pinned on a grey jacket by a Child of

Veterans looked as they received them.
Accompanying this badge of honor was
the following letter; which was direct
ed: "To Members Mecklenburg Camp,
United Confederate Veterans: "

"Confederate Veterans:
"In an .iages, it hals been the custom
of every civilized nation to bestow up

England. '" : V-'-

stick.
" The drum corps numbered 21 drums

on the Gallow?, for Mur
dering his Wife.
SAYS HE IS READY TO GO.
He Has Made all His Arrange
ments for Death and Burial
The Neptunes Will Furnish His
Coffin Requested the Sheriff
to Get Him a New Suit.
Mack Fesperman, colored, who killed
his wife, Irene Fesperman, will pay the
penalty for his crime Thursday Tmorn
ing. He will be executed between the
hours of; 10 and 12.
Fesperman was tried at the April
term of Mecklenburg criminal court,
found guilty o murder in the first de
gree and was sentenced by Judge
Moore to die on the gallows the 31st
of May, . , .
A News reporter went to the jail this
morning and found Fesperman buisily
writing on a tablet. When asked if he
was preparing anything for the news
papers he said that he was only trying
his hand at drawing. Turning the tab
let to:the reporter a splendid drawing
of a tree and flowers was to be seen.
When asked to say something (he
quickly responded that there was now
nothing that he could say that would
be beneficial to him or to the people
of Charlotte. Continuing, he said : "
feel perfectly resigned to my fate
There is nothing left for me to do but
to make my peace with God. This
have done. I have nothing against any
one on earth. Even my own sister, who.
swore my life away and was largely
responsible for my wife's actions, has
been forgiven. I do not feel that I have
the slightest ill feeling against any one
This is true because I have given my
heart to Christ. I have asked Him to
jake care of niytlittle child and I know
tie win. - . 1 - ; . . -
. Di?,ririjg tjhis 4,1k Fesperman did not
display, the, slightest signs of nervous
ness. He said that he did not think he
had. a fairr.triaL .Ke also stated that
from the Judge'4 charge to the jury he
could not See how the 1-2 jurors, arrived
at- the ;onciisiin that he was guilty
of murder in the .first, degree. "But,"
said he, "these twelve men will have
to answer to God fop the way they have
treated jme.'TThey27 probably were hon
estly miistakenr bsjtrj: was 7 entitled to
'tAerSP Of f medoubyh.i9 they, did
not give' neiMBut 1 have carried, the
T matter to God in prayer. He hag given,
me assurance that my soul will tak":
en care of after the people of Charlotte
have destroyed my life."
The condemned man then reviewed
his life. Said he: "I have lived in
Charlotte since I was ten years old.
Have been a member of the Neptune
Fire Company for nearly seven years
and have followed my trade shoemak-
ing since' a mere boy. I have never been
in court, never had any trouble of any
kind until I married seven years ago.
While my wife, poor woman, is dead
and gone, God knows she was not
faithful. She made my life-a burden
and because I could "no longer stand it
I am to be hung. Other people have
done what I did and the people thought
it alright but I guess they (the people)
think that I am a negro and cannot
feel as they do about family matters,"
but I aim thankful that God has put it
in my heart to forgive these and I will
go to the gallows1 with no hard feeling
against any man. woman or child in
Charlotte."
FesDerman talked freely about the
disposition of his body. The Neptune
Fire Company, of which he is a mem
ber. will see to it that he is given a
decent burial. Yesterday, Fesperman
asked Sheriff Wallace to please get
him a suit of clothes. He has asked
that his body be buried at Salem Bap
tist church, colored, in Paw Creek
township. His mother lives jiear by
and he has two or three children
buried there. His father and one broth
er live at MattHews' and he has a
brother who lives in Cabarrus county.
