RAIDS ON THE COAST.
Diamond Back Terrapin Beds
Looted Generally by41n
known Parties.
THE LOSS WILL Bfc LARGE.
Cspt. W. A. Sanders, of WHmhirtoo, One
of Heaviest Losers Prices This Year
Are Good, Which Probably Ac
counts for the Thefts.
Owners in Wilminirton have iust
learned of systematic and very exten
sive raids that have been made by un
known parties during the cast week
on the "diamond back" terrapin beds
along the Cape Pear coast Several
thousand of the valuable crustaceans.
tbe Northern market for which is just
now opening, have been pilfered and
number of owners of pens from
which the terrapins have been re
moved are anxious to learn the iden
tity of the depredators.
The penning and raising of "dia
mond backs,4' as they are commonly
called, is an important industry at
contiguous points, and as they are
very scarce this year the season
opened last week at prices ranging
from $10 to $34 per dozen. The terra
pins are kept in a pen near tbe water.
and at this season of the year, when
they stop feeding, they bury them
selves in the ground and mav be
stolen without being missed by the
owners for several days. The pilfer
ing of beds along the coast last
week was general and wholesale.
which leads the owners to believe that
the work is by organized narties.
who are equipped for getting them to
market and are fully cognizant of their
value and shipping.
Last week Capt. W. A. Sanders re
ceived ah order from a Baltimore house
for a number of "diamond backs" and
he went to his pen at Little River. S.C..
to procure them for shipment yester
day. He was dismayed to find only
one terrapin in his large bed of 353.
Not wishing to disappoint his custo
mer, Capt. Sanders hurried a message
to Mr. C. E. Wright, keeper of an
other of his pens at Wrightiville, but
that too had been raided and 203 terra
pins stolen.
At Middle Sound Mr. Charlie Mason
ost 300 a few days ago. and the Stab
learns that the depredations have been
general all along the coast, the losses
perhaps amounting up into the thou
sands.
It is probable that the aid of the
State Shell Fish Commission will be
invoked. The terrapins belonging to
Capt Sanders were marked by two
niches on the lower right hand side of
the shell.

COUNCIL EXECUTED.
Negro at Fayetteville Met Horri
ble Death Yesterday, Pro
testing His Innocence.
DISPLAYED GREAT COOLNESS.
Rope Broke and He Pell to tbe Floor, Bat
Soon Regained His Feet and Walked
Again Upon the Trap Father
Marion Attended Him.
From the Fayetteville Observer of
yesterday afternoon the Stab takes the
following account of the hanging of
Lewis Council in that city yesterday
morning :
Lewis Council was hanged inside
the jail of Cumberland this morning
at 10:15 o'clock in the presence of about
25 witnesses who had been formally
summoned by Sheriff Burns, and
which included Dr. J. D. MacRae,
county physician, and Dr. A. S. Rose,
county coroner.
Tbe prisoner was attended in his last
moments by Rev. Father Marion, of
the Roman Catholic Church, who has
been throughout faithful in his spir
itual ministrations, and - unwearied in
his efforts to procure a commutation
of sentence for the wretched man.
A few minutes before tbe last mo
ments of life, Sheriff Burns permitted
the condemned man to come out of His
cell; and he walked slowly, but with
firm step, by the side of Father
Marion, who now and then repeated
parts of Holy Scripture or a brief
prayer. Then the prisoner kneeled at
the feet of his spiritual adviser, and
prayed fervently. Rising to. his
feet, he turned to the sheriff, who at
exactly 10 o'clock, read the warrant
of death, his only reply being: "I am
innocent." Between Sheriff Burns
and Father Marion, Council then
walked to the foot of the ladder and
ascended it without aid, to the; top of
the line of steel cells, which form a
platform, where were grouped about
the creature on the verge of death, the
sheriff, the priest and officers Raynor
and Monaghan, the last immediately
binding Council's feet and arms, his
hands being for the moment free, in
which he held a crucifix.
Council recited the Lord's Prayer,
following Father Marion, his confes
sion of faith in the Roman Catholic
Church, and again and again repeated:
"As Christ died for the love of me, I
die for the love of Christ"
Then said Father Marion: "Lewis
Council, you know now that there is
no hope for you, that you have, but a
minute to live. I want you to tell the
reporters of the press and other citi
zens here assembled whether you are
guilty or Innocent."
Council replied, holding up his
hands with the cross, "Before you all,
in the presence of Christ crucified, I
proclaim my innocence." The priest
asked: "Do you swear it?" "I swear
that I am an innocent man."
Taking the cross from the hands of
the condemned, Father Marion, after
bearing testimony to the prisoner's
nerve and grit.and after declaring that
he had over and over again urged him
to confess if he were guilty, raised the
cross toward heaven, and solemnly de
clared in ringing tones: "I hereby
proclaim, in spite of Governor Aycock
and that warrant, that this . man dies
innocent Good-bye, Lewis," he con
tinued. "Have you anything to say
to the sheriff?"
Council thanked the sheriff and his
officers for their kindness to him, de
clared that he had no hard feelings to
wards any one and forgave all for per
secuting him; that when all came to
die they would know he was inno
cent. Deputy Sheriff Monaghan adjusted
the black cap, the signal was given
and the sheriff sprung the trap. Hor
ror of horrors, the rope broke and the
body fell to the floor beneath. It was
a fearful scene, and the terrible silence
was broken by Father Marion, who
cried for all to keep cool
Council was assisted up the stairs,
all the while uttering dreadful groans.
He had strength enough, however, to
stand alone on the trap while another
rope was adjusted around his neck.
The trap was again sprung by Sheriff
Burns, and this time the rope held and
the negro was swung into eternity. In
fourteen minutes he was pronounced
dead by the county physician and the
coroner.
Council's courage through all this
dreadful scene was wonderful to be
hold. At 8 o'clock this morning Father
Marion visited the prisoner, whom he
found cool and collected and thor
oughly resigned to his death. He bap
tized him and . administered the holy
communion to the unfortunate man.
Council was convicted of rape at
the December term, 1900, of the Crimi
nal Court and sentenced to be hung
March 5th by Judge Moore. The
jury, in rendering a verdict, recom
mended that the Judge request the
Governor to commute the sentence to
fifteen years' imprisonment The
prisoner's counsel took an appeal and
this acted as a stay of execution. The
Superior and Supreme Courts found
no error. The Governor then set J une
24th as the time of execution. Several
days before that date he granted a re
spite to July 15th. Just before that day
was reached he again granted a respite
to July 22nd. On July 19th came
another respite to August 12th. A
few days before the day set for the ex
ecution came the foruth - respite to
November 1st. On Monday it was
discovered that the death warrant read
Saturday, November 1st, when Friday
was November 1st So the Governor
issued another death warrant making
the date Saturday, November 2nd,
thus granting the fifth respite.
Tremendous pressure was brought
to bear on the Governor to act on the
recommendation of the jury, by ' the
judge, solicitor, Father Marion and a
great many of the leading citizens of
Fayetteville. The Governor, how
ever, thought the man guilty and so
he had to die.
Shortly after the man was pro
nounced dead and cut down, Council's
father took charge of the body and it
was carried to the home near Wade
station . Here the funeral will be held
to-morrow (Sunday) afternoon. Rev.
Father Marion, of St Patrick's church,
will conduct the services.
The rope which was used to hang
Council, and which broke, was secured
from Wake county, where it had been
used on a number of similar occasions.
West the husband of the woman who
it was alleged was assaulted, was in the
city to-day, but the aheriff would not
permit him to witness the execution.
He is thoroughly disliked here and the
atmosphere was chilly about him.
Never before in the history of this
State or any other State, or govern
ment, was a man hung where such a
number of the people thought that he
ought not to be hung, including the
jury, judge and solicitor, before whom
he was tried.
MR. BEVERLY TUCKER FRENCH
Well Known Citizen of Wilmington Passed
Away Last Midnight From Attack of
Paralysis The Foneral.
Last midnight, at his home in this
city, No. 11 South Eighth street, Mr.
Beverly Tucker French, a well known
and highly esteemed citizen of Wil

the past five years with paralysis, and

on last Thursday. It was seeu then

vear of his age. He was a son of the

possessed many traits of sterling
character and manhood which
endeared him to a wide circle
of friends. He removed to Wilming
ton about 35 years ago and was en
gaged in various commercial pursuits
until the first stroke of paralysis un
fitted him for active en: ploy ment. Du
ring his Jong period of suffering he
bore with great fortitude his affliction
and always greeted his friends with a
smile. His death, though reliving
mm oi great suffering, is deplored
by all.
Mr. French is survived in the imme
diate family by a heart-broken wife,
two sons, Messrs. Reid and Clarence
French, and two daughters, Miss May
Beverly French and Miss Eliza
Freuch. He is also survived by two
brothers, Messrs. W. R. and Brooke
French, and two sisters, Mrs. J. A. Tay

The funeral will be conducted to
morrow morning from St James'
Episcopal Church at 11 o'clock and the

Examiner yesterday made his annual
investigation of the affairs of both the

the affairs of both institutions were

among the safest banks of their char

in every way worthy of the confidence
of the people.
