Yesterday was the day appointed for the hanging of Sang Armor Thurs day the reprieve arrived, but the news made little headway in the neighboring country. At an early hour yesterday morning . the crowds began to gather. From all parts of this county, and from neigh¬ boring counties for a circuit of many miles they came. Sturdy farmers, mothers with their infants, troops of | darkies with mules, some afoot many , with stout gripsacks and a day’s pro- ! visions, might have been seen wending their way to the festal gathering. It i to be i was an epocli in their lives. Nev had. hanging . er a been witnessed in lahaferro. , ho ,, said ., that , useful , , relic of „ I the past, ‘ the oldest inhabitant.” In j a short while the city was densely crowded. The streets and avenues were line ! with wagons, and groups of anxious visitors. .Since the days of the great Crawford, and the famous stump battles of our own venerated “Commoner,” the public square had a multitude, Ihe scene was an inter eating one. Here and there was a buggy with a blushing uiniden and the attendant es¬ covt ; here an ox-cart with a primitive looking cargo, here a huge wagon with lbs team of mules hearing the family . f a sturdy farmer, the children all ea ter for the fun,the trusty “hound-dog” hitched on with a stout rope. Here and there the peddler of pies ' ami can ty . idled - Ins vocal*** ... . and tne howls . , ot Ihe eager infant went lip at the sight of I he coveted ginger-bread. IIow cruel lr the disappointment fell upon them. A Cruikshank or a Keppler would have gloried in the scene. None others could have done it justice. Gloom fell upon thetacysof many : indignation spoke 01 HVG 1 ti'.e f*',t,,res ' 1 ethers ” Ti.e unde of the maiden relaxed its sweet ness; the good liousewite grumbled at the useless trouble of the trip; theeltil dren cried at the sudden spoiling of their fun .and the hound-dog echoed Iks .regretful chorus. On the fences of the Court House square the brawny jeomrn sat,and gave earnest utterance lo indignant protests. We too looked mournfully on We had just come from a neighboring city commissioned comiuissioneu bv uy a a g great hi. da’lv oa.iv to to re- re port the details of the dreadful Our resident associate gazed sadly at three columns of solid type, wherein a history of the crime, the trial of the condemned and an interview with a a fresh con tession were set forth with blood-curdling minuteness. The en terprising r.a however was soon equal to the situation, and rushed off with subscription book and a Jot ol fly* specked accounts to make hay while the sun shone. “Liaps ’ were d.s cussed, fresh items collected, and the breeches pocket ot the r. a. grew lieav ier. At length the hubbub and murmur of the gathered multitude was hushed, The great day came to a close. The sun went . down . upon a procession of , retreating vehicles, and silence reigned through the once busy streets, As night fell upon the public square there was naught visible but a flock of village geese. Ever and anon a solita ry passer-by wended ins way along, and again disappeared We retired o our sanctum, and sadly thought of the uncertainty of human hopes. We shall now give the CAUSES WHICH LED TO TIIE RB8PITE. For two weeks past our people have been excited over the presence of three detectives in Crawfordville. They came among us in the usual mysterious way. The train was stopped about half a mile from the city proper and the mysteri¬ ous men were allowed to get off. But the Ijten eyes of our home detectives— ever outlie alert for news items—saw them, and iu less than a half hour, the news flashed over the town. Tiie pur¬ pose for which they came was tiie SAVING OF SANT- ARMOR, the murderer of Amos Ellington. They wo, ked in a secret wav. Little was known of the character or progress of their investigations until Thursday morning when the news broke l ! ke a thunder-clap upon the community that Sang Armor had been respited until the twenty-fith of No vember next, and Aleck Stevens and Jeff Adams arrested for complicity in the murder. Elsewhere we publish the The Democrat YoL 5. reprieve of the Governor and the war rant of Judge Pottle. Sang was retnov ed to the jail at Augusta, and Stevens and Adams carried to Warren ton l»y the sheriff of that county aud there imprisoned. This strange proceeding is ENVELOPED IN MYSTERY. Why they were carried to IFarrenton no one knows. When taken to train no one knew their and the Sheriff of Warren who had Uu , m j(J cllarge prote8 e d ignocruce on the g^ect. (; 0 1. John A. Stephens and Messrs. Marshall Andrews and John W. Hixon, the counsel of the pris oners, sought information as to the disposition lo be made of them. The re P*y was that they were to be carried to Harnett where instructions would he received from Judge Pottle by tele S r -*Ph. It is claimed that no telegram was inquired for or received, and that the prisoners were conveyed directly to Warrenton. These DARK LANTERN PROCEEDINGS aroused the indignation of the ent'-e community. What proof is to be ad¬ duced in support of the charge against these parties as yet unknown, The de¬ tectives claim with confidence that ample evidence exists, aud that others still will be implicated in the crime, They boldly allege that Sang was HIRED BY TWO PROMINENT CITIZENS TO DO THE DEED, certain money transactions, it is said, implied them to tiiis course. No names are given. Stevens and Adams were arrested several niontbs ago, and afterwards discharged. Xu evidence could he brought against them save the conliict iug confessions of Sang Armor. At times the latter would charge them with complicity in the crime, and again these stories were flatly deni d. At the last term of the Superior Court a thorough investigation was made of the case. The result was that Sang Ar¬ mor was indicted as the sole perpetra¬ tor of the crime. His trial and convio tion followed. And yesterday was the befoie the sentence of the law was pronounced, he confessed the crime, but charged that Stevens had directed him to strike the fatal blowy while lie finished the murder with a pistol, ami j e ff Adams stood by to keep watch, As the certainly of his doom became ,nore >'0 denied this story and confessed that he alone did the DEED. .Since then he him finally adhered to th.'"te'im t» _u im m'atfairs'isst^Th 01 un.ms i.isi 1 nuisurtv. 11 ilslav^ " nli ’ 1 he cmVom.-ff man «m»*v-d no s ir . pnse or satisfaci 1011 at the intelligence j'U-.MotV-'v Ids’removal r'« ho visiri-'i lie 'idiii'iust'mvv 'tin , us to confessed crime and expressed his willingness to Imbed it is said by so in- tint lie Asseited liis r desire to nu hung ilt tl,e appointed time. The co-’iisel employed by Mr. It. T. Edge the ad ministrator of the murdered man. to conduct the prosecution of the prison ers, are Jas. IFhitehead Esq., of IFar ienton, and lion; Jas. F. Iteid, of this place. In an interview with the latter gentleman a reporter of The Demo crat elicited the statement that strong evidence would be brought forward to support the oliarge made by the detec tive, and that results would follow wh,ch w0 " 1 ' 1 cle;lte AX excitement greater than E\ ER BEF< ItE KNOWN k -vowv in this county. Further than this Mr. Iteid was silent. Stevens is a young white man about twenty-five years of age, the *in ot a widowed mother. So far as we know he stands well in the county. Jeff ams is a young colored man a iitnn baud of Stevens. Each stoutly pro c ims Jus innocence, and looks with confidence to a speedy release.
