Pearl Thomas.

Especial to Tho Times- Dlspatch.l Il.
MADISON, VA. November 29.--At
1850 o'clock this morning Just a little
after sunrise. John Gillison, the con-
5demned murderer of Pearl Thomas,
satisfied on the gallows the sentence
of the court, and was, hanged on the
same gibbet that was erected seven
years ago for the execution of Grant
Reed, the noted Wife murderer. The
drop fell exactly at 1850, and In fif-
teen minutes he was pronounced dead
by the doctors In attendance. He died
from strangulation, his neck not be-
ing broken by the fall. b.
Tho condemned man made no state
nlent, before his death except to say
that his sins We're forgiven, and that
he. was going to heaven, and his last
5wordsswere "Good-by, Mr.. Pattie." The
rope with which he was hung was
borrowed from Fauquier county, and
had been used to hang five men. Gill
son protested conversion a short while
before his death. He was cool and coll
slected. and went to his death without
a nurmur. Tho crime for which he paid
the penalty was the, murder of Pearl
Thomas. in thisycounty on August 18th,
last.
The case was unique. In that the
prisoner was not assigned counsel. and
was tried by tho court and sentenced
to death without the Intervention Of a
jury, having pleaded guilty to tho In
dlctment for murder.

that the exposition will be opened for

The foflctals of the tercentennial are

They are confident, that with the
backing of the administration and the

able to pay off at least part OF the

the idea will appeal to Congress.
