many years win take place It Tyler
town, Walthall county, Friday morn
ing, when Eugepe Moseley, VIII Lang
and Carrie McCarter will pay the death
penalty for the murder of the %latter's
husband on March 25. 1919,
The event will be unique. inasmuch
as no appeal to the supreme court was
taken from the lower court decree and
Gov. Bilbo has not been asked to inter-
tere with a communication.
The evidence against the three ne
groes was so conclusive and the crime
so sordid that their attorney didn't
think il worth while to prosecute an
appeal. The victim, an aged negro
named Charley MeCarter. was foully
murdered, the plot being hatched by
his wife and Eugene Moseley, The body
OF the victim was buried In the wooos
and was not discovered until severa
months later, when q half witted Negro
who witnessed the crime told ahou 1t
