Strange Pets Among Execution Inmates Stirs Curiosity
Susan Eberhart awaiting execution in Preston kept fourteen pet rats in her cell after a visitor learned of her unusual animals. The rats climbed on her and appeared calm, offering comfort during the final hours. The Macon Telegraph notes the odd bond and lowly solace of pets for a doomed woman. Five indicted from a group of Macon intimators include Dr. A. P. Collins and L. P. Askew among others. In Dixon Illinois a river bridge collapse during baptisms sent two hundred worshippers into the water, with at least ninety killed.
