Strange Sequel to a Hanging.
[From the Abilene Chronicle.
Wc are about to relate one o*' the
most astounding developments that has
•ver come to light in this western com
munity. we may sefely assert, within the
recollection of any truthful person
The occurrence, commencing with the
killing of Kelley and the hanging of
his unJrddttjr, with* all its ghastly se
quels, is not tteafly equal to (tie tlfcad
tul scenes that subsequently followed,
as related to us by an eye-witness. It
will be remembered that the dead cul
prit Was bofced and buried by the Un
dertaker, Mr. Kicholtz, a short distance
from the town cemetery. Ou the night
following his burial, Mr. Johnson, a
lexas cattle dealer, was returning front
his herd. It was one of those beauti
ful moonlight nights for which this hit- I
itude is famoils. ~ Ifi the bright moon
light he continued his journey far in
the night. On approaching Abilene he
noticed the suspicious movements of
three persons, who were apparently dig
ging in an isolated locality. Ilisatotlht
ing, he tied his horse, and approaching,
hid himself in a favored spot. lie dis
covered the parties to be two well known
physicians of Abilene and a colored
man. Presently the spado of the ne
gro struck a hard substance. “That’s
it,” said one, and they shortly after la!
in full view a large box, whose cover
was ripped off in less time than it takes
to relate it. No words were spoken,
and itt a short time the musical ticking
of a galvanic battery was heard, with
an occasional sigh, apparently from the
box. Presently, his blood running cold,
his hair almost standing on end, the
terror-stricken looker-on saw the form
of the hanged culprit sitting erect in
his box. Whereupon, the negro, more
frightened than he, Commenced yelling
and shrieking in the most pitcotis man
ner. Shut up !” said one, “you will
have the people in Abilene after us,”
as the other doctor passionately struck
the negro with an iron bar used in pry- J
ing open the box. The other, gazing
at the new corpse attentively knelt down !
by his side, put his hand over his sknll,
now saturated with his life's current,
and in mild but emphatic words said :
u He s dead ! ’ Then ensued a moment
of such acting as, our informant tells
us, he never before witnessed. Anger,
ter. or, grief and remorse were followed
by an almost unnatural coolness as these
two quietly drew forth the resurrected

Quietly they proceeded with their origi
nal work, applying the plates of the
poles of their battery first over one c<»l- I
lar bone, then over the other, while the j
other Was placed apparently over the ,
stomach. While this was being done
by or e worker the other seemed to alter
nate the work by repressing the chest.
Assiduously these two silent men worked
on ; not a word spoken or scarce an ut- ,
terunce given, unless from the enliven
ing bulk that lay before them. Ever
and anou a movement of some part of
the body before them would attract at*
tentiofl. At last the first worker, taking 1
a vial from his pocket, poured a few
drops in the mouth of the J
He seemed satisfied, for he stopped his
Work, and putting his hand on his heart,
remarked, “it heats naturally.” A few
moments longer and another application
from the bottle, and the subject spoke
audibly, and in reply to the qucsUohfl,
gave a full account of the occurrences
during what were supposed to be his j
last moments. Hanging, he said, was
rather pleasant than otherwise, for after !
the first spasmodic struggle for breath, |
a delightful tickling sensation followed
his veins to the tips of his limbs. Con- (
sciousness seemed to lose itself very
gradually, and for a time, tt portion of
the brain seemed to retain its vitality.
The happiest moment of a lifetime was
centred in a dream at that instant.—
Feeling and all thoughts of the occur
rences about him, went with his effort
for breath, and at last darkness clouded
the remainder of his mind. From that
moment until he found himself in the
hands of science, he knew nothing. —
Our informant, for lack ot time, prom
ises further developments for our next j
week’s issue; meanwhile the attention
of the authorities will be called to these
facts.
