negro committed to Jail here yeste, day, for a
felonious assault on Mrs. Lancaster, . highly
respectable lady living near Glenn Springs,
last Friday, was taken from prison this AFTER
noon by crowd Of citizens without disguises.
and carried to grove on Main street, about
half mile from tho Courthouse, and hanged
to tue limb Of tree. lie was about twenty
years old and Of brutal passions. He assaulted
q negro woman last week, but she being very
strong resisted him. He also attacked = white
womsn on Friday, who escaped him. This was
before he came across his unfortunate victim.
Mrs. Lancaster is highly esteemed woman,
the mother Of two children, and about to be-
come a mother again. While in Jail Thomson
confessed to the crime. and when they carried
him out to the grove he was asked il he had
anything to soy. Eyes; did the deed. / do

The offence for which Abe Thomson was
