eight of lest week, hue expiated hia ter-
rible crime.
Hia wee perhaps the most horrible
death ever inflicted upon a human be-
■fy Ing. Those who witnessed it will never
forget the scene in all its indescribable
horrors. No language can correctly de-
scribe the fearfnl retribution vuited
upon the monster who committed a
crime that has no parallel in history.
When the train pnlled up at the
Texas and Pacific depot from 15,000 to
80,000 people were there to take charge
of him, and every preparation had been
• made to receive him. ■'
As the crowd surrounded the
train Hon. H. B. Birmingham
of this city, who • was with
tne eacort, made a brief address in
which he said that twenty-five citiaens
had charge of Henry Smith and as
merely citiaens wished to surrender the
prisoner and believe yoa will do what is
right We oaunot if we would resist
i the thousands assembled here.
Smith was then taken to a wagon and
placed in a chair on top of a box and
firmly lashed to it He was then driven
to the public square and around it and
through the principal streets and then
to an open field near the Texas and Pa-
cific depot.
Here a scaffold ten feet high had been
erected. Around this there was a surg-
ing mass of humanity for nearly 100
yards in every direction.
A cold, drizxiug rain was falling that
froae ns it fell. The cowering, shiver-
ing wretch, whoso face was a picture of
agony and terror, was taken from the
wagon and forced up the steps, where
he was pinioned to a stake.
His cost and shirt were torn off him
piece by piece and thrown among the
crowd, where they were eagerly seised
as relics.
When stripped to the waist Henry
Vance, the father of Smith’s victim, his
son and , two uncles of the child,
gathered around him.
They then began to thrust red hot
irons under his feet.
Every contortion of his body and
every groan thfit escaped bis lips
brought forlih shouts of approval. Vainly
he begged for mercy. Vainly he pro-
tested that he did not know that it was
Vance’s child.
The red hot irons bnrned into his
flesh deeper and deeper and he uttered
terrible cries. Cries that told of untold
suffering.
Finally the irons were rolled up and
down the stomach, back and arms.
The crowd gazed on the terrible scene
with a horrible fascination, as the slow
process of torture proceeded.
The climax was reached when the
irons were thrust into his eyes, burning
the balls away.
Then they were thrust into his throat,
and still he lived and writhed and suf-
fered.
When the relatives had glutted their
vengeance a great mass of combustible
material was placed under the scaffold,
oil was poured over Smith, the platform
and the fuel and the match applied.
For a time he wif enveloped in a
dense volume of smoke. As this passed
away and the flames shot upward Smith
was seen amid the fire, swaying hack
and forth.
In a little while he became still und
ell thought him dead. The fire burned
the ropes that bound him and he fell
upon the burning platform.
