utation Of the whole story.

IT WILL be remembered that George
Midgets, the colOred man who was hang
ell in Alexandria on the 18th of lss'
February, was positive in asserting thai
he preferred hanging tc serving life
term in the penitentisry. Efforts hsd
been made by his counsel to induce the
governor to commuts Midgets' sentence
t. life imprisonment His excellency
refused TO do this, and when this intel
Iigence was communicated to the con-
demned man, he exclaimed, "Thank the
Lord" and slowly proceeded to roll up 8
cigerstte. A similar case is reported in
Washington. President Roosevelt has
declined to interfere with the carrying
out of the death sentence imposed on
Albert Brown, eOlorsd, slayer OF his
brother, Harvey Brown. He is to be
hanged on Monday next. The condemn
ed man, when the Presidents refusal
was communicated him, said 81 would
rather die than 60 to the peniIentiary
for life. The idea of having to remain
in prison all my life seems more horrible
than death"
