Negro Hangs Self in County Jail Before Execution
In Louisburg on October 20 Thomas Upchurch, a condemned black man to be hanged next Wednesday, hanged himself with a wire in his jail cell. The grim scene included a bloody neck wound and a foul odor as the body was prepared for viewing by locals. Authorities report the gallows was already built and the death prevents a mob crowd and sheriff’s duties. A dispatch from Mexico note mentions health and American migration prospects, with quotes from Mr. Rowe and Rev. Fitzgerald regarding advising students.
