NOSE JOHNSON TO HANG.
New Record Made IN Dispcsins 81
Murderer

Bay Springs Within six hours aft
er his arrival here. Nose Johnson. the
negro highwayman. had been indicted.
tried. convicted. and sentenced to
death for the murder OF Rees Fitzpat-
rick
A new record was made for the
quick administration OF justice. The
negro showed no fight. and did not at
tempt any form OF defense, and was
ready to repel any effort at mob vio-
ience. The community IS quiet. and
no more fear Of mob violence is en-
tertained.
The former attempt at lynehing. #
seems, was caused by a report given
currency to the effect that the negro
could not be hanged IL he entered a
plea Of guilty.
Judge Hughes fixed the date OF the
legal execution for September J.
