slowly rode 10 the Jail from the southeast
After riding around the courthouse he
turned rapidly in the direction from which
he came. About an hour afterwards about
three hundred masked men rode into
town. They hitched their horses, posted
guards TO warn away citizens, and
went TO tie east door Of the Jail,
where they soon found entrance by
breaking down doors with sledge-ham-
mers. They then quietly, but with great
determination, proceeded to break In the
iron doors leading to the corridors. This
took perhaps hall an hour. They were
after Jacob Melting, who so brlItally MUIR
dered Ada Atkinson some weeks ago. He
met them at the door Of the cell already
dressed and ready TO go to his doom. He
was quietly walked to carriage, in which
was rope. The only remark he made
was, $50 little slow, gentlemen; am
older than some OF you" He was taken
to Oxford and hung Immediately.
Melting after being placed in the carriage
was driven 10 spot within quarter OF 4
mile from the scene OF his crime. After
being removed from the vehicle he was
told that he must die. He was given five
minutes IN which to make confession, but
stolidly refused TO do so, saying as he had
already acknowledged committing the muir
der IL was unnecessary to repeat bis former
story. The rope was quickly thrown over
the limb OF large oak tree, and two men
stepped forward and placed the moose
around the old mans neck. In doing this
the collar he wore was torn, and another
attempt to make him recite the story OF
the murder was rewarded by sheer from
the defiant man. Fifty men then grasped
the rope, aud in moment the body was
swinging in the air. After Melting bad
been pronounced dead the crowd quietly
dispersed.
