The growls of the mab, the grinding of the rope and the strug- gles of the negro stopped only a mo- mént, owing to the snapping of the rope. The 10,000 persons who had 1ooked on and danced in glee, produced armed men almost by magic and.they filled , the negro with, bullets.

He cried and begged piteously for was met by cries. and blows from the mob. ‘When Salzner was asked for his last statement, a man, a stranger in the crowd, steppe: forward and said he helieved Salzner was innocent, where- m and finally knocked him down was only plea of calmer perso: with the mob that saved his life, After Salzner was hanged and while his body was being riddled with bul- lets, the rope broke and his hody fell to the ground, where it now lies.
