gro who outraged and murdered Margaret Lear near here
last week, was legally executed in the parish jail today

Coleman last Saturday. Governor Blanchard arrived here

warrant. All preparations had previously been made for
the hanging. Coleman confessed the murder of Miss Lear |
before he met his death, and also admitted having killed
a negro at Cypress Press, La,, two years ago. The hour
of the execution was kept secret and announcement was onl}
made when it was over. Military and police kept curious
crowds-away from the jail until Coleman had paid the

law's forfeit." JOURNAL, Atlanta, GA, 3-1-1906 (ll-5,)
