Crawford's Find.

James G. Crawford OF this city, a
photographer, returned yesterday from
the bay, and brought with him a chunk
of bullion which he had found on the
seashore, says All Albany special to the
Portland Journal. Its weight was 2O15
pounds and was thought to be equally
composed of gold and silver. Experts
who have examined the find estimates
It's value at about S2O0. Mr. Crawford
Is going to have his find assayed and
learn the exact value of the chunk of
bullion. 1t is thought that it was
washed ashore from some wreck that
mad taken place on the sea. as the
chnnk bears the mark of the pot or
crucible in which it had been nodded.
Mr.. Crawford brought back with him
otiier specimens OF shells and marine
curios, such as fossils of seals and
other marine animals. The fierce
storms Of the past winter have driven
many OF the curiosities of the deem to
the shore and the hunting of these
forms one OF the interesting pastime of
the winter tourist
MIR. Crawford passed through Toledo
last Friday morning en- route home
from Newport and exhibited his 'treas.
ure" to The LEADER. 1t looks like an
overdone chunk of kettle. baked Boston
Drown bread, but may contain gold and
silver. For Mr.. Crawford's sake we
hope it does.1

up. He was asked if he wished
to say anything and answered,
Il want to say my prayers.
He was assisted to his knees,
his legs were bound, and
repeated the Lords Prayer after
Father Chasles. He was then
raised up. Sheriff LacOste quick
ly adjusted the rope around his
neck and as soon as Deputy
Broussard placed the black cap
over his head, sprung the trap.
Howard's neck was broken by
the fall and death was instanta-

of fourteen minutes Drs. F. r.

placed in a coffin in one of the
lower Jail rooms, where it was
viewed by between five and six
hundred people who came to the
execution. At five o clock Father
Chasles gave the body christian
burial in the Catholic cemetery.

hour set for the execution Fa-

bar, and pushed her backwards.
Scared because of the bar falling
and her screens, he fed as he
came, and made for Scott, where
he was arrested about 7:3O a. m.
by P. H. Mouton and others who
had been previously notified by
Sheriff Lacoste to be on the
look out for strange characters.
When taken into custody Howard
had blood on his clothes in his
shoes and on his feet. Deputy
Saul BrOussard went after him
and brought him to Jail. Sheriff
Lacoste ably assisted by his dep
uties and the town officers had
gathered a complete chair of evi-
dence against Howard, when he
confessed the crime.
Judge Pugh called the grand
jury together on June 4. A spec
ial term of court was held June
II, at which Howard was con-
victed, and on June Is he was sen
fenced to be hung.

He was then asked if he had

he had not, that he had confessed

for the sins he had committed
and would die game. He placed
his hands behind his back to re-
ceive the handouts and as they
started for the scaffold. said he
was willing to die for his crime,
but begged not to be made to
suffer. He walked unaided to
the scaffold, but as he stepped
upon the trap, his knees gave

panied him to the scaffold and
when life was pronounced ex-
tinct, knelt and prayed for the
soul of the dead negro.
Howard was an exemplary
prisoner and seemed grateful for
the kind treatment given him by
Jailer BrOussard. He bore cour-
ageously the strain of his ap-
preaching death and until actu-
ally on the scaffOld remained cool,
though Thursday and Friday he
showed considerable nervous
ness. He was perfectly resigned
to his fate and expressed himself
perfectly willing to die for his
crime.
Friday morning at $50 through
the kindness of Jailer Broussard
an Advertiser reporter saw
Howard. Dave was walking rap
idly backwards and forwards in
his cell singing religious song,
as they entered. Mr.. Broussard
called to him and he said on being
asked if there was anything he
would like to have published in
the paper as last word, he an
swered yes and said: 1 COM

and satisfied to pay for it. / am

pairing my soul to God and ask
him to forgive me all the sins
that have committed. l am
willing to die and have no fear
whatsoever. All l wish to say is
that Mr.. Broussard will see that
/ am put away right. He prom
ised me that he would stand to
me to the last and I believe he
will do what's right. because he
has treated me very nice while in i
prison. I hope to be an example
for white and black. That's all. /"
He added a moment later, MY
true name is Dave Emsley" and
spelled the name to be sure that
it was taken down right and he
asked several times that his true
name be printed, even calling out
as the reporter left that he print
his name Dave Emsley.
THE CRIME.
The crime for which Dave How
ard suffered was the murder of
J. G. Breaux, a Syrian, on the
morning of May %. He was a
fugitive from Opelousas where he !
had criminally assaulted a four
teen year old negro girl whom he
had brutally beaten on Sunday
morning May q. Arriving in
Lafayette that afternoon he hung
around the railroad graders
