Negrd Sentenced for Matlny and unrdn Executed Said and Did Fool Acts In HIa Last Honrs. Wilmington SpecUl th, Charlotte Obetrvcr, After making a confession fully exonerating the other two sur viving mem bers of the crew from any part in the crime, Henry Scott, colored, was hanged in the county jail here this after noon under sentence in the United States District Court for mutiny and murder aboard the Philadel Dhia schooner Harry A. Berwind off this coast last October. . The hour of execution had been post poned, awaiting the return of his counsel from Washington, where it was sought to get presiden tial intervention, which, however, failed. Inhis confession Scott ad mitted killing Capt. E. B. Rumil and four others, all that com posed the white men of the crew of the schooner Berwind, justify ing himself with the statement that the crew was maltreated and half fed. Arthur Adams and Robert. Sawyer, the other two men, exonerated, are under sen tence to die August 17th for their part in the crime, but in the light of the confession of Scott on the scaffold, it is expected that they will be either reprieved or pardoned by the president. Scott is a Philadelphia negro ' and met death with the coolest nerve perhaps ever displayed by a man going to execution. He signified his repentance, asked that his body be turned over to Jefferson College, in Philadelphia, for scientific research or to some other college and told the mar shal to see that the rope was all right, saying that he would give him the signal, which he did. He said he wanted no "humbug gery" about the execution and asked the United States marshal who sprung the trap to "make a home-run of it." Death ensued in 16 minutes from a broken neck- The body was sent this evening to the State University medical school, at Raleigh, for dissecting purposes. The execution of Henry Scott was very successful and was witnessed by about a hundred persons inside the rail enclosure. United States Marshal Dockery had made every preparation for the hanging and his plans were carried out without a hitch- An immense crowd, composed large ly of colored people, gathered around the jail at the hour of the hanging, but there was no ex citement. The remarkable nerve displayed by Scott leads some to the conclusion that the negro must have been mentally weak His confession was written and sworn to several flays ago and delivered into the custody of Wil liam K. Bellamy, his counsel, and Rev- E. R. Bennett, his spiritual adviser. The testament was sworn to again this morning just prior to the execution and on the scaffold the exoneration of Adams and Sawyer was made even more emphatically. Counsel for Adams and Saw yer, George L. Peschau and George Rountree, Esqs., will at once make application to the President for an unconditional pardon for the other two men upon-the strength oftheconfes sion of Scott. While he exoner ates them fully he says that they were traitors to him in not help inghim conceal the crime and that they deserve to be shot, but he must sav that they are not guilty of any part in the crime. He says that he shot the men himself and threw their bodies overboard. While his pastor was reading his confession from the scaffold today, Scott would turn to the crowd now and then and ask for quiet. When the minister would halt in the reading, as if he could not make out the copy, Scott would .prompt him. He displayed not the slightest emo tion and, before he went upon the scatTold, he placed his auto graoh on the back of photographs of himself and gave them to friends among the bystanders, TOWN OF KINGSDALE. Work of Klnosdale Lumber Co. Ball Team Organized Baby I Hurt. - Saturday afternoon the writer accompanied Mr. o. A. ludmund on a drive to his farms and to the town of Kingsdale- While there are some good crops along the road, as a whole they do not look well. Unless there is a decided improvement before harvesting time the crops will be short. Tne Kingsdale Lumber Com pany has built four new tenant houses, three kilns and is in stalling a 125-horse power boiler. It will be installed in about a week and the plant will then have 800-horse power. Some other new and modern ma chinery is also being added. Mr. J. A. Duke is the superin tendent of the Kingsdale Lumber Company. In conducting the business of the plant from 250 to 800 operatives are employed, the monthly payroll amounting to about $6,000. A plant has been installed to operate in connection with the saw mill for the manufacture of turpentine from saw dust and refuse from the mill. When the new boner is running Mils plant will be operated. All the refuse will be carried from the saw mill through pipes to the turpentine department and through a steam ing process turpentine will be extracted from it. Mr. Benjamin is in charge of this department and has had considerable experi ence. Excepting the cost ol oper ating, all the turpentine made from the refuse will be that much gained, for heretofore it has been burned. Mr. Benjamin thinks that at least five gallons of turpentine can be saved from the refuse of every cord of wood used in the saw mill. After the turpentine has been extracted the refuse will be taken back to the boiler room and used as fuel The child of Mr. Cook at Kings dale fell from the bed Friday night and dislocated an arm. The baseball enthusiasts of Kingsdale recently organized a team and one of the interesting games so far was played with the Center team at Atkinson's mill. The score resulted 14 to 13 ;n favor of Kingsdale. The latter are proud of their victory and will accept a challenge from the Center team for another gnme. FBOM BUIE NEIGHBORHOOD.
