A Negro Lyached and Hung.

A few weeks ago, a negro man, Arthur
Jordan, who is married and has two
children, and who had been in the en-
ploy of Mr.. Nathan Corder, of Upper
Fauquier, near Markham Station, ran
off with good.looking, half witted
daughter of Mr.. Corder, aged about II
years, whom he had before ruined, and
went with her to Maryland.
On Wednesday week, party of half
a dozen men from the neighborhood
where the parents lived went in search
of the parties, and found them near Will
Transport in Maryland. The girl was
taken to Taylor's Hotel in that place,
and placed under the care of the pro-
prietor until her family could be noti-
fed, and the negro man was brought
back to be confined in the Fauquier Jail.
The party with the negro in charge
passed through Winchester on Thurs
day week. The Winchester Nes0s says
1.-THE party of five persons and the ne
gro, all on horseback, were proceeding
through Loudoun street, when in front
of Robinson's hardware store the negro
refused to go any farther, and stated that
be desired to see lawyer. His captors
tried to urge him in vain, when Consta-
BILE Smith and Policeman Brown, at
tracted by the affair. arrested the whole
party, negro and all, and carried them
before Justice Crebs. Here warrant
was sworn out in form, aud one of the
party being a constable. the negro was
delivered into his custody to be returned
to Fauquier."
He was taken to Warrenton and con-
fined in the Jail of Fauquier county, or
Friday night week, but large body
of disguised men forced their way int
the Jail about o'clock on the morning
of Monday of last week, and took thu
prisoner, Arthur Jordan, and hung him
on tree near the cemetery about half
mile from Warrenton. The verdict Of
the jury of inquest was, in effect, that
the victim came to bis death by stran
gulation at the hands of from 40 to 81
men unknown to the jury,
