lie rested well last night and this morn
ing partook of a slight breakfast which
he ate mechanically. Since his incarce
ration he has not seen his wife, who is
sid to be slightly demented by reason of
tQe blows indicted on her head by him,
bat on yesterday he was visited by his
sister,' Mary Simmous, to whom he de
Birei that his body should be turned over-.
About 12 o'clock High Sheriff Man
ning, followed by the jury and county
officials, marched from the Court House
to the jail yard and ascended the scaf
fold. The "ministers of the dilf srent col
Ored churches of the city were wito the
condemned in his cell anJ their prayers
a id admonitions could be 'distinctly heard
b those on the scaffold.
The ropes, trap, etc., were thoroughly
examined by the Sheriff in order to pre
rent any mishaps or bungling in the un
pleasant duty he as High Sheriil was call
eJ upon to perform.
TlJE IIEAR3E AND CFFIS
arrived a few minutes bofore ' 12 o'clock
and the latter was depooitel on the
ground imder the gallows. The crowd
had so gathered around the hearse as to
require the aid of the police to move the
crowd to make room for the solemn cor
tege which bro the last earthly tenement
for the body of the doomed man. At 10
minutes past 12 o'c'o k the ministers sig.
nlced their readiness to appear when the
he vy iron door swung on its hinges and
TEE FAD ritC CESI N,
headed by the Rev. J. O. Frye, marched
down the west corridor, thence up the
south corridor to the new door an 1 on the
ga'lows. .Hichardson ctme cut by the
si le of Rev. Cornelius Sampson, with a
detachment of the Sheriff's guard behind I
him. He smiled as he rxsoguizjd bib
friends and acquaintances and bade them
gol-bye in a strong, clear vcice, not the
slightest tear cr tremor being 'perceptible
aj Jhe grasped their extended hands with
both of his, which were socurely tied at
the wrists.
At 12 minutes past 12 o'clock tha
doomed man stepped on the stand amid
the singing of the attending ministry acd
looked around the crowd, making nods oi
recognition to those Le knew. He was
very
COiirJSED AND CHEWED T. BACCO,
and occasionally expectorated on the death
trap. During the prayer delivered by
the Rev. J. G. Frye he kneeled on the
edge of the trap and would frequently
raise his eyes, which were open during
the entire prayer. At the conclusion of
the prayer, the S jeriff asked if he wished
to say anything, when the reply,
"YES, SIB," I
in a strong firm voice wa3 beard by all
those around. Bespoke for about five
minutes, statins that he bad made his
peace with his Maker and that he was
ready and willing to die. He caid he
did oot dread death; that he had, through
the mercy of Jesus Christ, put the last
enemy, Death, under bis feet, and that
he would to day climb 'the ladder that
Jacob saw ia the cloud leading up to
Heaven, He begged others to confess
their Qod and to profit by his sad ending.
He then recited
THE PARTICULARS OF THE MUBDEB
as follows: On the evening of the homi
cide he went to his house to see that
everything wa right and b came involv
ed in an altercation of words with his
wife, when old man Phinney told bim
not to use his narre in quarrels with his
wifr. He then quarrelled with Phoney
when the latter drew h s gun on him
Richardson says he then ran back to bis
house and in the '
HEAT OF PASSION
caught up a shovel and ran back to where
his antagonist was, when a general melee
ensued. He struck each of his assailants
and at the corner of Sixth and Harnett
streets he struck old man Phinney a
blow which felled bim to the ground. The
cry of murderl murder! murder! was raised
when he ran and was subsequently cap
tur d. He says the mistake he made
was in not standing his ground and letting
the officers of the law take him with old
man Phinney and his (P's.) gun lying at
his feet. He spoke in a clear voice and
showed no signs of tremor, and called up
on God as his witness as to ths correct
ness of his version of the murder of which
he was convicted. He further Btated tha1
he had no idea of committing the deed
when he went to the house, and that the
report that he had threatened that evening
to kill them was a falsification of the gross
est kind.
At 12:30 Sheriff Manning read the death
warrant, and at .12:31 Richardson stepped
upon the trap, and the Sheriff told him to
say his prayers. While his arms and legs
were being pinioned, the attending mic
isters sang tha last hymn he heard cn
earlb.
THE NOOSE AND BLACK CAP
were aajastea ai rz'.6i waiiet&i rope
was being adjusted the Sheriff asked if it
was too tight, when Richardsoa answer
ed, So, thank you. It's very comfor-
table " He then shook hands with the
Sheriff and the trap fell with a dead
heavy tbrud against a stauncheon made to
catch it. Richardson fell eight feet and
his ne;k was broken by the fall. He
died very easy. There were after the fall
some slight muscular contortions and in
twelve minutes aftei the fall Richardson
was pronounced dead by the physicianp,
Drs. Wiuauts and .Burbank. When he
fell his feet very nearly struck a man un
der the trap who was passing heedlessly
across from one side of the enclosure to
theothtr. jWhen life was pronounced ex
tiuct the bedy was lowered into the coffin
and tha remains were carried to the resi
dence of his sister, Mary S'mmons,
from whence they were taken this after
noon and interred in Pine Forest ceme
tery. The dooniqd man was plucky and
game to the last and showed no more
signs of emotion than one would if he was
getting ready to take a plunge in the
river for a bath instead of a plunge into
that mysterious bourne from whence no
traveler returns. Richardson's finale
should be a warning to others. Had he
not been a too frequent disciple of B .cchua
he might have lived to a ripe old age
instead of dying on the gallows in com
pliance with the scriptural, denunciation:
VVboso shedueth man's blood by man shall
hU blood be shed.
