which contained nothing of special inter-
est. Scoville then addressed the jury at
length. Much that he said
has already been introduced in the evil
dence. His main point for the jury to
consider was whether the prisoner killed
the President and whether at that time he
was mentally responsible.
The authorities now think that Jones is
not the man who did the shooting.
Lynch Law i'm Force.
sMENoMINEE wis.,, Nov. 21.-At a
quarter past 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon
Ed. Maxwell, alias Williams, was hanged
in the Courthouse yard at DuraEd. His
examination was to have taken place in
the forenoon, but was postponed until
afternoon. The fact that he was not at
once ent back to Menominee gave rise to
the suspicion that q movement was to be
made to take him away from the officers.
From noon until 2 P. M. the people from
the surrounding country came into Du-
in squads, and at 2 P. M, the Court
house yard and the Courtroom were
thronged with men and women. The
prisoner made a statement, confessing the
shooting of the Coleman brothers and
what he claimed to be the facts connected
with the affair; that he did the shooting
in self-defense. Immediately thereafter q
rope was thrown about his neck. He
made q feeble but momentary effort to
release himself, but was instantly jerked
down, then dragged through the aisle,
down the stairway to the ground and then
dragged to q tree a few yards distant.
The rope was thrown over a limb, and Ed.
Maxwell was left swinging between heaven
and earth. 1t seems that lynching was
preconcerted. and II not participated in
by the masses it had their tacit con-
sent. The widows of Charles Coleman
and Henry Coleman and Maxwell's wife
were present and witnessed the taking OF
Maxwell from the custody Of the law.
When the Times correspondent left Du-
rand the body was still hanging. So rapid
we're the movements Of the v~igilAntes that
death from strangulation ensued before
they reached the tree. There is intense
excitement at Durand, and even those who
do not approve of the summary method
by which Maxwell was executed do not
give expression TO their d~isapproval.
