Middle Ga. Argus – Week of October 13, 1891
Everything is now ready for the hanging of Sam Greer next Friday.  For several 
days Mr. Tom Bryan has been working on the gallows and it is now complete and 
ready to do the ghastly work.  The place of the execution has not yet been made 
public and will not be till Friday Morning.  Mr. Beauchamp will have a guard of 
one hundred men to assist him in keeping order if such a thing is found 
necessary.   There is no apprehension of any disturbance, however, but if 
needed they will be ready, armed with Winchester rifles.  Thousands of people 
will be here on that day to witness the hanging.
