cell, and the other prisoners teased
him continually, telling him that he
would see Johnson's ghost some

very seriously, and Saturday morning
declared that the previous night he
had been visited by the spirit of the
man who died on the gallows.

then threw a stick In on the sleeping
man. Combourt started from his
cot. Seeing the ghost" bowing to
him he gave a shrek and then fell
to the floor unconscious.
The Jokers took fright at the sud-
den turn of affairs and called Sheriff
Griffin and Turnkey Ward. Com
bourt was found on the floor of his
cell, and to all outward appearances
was dead. His heart was but faint
ly beating, the pulse was gone and
the end seemed near.
DR.. Johnson administered powerful
stimulants, and after an hours hard
work pronounced Combourt out of
immediate danger.
