Il firm and steady step and appeared
10 keep his nerve to the last. The
negro enjoyed a good Nights rest and
ate hearty breakfast.
1t was feared that trouble might oc-
cur before the hanging, as several
rumors were out that friends of the
condemned man would try TO rescue
him, and Adj. General Lawrence or
dered the militia company from Madi-
sonville to Greenville to guard the negro
No violence OF any kind was attempt
ed.
Before the black cap was adjusted
the sheriff asked Alexander if he de-
sired to make any statement. The ne

charge. and died protesting his inno-
cense.
When the trap was sprung the
negro fell for about six feet. but
the rope stretched for several inches,
allowing his feet to touch the ground
and it was necessary for several dep
uty sheriifs to pull him up several in
ches and hold him there until he died
thirty-two minutes later by slrangula-
ton.
