of Isaac Green, colored, who had been
put in Jail Saturday morning, charged
with entering the sleeping department
of Miss Elvira Moore in the night
time, was found, by the citizens of
WinpsborOugb, suspended to q tree
about 200 yards from the Jail. In the
absence of the Coroner, Justice Burn
summoned a jury, who, after viewing
the body, took it down and placed it
in charge of friends of deceased by
whom it was buried that evening. On
Monday morning the inquest was held.
Several persons were examined, but no
clue whatever was found as to who
committed the hanging. There were
two other cOlored men confined in the
Jail at the time Green was taken out,
who testified that at about IL O'Clock
Saturday night a mob OF some 10 or
20 men came to the Jail. Three of the
party came up the steps, broke open
the door and took Green out and Sc
cured the door on the prisoners inside.

have been that attempted by Green,
yet we cannot but regret that the law
was not allowed to have taken its
course.-Franklin Sun, 24th.
