Mobile was feeling chesty for a
while over the prospects of a public
hanging. Her press agents rubbed +:
in on the rest OF US and heralded the
coming event far and near. But the
unexpected sometimes happens. and
just as our Alabama friends thought
all was we'll, the broken-legged negro
who had kindly consented to be
hanged for the amusement of a curious
public, and incidentally for murder,
contracted smallpox and was sent to
the pest house. This scaly coon
couldn't resist temptation, and he
escaped, thus leaving Mobile on the
carpet with broken suspender. How
ever, the escaped patient and criminal
was caught over in Selma, and the
hanging will in all probability be held
according to the original program.
