HALL HUNG, AS IS SUPPOSED BY SAM GHOLSON & BILL MORRIS

This fellow Hall came in hereseems like he was catching deserters, he had gotten Sam and had taken him to Lampasas, and there was lots of talk about hanging Sam and this fellow Hall was taking lots of stock in it.  Any how Sam went to the army and he was home after that on a furlough and came through Williamson County or some of them counties down there where Hall lived and worked as a black smith and to get even with him for the Lampasas trouble took Hall out and hung him. They hung him up first but did not get him high enough and he wore out his boot heels kicking, but they got him alright.

told me by Geo. White      Jan 6th 1932
