TORTURED TO DEATH.
A Horrible Case Of Lynching In Oh

|
lished at MiIlerstown, Ohio, gives the
particulars of lynchiag at Rogersville,
which is horrible in its details. 1t ap
pears that about two weeks ago that
paper gave an account of the escape of a
man named JEFF. Davis from the Woos-
ter Jail, where he had been confined for
some offence. 1t appears, too, that this
man calling himself jeff. Davis was ar
rested, convicted and sentenced three
years to the Penitentisry from this coun-
ty, about FIVE years ago, cor an attempt
ed rape on the person Of married NO.
man, near the town of Rogersville. He
served his term and returned to the same
locality, making only short stay.
Since the time of his escape from the
Wooster Jail nothing had been heard OF
him till Monday, when word was brought
to Millersburg that he had been at his
old tricks in Iuscarawas county. 1t
seems that one day last week, hs had
gone to the house of come man, few
mics from Rogersville. and, finding no
at home except two little girls, tied the
younger one and outraged the person of
the older sister. about nine years of age
When the father of the girls returned
home, and found out the situation of
affairs, he, in company with neighbors,
started after the wretch, and on Satur-
day about noon, or little after, found
him short distance south of Newcom-
erstown in bed at the house of some one
whose name we did not learn, pretending
to be sick. They brought him back to |!
Rogersville, and intended to try him be
fore Justice of the Peace. He was
first taken to the school house, where the
trial was to be held.
While arranging preliminaries, and
waiting for witnesses 10 arrive, sonic one.
whose wife JEFF Davis had insulted some
time ago, asked him why be had gone to
bis house and insuI.ed his wife in the
manner he did. JEFF. Davis answered
that it was none of his business that he
would 60 where he pleased and do as he
pleased. The man knocked him down
immediately, and some other one struck
him with poker, aud in a moment all
vas in confusion and darkness, the light
having been put out.
The criminal managed to creep under
he seats, aud get away from them, so
.hat they had to light up again in order
% find him. When they did, they drag
,ed him out into the street, and while do
ng so three shots were fired at him, some
If which hit him. They then took him
outside the town, and lung him up to a
tree and put four more shots into his
body. He was left hanging there, but
some one during the night had taken him
iown and hauled lis body abou. half
nile and threw it over into Holmes coun-
y, where the body was found on Mon
lay morning.
While taking him to the tree be was

by huge panther. Her companions
hearing the beast scream, sought safety

kept as cool as she could under the rather
trying circumstances, and while the mon
ster tore at her arms and clothing she
busily pounded its head with her club

her face and person badly scratched, but

account of herself. The panther was
six feet and ten inches long.
