SPENDS HIS TIME PRAYING.
Claud Brooks to Be Hanged for
Murder June 30.
No preparations have been made at the county jail for the execution of Claud Brooks, who is to be hanged June 30 for the murder of Sidney Herndon, owner of the Navarro flats, Twelfth and Baltimore. Brooks will not be put into the condemned men's cell until June 10. It is customary to grant men sentenced to execution an reprieve of sixty days, and this may be done in the case of Brooks.
The condemned man spends most of his time praying.
