William Heai'd. Louisiana, received a letter from the proprietor of his town newspaper stating that his subscription would expire on March 8. He replied: “I regret to inform you that I shall expire on March 7. If you read your newspaper closely, as I know you will, you will know that I am to be hanged for murder on that date. In view of the fact that I do not know my future address, 1 am afraid that our pleasant relations —like those between rny head and my body, must be severed.”
