“As dark as the 'day when old Jen
nle was hung” Is one of the many
quaint sayings that for generations ha:
been used on the lower eastern shore
of Maryland, but from the account:
that have been given by those whe
lived In old Jennie’s day there neve:
has been a day since that time as dart
as the day on which she was executed
for wholesale murder In the neighbor
hood in which she lived.
The old murderess was publicly
hanged in 1815 In the old jail yard at
Princess Anne, and all those who re
membered that particular day hav<
passed into the great beyond long ago
The murderess was a white woman
tall and angular, and It was said thal
she resembled what was popularly
supposed to be a witch far more that
she did the up to date woman of thal
day. In fact, local history records thal
she practiced witchcraft. No one eve:
knew where she came from, she hav
lng “dropped down” very mysteriously
into the neighborhood, where she killec
a family of four.
Old Jennie was not hanged on a scaf
fold, in those days murderers were
executed with as little trouble and ex
pense as possible. The wizen faced
terror of all Somerset was placed It
a cart drawn by two oxen and placed
directly under a stout limb of an old
oak tree which stood In the Jail yard
The rope was fixed in rude fashlor
around her neck, amid the hurrahs ol
the crowd and the curses of tht
doomed woman, and when all was In
readiness a bunch of fodder was
placed ten paces from the oxen’s heads
and they were given the word to start
Obeying the command, they made a
bee line for the fodder and left old
Jennie dangling at the end of the rope
That day, it has been told thousands
of times, was the darkest ever known
In this section. Chickens remained on
their roosts throughout the entire day.
while candles by the score burned in
the bouses that the servants might see
to do their work. The local scientists
of that day were at a loss to account
for the strange phenomenon, and the
graphic descriptions which they gave
of it and which were recorded years
ago make Interesting reading.
The darkles and superstitious whites
of those days naturally thought that
the end of time had come. A great
many negroes declare today that the
ghost of old Jennie may be seen stalk
ing around on the edge of the woods
near where she committed her crimes
any time on a dark, cloudy night and
they are very careful not to encounter
her.—Oriole (Md.) Cor. Chicago Inter
