The Marquise d'Esclignac gave
brilliant little dinner to the colonel

of distinction, and among the guests
were the Due de fremont and Madame

himself at table, looked at everything
as though in dream. Julia Redmond
sat opposite him. He had sent her
flowers and she wore them in her

the Due de fremont glanced at him
affectionately, but Sabron was only
conscious that Julia's eyes did not

Wednesday night, July q, was taken
from the courtroom Friday night and
burned on the public square in the
presence Of 5000 men and women.
Stanley said he came from Fort

arriving Thursday morning.
While numerous threats we're made
against Stanley, reports of the ex-

the crowd back for hours.

the negro that guilt be fully estab-

When Stanley was cast into the
flames he struggled frantically to es.

Several men said Stanley confessed
that he did the killing, claiming that
he had been hired to do the deed.
