A VIRGINIA ATRoCITY-Disg Men Rdng
q woman TO Sdpting.-A telegram to the
New York Herald from Richmond, March g.
gives the details of the unprecedented horror
of the summary execution of a woman by
lynch law. The atrOciouS deed was perpetra-
ted in the eastern portion of Rockingham Co.
on Wednesday night, and not far from the
scene OF the celebrated Lawson murder. 1t
appears that on Tuesday last a negro boy
named Jim Arbegast was committed to the
jail OF Rockingham county upon the charge of
having burned the barn of Henry L. Sipe on
Thursday, the 18th ult. Subsequent inveStiga-
lon disclosed the fact that the incendiary
torch was applied at the inStigatiOn andby the
lDducement OF colOred woman named Char
lOtte Harris, who is said to have had some
grudge against the Sipe family. A warrant
was procured for the arrest of the woman,
and ON "Wednesday evening last n. III. and j.
Nj. Talb and John Sise, who had gone i'm pur-
suit OF Charlotte Harris, arrested her and re.
turned with her in custody. The evidence be
ing very strong AGAINST the accused, her com
mitment to jail was ordered. Over one hum
dred persons were present at the examination
during which the excitement was intense At
the conclusion OF the examination, the hour
being late, the woman was placed under
strong guard, to keep her safe and secure un-
til the following morning, when she was to be
taken to the county Jail at HarrisOnburg This
guard was composed of four persons. The ut
most quiet prevailed until the hour of IL pm,
when there was a rush of armed men, ali
blackened, into the building. They seized the
woman Charlotte Harris, and at once dragged
her outside and up the road towards David
Gllmore,S, a distance of about four hundred
yards. Here a peculiar sort of tree known as
and rope attached thereto. The tree was
held in its bent position until the other end of
the rope was fastened to the unfortunate wO-
mans neck. In another instant the tree was
let 60, and the victim was jerked into midair
where in few moments she expired, and the
disguised lynchers dispersed.
