TELEGRAMS TO PARSONS.
A couple of cheering missives received this morning.
Following are copies of the two dispatches received by A. R. Parsons a short time before his execution this morning:
“BOSTON, Nov. 11.—Albert R. Parsons, Cook County Jail: Not good-by, but hail brothers. From the gallows-trap the march will be taken up. I will listen for the beating of the drum.
JOSEPHINE TILTON.”
“ST. LOUIS, Mo., Nov. 11.—Albert R. Parsons, Prisoner: Glorious martyr, in the name of social progress bravely meet your fate.
C. R. DAVIS.”
To the sender of the first telegram Parsons desired that his red-silk handkerchief be sent.
