nevertheless, this same squire fined
them $45 each, costs being added.
The squire stood guard over them
and next day they had to ride twenty
three miles on horseback to the coun-
ty seat, Belen. They were kept there
three days and given only one meal.
One responsible man offered to &C
their bond and permit them to work
out their fine and costs, but this was
denied them. as was also the right tC
appeal They were then taken to Es-
sex and turned over to the owner of a
plantation and placed in a stockade
during the night and made to work
under an armed guard.
They were to work out their fine at
fifteen cents a day, such a contract
being made with the court olHcers.
They learned that there were men on
this plantation who had been there
for ten years trying to work out fines
BEFORE one fine could be worked out
another would be trumpet up to hold
them. After nine days there the two
men broke from the prison pen one
night and after wandering IN the
swamps for several days struck
train and worked their way back
home

The Southern Branching Out.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Feb. 13.-1

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Feb. 13.-The
work on the new line between Embres-
vile, Tenn, and Marion, North Caro-
lima, for which the contract has been
awarded to W. J. Oliver & Co., of this
city, has been begun and will be
pushed with great energy. The road
which will be about ninety miles long
presents many engineering difficult
ties and will require a number of tun-
nels. Its cost will exceed $5,000,000
The southern has been practically
forced to build this line owing to the
fact that the south and western rail-
road built branch along the Wau-
tauga river into the Carolinas. The
new line will be an important coal line
and will save the Southern haul
age of about seventy miles. AT
present the road is hauling all the coal
from the Virginia fields into the Ca
rolinas by way of Morristown. 1t will
REQUIRE fully three years to complete
the new road.
