The Jury, After Being Out Over One Day, Gave Him the Death Sentence—Excitement Not Yet Over, Blanks’ Day Numbered. Judge Robb tf As the Day ot Execution— Are Set August 26 Won't Remain There, The jury in the case against Bob Blanks, the negro charged at May- tield with committing rape upon Ten- aie Bailey,{a girl of that place,return- ed a verdict shortly after 10 o'clock this morning, adjudging the prisoner guilty as charged, and fixing his punishment at death. Blanks, who has faced death so often, and been in constant fear sinve he was captured, did not exbibit much feeling when he heard the verdict. The verdict was a surprise as it was thought that the jury would be unable to agree, as it. had been out ever since Saturday after- noon at 2:50 o'clock. Blanks was then sentenced by Judge Robbins to be hanged at May- field on August 26th,, 7 This afternoon Blanks was escorted to the I. C, depot in Mayfield, and placed aboard the train to be taken Louisville to await the day of execu- tion, He was accompanied by the soldiers, and doubtless congratulated himself over bis respite even or little over a month. All the troops that have been sta- tioned at Mayfield accumpanied the prisoner back, passing through Pa- ducab shortly after 2 o'clock. It is said that an effort will be made to procure him a new trial, and 4 change of venue to another county. FIGHT RENEWED. Another Sensational Fight Oc- curs.
