A Negro to Be Hanged on Board An
Oyostor BoaG.


A dispatch from Baltimore, Nd.
sayS with the greaest possible secrecy,
William Lee, the negro who has been
hald In the oity Jail under sentence OF
death for assaulttng two women In
Somerset county, some weeks ago, was
on Wednesday placed aboard the
steamer Governor r M. McLsne OF
the Maryland Oyster navy and started
for Somerset county to be executed
for his crime. F'
Lees case has been one of great
difii oulty to the authorities owing tC
the indignation tho orimo aroused on
the eastern shore of Maryland. 1t
has been repeatedly declared that the
oitizsns OF that locality will never
allow tho negro to be legally executed
and threats Of burning at the stake
have been freely made. After the
crime Lee fed to the eastern shore of
Virginia, and to protect him from
Maryland pursuers he was taken to
Norfolk under guard Of Virginia State
troops, thence he was brought back to
the city, tried and convicted prompt
ly. The law gives convicted muir
derer 20 days between the day OF con-
viction and his execution. This
period expired Wednesday.
On board the Governor McLane the
off1cers having Lee in charge took a
gallowB, coffin and all other necessary
things, and, 1t Is said that the exeou.
tion will take place on board the
steamer as soon as possible after the
waters of Somerset county are reach.
ed. This probably will not be until
early Friday morning. Ii is hoped
thus TO oircumvent those who swore
DO lynch Lee.
