inal court of record on Ed Braxton and
Alfred Wadkins. the two negroes who
pleaded guilty to robbing B. F. Lyons.
an aged white man, at the race track
Saturday morning. While pleading
guilty to getting the money, about $150.
both of the negroes denied that they
had assaulted 'Mr. Lyons, each claiming
that the other one did that part of it.
Under the circumstances, however, both
would be equally guilty.
In court yesterday Mr. Lyons, who
is about seventy years old but active
for his age, was a horrible sight. His
head and face were partly bound up
but the bandages did not cover all of
the wounds and bruises. His eyes and
throat were livid and there remained
the black and blue marks where he
had been hit on the side of the head
and face with a stick of wood. Mr.
Lyons stated that he was rendered un
conscious by the first blow and did not
know what happened to him after that,
but Solicitor Iianey believes, from the
marks, but one of the men continued
to beat Mr. Ions while the other one
choked him.
Solicitor Raney stated yesterday that
the assault and robbery was one of,the
most brutal that had ever come under
his notice and in passing sentence
Judge Gordon told the men that they
deserved to have some one beat their
brains out as they had attempted to do
to Mr. Lyons. One of the negroes.

old. Both were working at the track
and had ample opportunity to know
that Mr. Lyons, who owned several
horses, carried large sums of money

There are many carious methods of
inflicting capital punishment In the
various countries of the old world,
some of them tinged with the cruelty
of the dark' ages.

Tery long ago that Mulai flafid had
the Shereef Kittaln executed in this
horrible fashion.
The ameer of Afghanistan has pe
culiar methods of making the punish

own oven, and a man who had started
a scare that the Russians were ad
vancing on Kabul was placed on a
stool fastened on top of a tall pole
and kept there on sentry go till he died
of sleeplessness and exhaustion.
Political crimes are not uncommon
in Persia and the revolutionists, when
caught are dealt with summarily.
Four conspirators who were recently

n the crowded bazar at Teheran were
anged and quartered In the same

the seventeenth century. The re-
