with rifles and fixed b~ayonets, but happily
was not deemed necessary to use them.
The Constables now charged the mob,
clubbing them right and left and succeeded
in dispensing them, but not before they
had wrecked the greater portion OF the
Courthouse windows, which are opposite
the City Hall. The mob broke up into
different bodies and proceeded to wreck the
windows of the Health Office and the win
dows of the offices of the Medical Health
Department, OF the Chairman of the
Finance Committee and of the public
v~accina;ors. A number OF arrests were
m.de. The city IL in a state OF great ex
element. 1t is thought the riots will be
continued tomorrow night. The police
will patrol around the public buildings all
night, while the military will tomorrow be
held in readiness to quickly put a stop to
such actions.
Four Negroes Lynched.
RALEIGH, N. c., Sept. 29.-Lsst night
four negroes, Jerry Finch, his wife, Lee
Tyson and John Pattishal, were lynched
one mile from Pittsboro. They were taken
from the Jail and their bodies found this
morning Suspended to o tree heal a public
road. This is a sequel to the triple murder
of the Finch family on the night of last
Fourth of July, and the murder OF the
Gunter family some 10 months ago. There
were two of the Finch family, Edward,
aged 70, and his sitter, aged 81. They
were found on the morning of the 5th OF
July, lying on the floor with their throats
cut. Near them lay their servant, a negro
boy aged 16. All had been knocked in the
head with an ak. Suspicion rested on the
negro, Jerry Finch. and he was arrested.
1t was q great task from the first to pre-
vent the lynching of these parties. Lee
Tyson was afterwsrd arres ted, and some
time later John Pattishal was taken on the
charge of being concerned in a murder,
and possibly in the Finch murder. The
verdict of the Coroner's Jury was long
delayed, they feeling that if it was adverse
to the prisoners they would be promptly
lynched. The verdict, when rendered,
was against the prisoners. A majority of
the people appear to be satisfied that these
people were guilty of both murders, for
the two were mysteriously connected.
