The night was cloudy, threatening 'rain and intensely dark, it being almost impossible to have distinguished persons even without masks. Lewis Houston, who was probably not more than twenty years of age, met his fate almost stolidly, and showed no sign of agitation, unless his sing-song prayer may be regarded as evidence of excitement.

About 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon the Agi reporter visited the jail and saw Houston, and questioned him concerning the charges against him.
