BRISTOL, Tenn, June Special
The whole city is intensely excited over
lynching that occurred here at /
o'clock this morning. AS has been
stated in the press, horrible outrage
was committed on the person of Mrs
John Warren, respectable white lady,
last Sunday morning about o'clock.
Officers and detectives worked dill
gently, trying with all thoir power to ap-
prehend the guilty wretch. Tuesday
night Bob Clark, q colored boy twenty
years old, was arrested on suspicion
yesterday, and to-day his trial came off
before Mayor RAIDER. Of Bristol, Va.
The evidence was very damaging. lie
was bound over to court this morning,
and was sent back to Jail. The great
crowd that attended tho trial had no
idea Of dispensing, and soon the news
spread all over the city that Clark
would be lynched before noon.
In an hour hundreds of people of all
colors, ages and races had gathered
around the Jail. Many prominent me n
of the city made speeches, loud and
long, begging the excited and on ragged
people to dispersc and let the law take
It's course, but they were Kissed down
as soon as they appeared.
At last one man obtained an axe and
told the crowd to follow. The door Of
the jail was crashed open and stream
of angry men filled the Jail. The negro
was brought out, amid shouts and
cheers. by this time over three thou
sand mon had assembled and as soon as
the leaders started to the woods it
seemed as if the whole population of
Bristol was in pursuit.
The excited crowd carried Clark to
Llndsey's Grove, a mile from town, and
strung him to the limb of the nearest
tree. Ills body fell time or two. but
was finally secured. 1t hung in midair
four hours, when it was cut down by the
coroner's jury.
