HICKS Is READY TO
HANG BY THE NECK,
Rejoices That Hanging Was
Cut Out.
ONLY HEARD THE NEWS FRIDAY
Several People Came to City to Wit
ness Execution of Jonas Hicks, but
Nothing Dolns-Hicks Rejoicsd That
Hanging Was Deferred.

Jonas Hicks did not tread the gaIlows
yesterday, as he thought he would do
under sentences of the court, and as
several disappointed citizens of the
county who came in to witness the ex-
ecution OF the negro certainly thought
he would do, too
But Hicks is still in the fash and
likewise in the county Jail, though not
until yesterday morning was he ap-
prised OF the fac. that his reck was
safe for several months ye:.
Hicks thought the day of his sd
iournment was at hand.
Yesterday morning he told Jailer
Oovingtou that he was ready for the
ordeal. The jsiler was not officially
aware Of the fact that Hieka' case
W mid be appealed to the bis ker court
and, therefore, could BOT tell him he
would nos hang now.
Snerif Bell thus enlightened the
condemned negro, who rei3iced at the
idea that bis neck was safe for another
six months. His feelings Of Joy can
best be imagined
Yesterday was the date set for the
execution of the negro Who killed Mr..
Jarrett J, Davis. and several friends
OF the deceased, not knowing of the
appeal of the case to the supreme court,
were in the city, possibly expecting to
witness the hanging.
But the case of Hicks will take the
usual course and it will be many
months ere he is hanged, even if he is
hanged at all.

Mrs. Josephine Sullivan, an aged

After the funeral 8 thorough search
