Indiana State sentinel. (Indianapolis, Ind.) 1861-1865, 1861-09-25


he cried out more or less, but there was so much
noise and fury that it was impossible to distin-
guish what be said, and he soon became perfectly
silent. On reaching the sidewalk. they started
off with him down Jackson street to Huron. Part
of the time they carried him along, he appeared
to be either unable or unwilling to walk, and a
part Of the time they made him walk, some OF
them showing him along, and helping him along
in one way and another. At the jail there had
been one or two pistol shots. and there were two
or three reports on the way afterwards Reach
ing Huron street. they stopped on the corner
awhile, and tried 10 get light from Warncke's
tavern, but he put out his lights hearing them
coming, and they passed on. Reaching the cor
ner of Milwaukee and Huron streets, near the
residence Of Darby Carney, we believe, they stop
ped again, and clomb up gas post, and lit the
street-amp, to satisfy themselves that they had a
right one. The negro had previously told them
that he was another person Satisfying them
selves, they started off again, going down to De-
troit street, and then turning and going to the
building of Engine Co. No. g. They took him
into the building little after o'clock Sunday
morning, few persons who had followed them
down also going inside with them. There were
| probably one hundred perscns inside, including
those up stairs where they had Clark, and those
down stairs in the engine room. Bringing him to
this place, they had carried and showed and lifted
him along. compelling him to walk all he could
or would himself. At the same time he had oeen
struck ana maltreated in various ways all along
the route.
In the engine house he was given trial asa
| they called it, and the negro here conversed some
insisting that they had got the wrong person. A.
F. Pratt talked with him considerably. but we did
not learn what Clark had to say to him. While
at the engine house, also, we believe Sheriff
Larkn tried to speak to the crowd. but they
would not listen to him. Having satisfied them
selves that the fellow was guilty they again started
off with him, dragging him from the engine
house by means of a rope which about the
back part of his neck and through his mouth,
They left the engine house at 2 "A. M, having
been in there nearly an hour, and the outside
crowd that had followed them down had mean
while mostly left. Going from the engine house
the crowd could not have numbered 100 or 200.
They dragged him down through East Water
street, over the pavement. and when between De-
troit and Buffalo streets, some one with piece
OF plank in his hand ran up to the negro from the
sidewalk and struck him with it over the head
several times. Reaching Ruffalo street they
turned towards Main, and halted at a large pile
driver standing In Buffalo street. little way from
East Water street. They stood Clark against
one of the posts of the piledriver, and he Slowly
put his arm around il, but said nothing as far as
could be heard. About this time some one struck
him on the head with his fist, and Clark fell over
between the timbers that rest upon the earth.
He was picked up. and one man took the rope
that was about his neck and went partly up the
ladder reaching to the top of the pile driver,
and slipped the rope over one of the rounds, de-
scended and hauled him up, and then tied the
rope.
As Clark was lifted from the earth he partially
raised his hands, as if to take hold Of the rope,
but man near him seized his arms and pulled
them down, and about 214 A. ". on the 9Th day
of September, in the year of our Lord, 1861, his
spirit was ushered into the presence of the AL
mighty, having taken its fight from his body
which hung there dangling from a Pallows to
which he had been lifted by twenty-five to fifty
human beings. There were, perhaps, one or two
hundred besides, who stood around and witnessed
the terrible spectacle
The crowd dispersed, and Clark hung there
halfan hour or so, when some policeman cut him
down and removed him to the dead d-house at the
police station. The inquest upon the body is set
down for this afternoon
Sunday, an inquest was held upon the body of
Darby Carney, and the verdict was that he came

Last evening there occurred one of those rare
incd nts in the progress of Prince Napoleon's
tour through he United States, which will not
soon be forgotten by illustrious visitor, albeit
the tender recollections thereof may not be of
long duration with one of the parties interested,
whose gray hairs will ere long be mostened by the
clammy dews of death.

And the old soldiers mind wandered back to that
terrible retreat from the burning capitol of the
Russians surrounded by the infexible rigors of
Russian winter, and harrassed day and night by
those furious onsets of Cossack cavalry-those
