in
May 5th.
A crowd of some size, composed
of both white people and negroes,
assembled in the court house to
hear sentence of death again pro
nounced upon the negro murderer.
In making his statement, before
sentence was pronounced, Phillips
made a few remarks in low tones,
most of his words being unintel
ligible to most of the audience.
The gist of his statement was to
the effect that liquor caused all of
his trouble, and he warned his race
against tailing into vicious habits
and against the demon of drink.
His manner was composed and he
did not exhibit a trace of excite
ment in
doom.
