it would not be at all remarkable
if meetings were beld all over the

of eliminating the negro element

They found him il a grocery

no resistance to arrest, but
begged earnestly for his life,
believing that he was to meet
his death there. His captors
brought him down to Bellevue,
where he was lodged i'm Jail, on
Saturday evening.

deliberately unlocked the Jail,
took out Minis and went off
with him. His body, on Mon
