the northside of the county Jail and
Sheriff Carlton has completed all ar
rangements. Williams was about the
most unconcerned man about the Jail
yesterday and while he could hear the
gallows being built he was seated in
his cell reading his bible, which has
been his constant companion.
He declared that he was ready.to die
and had made all preparations. "Fri-
day l will be in heaven" he said.
Sheriff Carlton will be assisted at the
hanging by his three deputies and Sher-
iff j. P. Brown, of Titusville. A jury
of twelve citizens, two physicians and
representatives of the press will be the
only witnesses. This is the first exc
cution to be held in St. Lucie county.
Williams has confessed to the murder
but insists that he was justified.
