TEE LAST -QF BEABHAK;
- j To-day one week ago, at 1 1 o'ckfck,
Henry. Brabham, the- r murderer of
, -- Jpha B. Mocca, was hanged in Char
' lottein the presence of about 100
' men. '
"The editor of the Rocket was there
V; a short' while after the 'execution
.. and expected to find everything in a
gtate of excitement, but to learn any
-- of the particulars information had to
' " be sought , We saw the liberated
prisoner that foiled Brabham's atr
tempt to break jail; saw the mark of
the blow on the' side of the head re
ceiyed from the murderer hand.
This negro said Brabham was -the
' meanest man hte ever fcnewy and, 'n---
deed, several said thSy never saw a
human face .death ; with such cool
ness as. did he. s , i " - .
On the day preceeding his, execu
. tion, ho went to ' see the gallows on
whicl;he was to receive his doom;
' shook itjand made the remark, "I am
the" most vigorous' man that' -ever
.ascended such a scaffold." , He also
kicked against the kind of coffin the
authorities were to bury him in and
gaitf if lie couidnt get a better one
he would rather not be buried at all.
His spiritual adviser xnade a con
fession for him, openly acknowledg-
ing the deed for which he was hung,
' and warning his friends to steer clear
of a sporting life, as it was that
which brought him to the gallows.
Jackson's Ashes Removed.
Lexington, Va., June 25. At 4
o'clock this morning the ashes ofoBe
of the greatest generals of modern
.times was brought forth to light. The
body of Stonewall Jackson was taken
; from the grave in which it has rested
since the burial in 1864 and quietly
placed in the vault built ; far it; over
which the moriunlent wfll be erected.
Mrs. Jackson requested that the re-1
moval be, made in the night, that no
carious crowd with prying eyes or
relic-hunters with their kleptomaniac
greed desecrate the almost sacred
scene.!' ; . -
Not oyer ten persons in Lexington
knew anything 6f it this morning. A
- f sw minutes nast 4 o'clock Mr. E. J
Laban, the contractor in charge o:
the monument work, stuck the first
spade into the grave. - Two negroes
then assisted'in throwing out the
earth until the coffin, was reached
, exactly at five o'clock. -
. They then returned from the scene
and Capt. J. C. Boude and Colonel
John A. R.Varnar, 'two of General
Jackson's devoted followers during
the war j Dr. J. Ham Campbell; M
W. Paxton, of the County News ;
William C. Charlton, keeper of the
cemetery, and another person raised
the coffin from its resting place and
took it immediately to the vault,
where, after, a slight examination, it
was placed and sealed up forever
from the eyes of the" world.'
The coffin was in a perfect state of
preservation, except rust hung on the
large iron casket.
It was carried to the vault by the
handles alone. The'plate was then
removed and a view of the - body
showed the clothes were in a Mr
. state of preservation.
t Much, however, to the surprise of
all present, the coffin had considera
ble water in it.
The frame on the plate had rusted
entirely away.,
