A Murderer Lynched.
CHATTANOOGA, Sept. CHARLES Will
Jams, 9 disreputable negro, shot and in
stsntly killed a street-car driver named
Mitchell at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
An hour before Williams had been elected
from the car for entering it in a drunken
manner and smoking in the presence of
ladies. When asked for his fare he re-
fused to deposi; it. Williams swore be
would have revenge, and he followed the
car. While the driver was waiting on q
switch Williams walked up and shot him
three times, sad then shot twice at his
body while in the throes Of death. a
crowd of citizens pursued him. aud he was
captured q mile from the tow and carried
to jail. Mitchell was recently Assistant
Chief of Police and very popular. Intense
excitement prevails. and the Jail is closely
guarded. The Sheriff has taken every
precaution TO prevent a hanging. A large
force of men are keeping guard at the jail,
and local military companies will be called
upon il it Is necessary to preserve peace.
The murder was the most brutal and I'M
provoked that has ever occurred in this
city.
LATKR-A mob OF determined men,
mostly composed Of factory laborers ami
railroad men, armed with ~sbotguns and all
other kinds Of firearms. marched about IL
o'clock TO the County Jail, followed by
several hundred people, and at once began
demanding sdmittance TO the Jail. II
soon appeared that nothing would deter
them, and that shooting into the crowd by
the Sheriff and his posse would certainly
result in the killing Of q large number of
people. So nothing was done TO prevent
IN entrance, and the front door was broken
in. The Sheriff would not give up the
keys, and as the Jail ia q strong
building, inside Of which is Q COM
plete sheet of hslf-inch boiler iron,
the mob had . hard time trying TO effee.
an entrance. For an hour they had been
bsttering at the iron doors. At midnigh;
the repor. Of Q pistol caused 3 fusilade
from . Der OF shotguns and rifles, and
il is reported that q white man and a
negro have been shot, but how seriously
cannot be learned. Il will take some time
for the mob 30 get at the prisoners, but he
will be hanged before daylight. The mob
is in the best Of spirits and orderly. They
even stated 10 the military that if they
would show their authority from the Gov
ernor, which they had not. they would dis
perse.
Lateral an early hour this morning
the negro was hung to q rafter in the jail
in q most thorough and systematic man.
ner. he was taken from his cell and
carried up stairs, when his hands and feet
were securely tied. A block was tied to his
feet. The lynchers lifting him up dropped
him. He ~strangled TO death in three min.
utes. Not q shot was fired by the militia,
and all is now quiet.
