MOB law came very near hanging
two innocent people, few miles east
of Eldorado, last week. A child was
left in care of hired woman. When
the parents returned the child was miss
ing. The woman said it had followed
one of the men to the field. Search
was made and the child not being found,
the woman was accused with making
away with it, which she denied. She
was taken by a mob and strung up to
make her confess After the string
ing up process had been gone through
with several times she said she had
killed the child, and her husband had
thrown it in the creek. The husband
was then almost killed to make him
confess, but he persisted in denying any
knowledge of the child. Both man and
woman were nearly killed. In course of
time the child was found, alive and we'll.
