Two slaves hanged Burlington, NJ, June pik TOO.
"we have from Burlington a most melancholy account of the death
of a boy five years old last week who hanged himself on the
stake of a fence with a rope he had been playing with in the
yard, He was first discovered by means of the crying of a
younger child: ' Brother won' t speak to me," Tis thought
that the abundance of discourse he had heard of the late
execution of negroes for piosoning, had filled his mind and
put him on immitating what he hd heard was done, not knowing
the danger. ,t is said that he dreamt much of that execution the
night before and telling his dream in tne monmning added: And
I shall die today,* which was not then regarded."
