2 PENALTY PAID ON GALLOWS. HI>RM>ON ANSWEHKD WITH HIS LIFE FOR KILLING LOVINGOOD. Sxfoution Took Plce t Washing ton—H‘raid on Kept Hi* Nerve ami Advlrted 'I bone Who W itnewed Hi" Exeontion to Bentre-PnUc t e"- ed to Beat in Minntew After the Full of the Trap Story of the Crime for Which Herndon Died. Washington. Ga.. Aug. 17*—Dillard Hern don was hanged here to-day between 1 and 2 o’clock, the execution taking place in a large barn In the rear of the jail. The prisoner kept his nerve to the last and walked upon the scaffold without any visible sign of fear. He made a short statement, warning others to beware of his example. He said he killed Lovingood for money; that he was seduced by the devil and his mind was partly unbalanced. Herndon’s neck was broken by the fall. It was fifteen minutes before his pulse ceased to beat. The crime for which Dillard Herndon paid the penalty on the gallows, was com mitted on Oct. 9, 1899, when he shot John !Lx>vingood to death with a double-bar reled shotgun. Lovingood kept a store near Pistol, a small place about eighteen miles from Washington, and was a quiet inoffensive young man. well liked by every one. Herndon came to Lovingood’e store early that morning, bringing his gun, and loot ed around the store nil day. Late in the afternoon, he purchased some goods, ask ing Lovingood to change a S2O bill for him. Lovingood opened the safe, took out the money and laid it on the counter. While he was counting out the change. Herndon, who was standing directly In front of him. about three feet away, raised his gun and deliberately tdiot Lovingood, the ball entering his neck and breast. The muzzle of the gun was so close co the victim that his clothing was burnt by the discharge. Lovingood staggered toward a side door about Twenty feet away, but before he reached the door, Herndon shot him again, slightly wounding him in the shoulder. The dying man managed to stagger out of the door and ucross the road where he fell unconscious in a ditch. Hern-don then returned to the store nnd took from the safe ail the money that it contained, about $26. He then went out to where Lovingood lay and began fan ning him with his hnt. Some of the neighbors coming up about this time, Herndon told them that an old yellow cat had knocked the gun off the counter ami caused it to discharge, killing Lovingooi. The dying man regained consciousness long enough to accuse Herndon of mur dering him for money, which was stren uously denied by Herndon. Lovingood lived for about half on hour. Herndon was allowed to return to his home, about three miles distant, but was arrested that night, making no attempt to escape or re sist. When requested to do so, he hand ed the constable the money and a ring he had taken from the !afe. Herndon was tried at the November term of court, and was defended by able counsel, who filed a plea of insanity at the time of the killing. After remaining out for a week, the jury failed to report, and a mistrial was the result. He was again put on trial at the May court. A verdict of guilty was brought in and he was sentenced to be hanged June 8. The case was carried to the Su preme Court by his attorneys, where the verdict of the court below was affirmed. They then appeared before the Pardon Board to ask that his sentence he com muted, hut in vain. This is the second execution that has taken place in Wilkes since the war. though there have been sixty-one homi cides. Herndon was formerly a deacon In the Baptist Church and leader of the singing, but for some time he had been a terror to his neighborhood. To one unacquainted with the facts of the case it would seem a horrible thing to hang the old, gray headed, meek-looking man, but the de mands of justice have been met. EARNEST WILKINSON DEAD.
