BURIED ALIVE.

A NATIVE EXECUTED IN THE
HEART OF AFRICA.

 

 

Murder of & King‘s Favorite—Ab-
rest and Conviction of His
Supposed Murderer—Buried
Alive and then Impaled.

 

A letter from Africa. to the. St. Louis
Gldfie-Dcmimit, describes Bishop Taylor‘s
journey to the Congo Free State. The
correspondent says: A few miles out of
Lukunga the bishop saw one of the
strangest occurrences that had yet trims-
pired in his presence in Africa. As he
and his party were descending :i mount-tin
they saw that there was a village below
them. :1 market place surrounded with a
large number of houses. It seemed as if
all the village icopie and many others
from the surrounding country had grill»
erediu the market place. The bishop's
lilst impression was that some kind of :1
fair or general trading was in progress.
but. as he came neiircr he saw that the
event “15 not coinmcrcinl. From his
elcvatcd point of \'ll‘\\' he could scc that
several natives were at work digging
holes in the centre of the .lltrtl‘kt‘t place.
The attention of thc crowd seemed to be
divided between the liolu and something
else that neither the bishop nor his mum
pnnions‘ coulil distinguish. The native
carrier siiid that it looked as if there was
to be icpublic execution. whereupon .\lr.

An cvcsution it proved to be. however,
but without it sciillold. The bishop and
his party :u‘rivcd tit the market place just
us the tragedy was consummated. 'l‘hcy
leiu'ned tlicstui'y of the crimc that led to
it. \xliEi-li bricll)‘ Was the following:

arrival ii iiiiui died in thc villzi-ge. and. its
is frequently tlic ciisc. the medicine man
had bccn sitiiuuoncd to declare what or
Tillllt‘l‘ who had been the noise of it.
The doctor. :ittcr thc usual dciuonstrm
lions, oraculiir uttcriuices. frcnric l danc-
iiu: :iml oiliri‘ touit‘oulpi‘y. had find tho
rcspmisibility for the dculh upon it cups
min of the tribe. 'l‘hctruih undoubtcdly
was that the captain had done something
to otlciid the doctor. who took this way

of getting' own. The cuitnin was
brought bcfi'irc the king inn \‘ll'll'gt‘ll
\vith thc crime of bewitchini: the

dcccziscd. He deuic~l the charge null
was then ordered to drink in cup of ten
made from the sassnood Ilt“‘. It is :
deadly poisonous mixture. The nicdi~
cine nieu tcll the King thzit ilii nun who
is guilty drinks of it he will div. but nu
innocent iniiu \\ ill not be lmrined. Who.
ever drinks. of course. dies inimedintclv
in terrible agony. and the prestige of the
(lOvlut‘ is licightcncd accordingly. The
captain in this instance refused to drink
thc but. He Was scut away from the
King's presence for in day or two pend-
itu: furthcr consideration of thc ciisc. but
that very night he was shot by an un-
known man in his house. After six days
of sutlcring the captain dicd. His
friends bcsought the repn‘scntiitivc of
the Free State tiovcruiiicut to interfere.
but he hesitated. He was new to his
position and «lured not take very dccidml
measures. So the king of the tribe bc-
stirrcd himself. Thu dcud uiptuin had
bcczi a finoritc (if his. and thc accusa-

tion of the doctor had disturbed his
Mujcsty. Now that the captain hmd

bccu niurilcrcd lie determined to punish
the criminal. A man was iirrcsted and
tried for the crime and found guilty.
He was. of course. condemned to death;
\thn the bishop arrived the hole in the
market-plow had been completisl. It
Win somewhat largc and dccpcr than an
ordinary gravc. The object that hid
attracted the intention of part of the
crowd was the condemned man himself.
He sat on the ground with his hiindsticd
lit-hind his back. chcti feet in front of
him was a young: tree that had becn bent
toward him. The top of the tncc liud
been cut uwuy so that a fork inadeby the
two main branches wnuincd on the
slender trunk. The condcinncd man‘s
neck wusput in this fork and the ends of
thc lines was mudc fast behind his head.
The tension of tlic trcc kept a constant
strain on his throat. not enough to be
painful and to pnxvcnt him from timking
any motion. llc had bccn .s ting; thus
for hours watching the preparations lo:
his c\ccutiou and enduring.' the gaze of
hundreds of the villagcts. Not far away
the King. dressed in ii gorgeously colon-.1
robe. snt superintcnditig the operations.
The work progrcsscd in due omit-r. but
without the ccn-uioninus soh-xnnity that
charactcrizes an cxccution in (‘hristiiin
countries. The King gave his! instruc—
tions \\ hcn he clmsc to iiitcrfcrc to a sub-
ordinate who transferred them to the
captain in charge of the workers at the
hole. \thn the diggcm climbed out
and laid aside thcir shovels there was it
slight pause and the crowd gathered
closer to the excavation. Presently the
King littered :1 command in it loud voice
and sevcml subordinates actually began
the work of cxccution. They first cut
off the tree in front of the captive‘s neck.
leaving tlic prongs of the fork stillticil
nbout him. He was led to the hole and
ordered into it. l'p to this time he had
preserved a stoicnl expression. but at that
moment be weakened and trembled. He
cnst a pitcous glance toward the King
and looked all around him wildly. One
of the executioncrs hastened matters by
ushiug him into the hole. He fell in a
cap on the bottom and three men went.
in after him. They placed him on his
feet, and while one held him steady the
others began to pack dirt. about his feet.
The victim writhcd and serenined ter-
ribly as the work proceeded and a.
gag was inserted into his mouth to mill
his cries. The people, with morbid cu~
riosity, crowded to the edge of the hole.
even to the point of interfering with the
workmen, and a squad of warriors in ar-
mour drove them back. The men in the
hole stamped the earth hard all about
the victim until it was up to his waist.
They then got out and the filling in con-
firmed more rapidly and others helped in
the stain ing. The hole was originally
so deep t. mt the victim‘s head was more
than a foot below the surface. “'hen
his mouth was reached care was taken
not to fill it around him until the rest of
the hole had been leveled over. Then a
few shovelsful thrown upon the head ef-
fectually buried the poor fellow, but the
workmen were still cautious to note ex-
actly where the bend was. After all the

 

, dirt- had been thrown back and the bu~

rial had been completed the reason for
their caution became apparent. A work-
man came forward with a long hard-
wood pole, sharpened and tipped with
iron at one end. This wus inserted into
the and dimctly over the victim‘s
head. A movable platform was produced
and men standing on it began to pound
the pole down into the ground. The
horrible object of this was to musfix

body. The pounding was continued
with mllets until the entire length of
the pole had beeh driven into tho ground.
Then the implement: flat had been uni
