In the meantime runners were sent lo all parts of Navarro county lo notify the people that Henderson had been brought to the scene of his crime and that, he would be exceii 1 i'il during the day. Thousands of people poured into the cily. until the streets were swarming. It was given out ilia! the negro would be burned alive.
