Some time since a man, woman and boy

wife, but it is now stated that the couple were
not legally united. The man worked for Vail
& DeVeire for a time, until one morning a
Sheriff officer called at the shop and inquired
for him, but he was not there. Mr.. DeVeire
said he would tell Haskin when he
came in, and the Sherih's officer
said, "No, don't say anything,
will call again" Later in the day Mr.. DeVeire
met Haskin and said, in iocular way, "The
Sheriff is after you; I think you'd better clear
out" and then he mentioned the call. Has
kin left soon after, and since that day has
not been seen or heard of. His pseudo wife,
Mrs. Haskin, as in courtesy she is termed,
fine fleshy woman Of good appearance, re-
manned here for time and after contracting a
bill at the Central which she forgot to dis
charge, she induced Mr.. Ed Stevens to en-
ploy her. She continued in his service for

with, Miss, special says that Sunday morning
Mrs. Christina Ambacher, worthy and re-
spected white woman, was found dead 10
feet from her back door, with her skull frac-
tured and two other wounds on the back of
her head. Suspicion pointed to negro named
Martin Jones, who had threatened the life Of
the husband of the murdered woman, and he
was promptly arrested. A search of his
dwelling revealed a bloody shirt, when he
confessed the cyime. He was placed in
charge of posse and started for the county
Jail at Mayorsville The posse had not pro-
ceeded more than a mile before they were
overpowered by a mob of infuriated citizens
who took the prisoner to the m ost convenient
tree and hanged him. The mob was princi-
pally composed of negroes, who were loudes
in their denunciation of the murder.

was taken to the city Jail. and upon being
