ATLANTA, November 20, 1873.
Milton Malone, the murderer of young Frank Phillips, who was to have been hanged to-day, took morphine in his cell at midnight last night. A physician was promptly called, but Malone violently resisted all efforts to induce him to take medicine, and soon became insensible, and at eleven clock to-day - an hour before the time of his execution - he died.
He left a note addressed to the jailor, boasting of how badly fooled Judge Hopkins and his blood-sucking clan would be, and stating that he had worn the poison around his neck for weeks.
He wrote a letter on the 24th of November, stating that he did not believe in the Bible nor in hell.
He died, as he had lived, defiant, unrelenting and bitter.
