Monday night about 9 o'clock
To-day is Sunday and we must do our work to-morrow night . I must get a meeting of the boys to-night . '' So saying , the two arose , left the house and parted , one going to gather up his gang and the other to search up and examine his dissecting appliances . Monday night about 9 o'clock a mob came and took Belton out into the neighboring woods . He was given five minutes to pray , at the expiration of which time he was to be hanged . Belton seemed to have foreseen the coming of the mob , but felt somehow that God was at work to deliver him . Therefore he made no resistance , having unshaken faith in God .
