Bam WrUbt Executed rr the Murder
of Carr October Sort.
Special to Journal.
Goldsbobo, November 10. Precisely
at 19 o'clock noon, the rope was pulled
and Wiley Vuughan, known as Sam
Wright, was dropped into eternity. Alter
7 minutes the man's pulse had ceased to
beat and iu 15 minutes he was pronoun
ced dead and his body taken down. His
neck was not broken, he died from stran
gulation.
The time for wuicbSam Wright, or iib
he claimed his name to be, Wiley Vaugh
an, suffered death was committed Octo
ber 2, lfc!)7, about four miles from this
city at a Biuull country stoic kept by a
white man named Curr.
Wright, who is a mulatto, was once
employed by t'nrr, and on the night of
the murder, Wright came to the store
where Cnrr was alone, asked him for
some cheese, then for some wine. When
Carr stooped to get the wine, Wright
struck him, and afterwards stuck a knife
into his throat, killing Carr.
Detection and trial soon followed, and
through it all Wright lias been cool and
collected.
Today was o'ear, bright and cool.
Early In the morning crowds of colored
people began to gather around the jail,
and many colored people from the coun
try came in. Trees and windows around
the jail were soon filled with those who
wanted to sec the hanging.
There was a good deal of disntisfaction
when It was found that the banging was
to be in private, hut the utmost order
prevailed.
The Goldsboro Rifles formed a line
around the jail enclosure, and the crowd
filled the space back of this line.
At 11:50 Wright came from the jail,
walking unassisted, and steadily mounted
the Bleps of the scnlford, which was iu
the jail yard, but surrounded by'nn extra
high fence.
Mounting the scafford, with bare lie ad,
Wright stood six minutes, making his
speech, declaring Ihut he had committed
Hie murder, and was now willing to die
for it. He spoke quietly, and ccolly nnd
without excitement.
After- his speech he made a short
prayer and sang a verse of a song, then
said, -'All right, good bye my friends,
mi et me in Jordan.''
The warrant for his execution was then
read, a colored minister offered prayer,
(he noose was adjusted. Hie black cap
titled on, and with a sudden snnp, the
trsp fell, and Sum Wright fell nix feet,
twitched slightly then hung motionless.
Sheriff Scott deserves the greatest
credit for the admirable order main
tained and for the gencrol excellent ar
rangements attending the execution.

Explanations us to why certain high
offlciuls have free passes seem to be the
order of the day. Governor Russell
made a nice little mess as to why he had
these passes and so has Treasurer Worth
and others. Senator Butler in his expla
nation says he does use free passes, not
as a public otHcial, but as a newspaper
man. It matters little in what capacity
lie uses them, he Saves his mileage over
the country. If free passes are unlawful
nnd the grand jury is ordered to find a
true bill against any railroad who is
found guilty of issuing them, then there
should be no free passes to newspaper
men or any one else. Senator Butler
talks beautifully (r) about refusing to
accept passes pressed, upon him as a pub
lic official.
Yesterday the governor called the
council of State in session to discuss the
advisability of ordering out the troops
here to go with the negro Evans, to
Rockingham where he is to be tried for

lie was brought here to prevent lynch
ing. It was deemed necessary to lend
military escort wi'.h the negro for he
would scarcely be safe in that part ol
the State.

Governor Russell today issued his
Thanksgiving Proclamation. He says
that our State has Keen very much blessed
in every way and calls upon the people
to give praise and thanksgiving to God.
The Stale bus indeed been blessed in
every way except politically. We could
give thanks that even :i short period of
this political muddle bad passed, but
surely there is nothing to be lliauklul
for, in the fact tnat the State tns such a
set of rulers.

Washington, D. C November 0.
Tho full text of Spains reply to the Wood
ford note was read at the Cabinet meet
ing today. Its tone U very pacific, and,
instead of being at all warlike, was
regarded by the Cabinet as very satisfac
tory and a9 calculated to allay any fear
of a hostile outbreak.
As stated repeatedly w ith emphasis
President MclCinley is doing everything
within reason to avoid a rupture with
Spain. He is following very closely Mr. i
Cleveland's peace policy. But notwith
standing the administration's well known
attitude, certain papers print sensational
articles every day to show that wur with
Spai l is s ire to come.
