HANGING NEXT WEDNESDAY
Essie Johnson to Swing for Murder
of Eliza Banks. Has Made No
Statement. Prays Often.

Unless a stay of sentence is given
him, which now seems improbable,
Essie Johnson, colored, will be hang
ed in Dawson on next Wednesday in
the Terrell county Jail.
The death penalty he is to suffer
will be melted out for the murder of
Eliza Banks, an aged negress, who
was slain just outside of her little
cabin near Dawson about two
months ago. Hearing a noise in her
hen house she went out to investigate,
and was shot down and then beaten
into insensibility by the chicken thief.
Johnson was arrested as the muir
derer and convicted at the November
term of superior court on an array of
circumstances that plainly indicated
him as the guilty man.
Johnson has had no word to say re-
garding the crime. For the past few
days he has almost constantly been
praying, and as the time draws Eearer
for his execution his supplications
have been increased.
Johnson's execution will be the first
ever had in the present Terrell county
jail. The last hanging in the county
was that of Harrison Stevens, which
occurred on the premises of the old
wooden jail on Lee street.
