A NEW YORK LYNCHING
Summary Execution of a Negro
Fiend at Port Jervis.
THE VILLAGE POLICE PowERLEss.

A Maddened Mob Takes Bob Lewis, who
Made an Assault Upon Miss McHIahon,
From the Jail, and Hangs Him to a
Tree-The Excitement intense.
PoRT JERvIs, N. Y, June 8.-Port
Jervis Is In a state Of the greatest ex-
element still over the lynohing last
night by an excited mob of a negro
named Bob Lewis, a porter of the Della
ware House, on account Of a brutal as
sault On Miss Lena Mcmahon.
The crime occurred on the outskirts Of
the village, near the banks Of Never
sink River, shortly after noon. 1t was
witnessed by a number of young girls,
who stood about fifty feet away, and
also by two young negroes, who would
have interfered In the girls behalf, but
they were kept at bay by a revolver.
After the outrage was perpetrated
Lewis fed, leaving his victim uncon-
scious and with injuries which will
prove fatal. A posse of men started in
pursuit and tracked him for several
miles along the highway as far as the
racecourse, where all trace of him was
lost.
The posse was determined, however,
and after much difficulty be was traced
to Cuddenbackville, a small village on
the Delaware and Hudson Canal about
nine miles from Port Jervis, where he
was captured by Sol Carley, Duke Har-
ton n a man named Coleman. The
fugitive had boarded a canal boat at
Huguenot and had reached Cuddenback-
vile when intercepted and taken.
On the way pack to Port Jervis Lewis
confessed the crime and implicated Will
liam Foley, a white man, who he claim
ed was in the conspiracy to ruin Miss
Mcmahon. Foley has been paying at
tention to the girl against the wishes of
her parents, and the feeling against
him is such tina should he be taken q
fate similar to that which has overtaken
Lewis would probably be melted out to
him.
News of the capture soon spread
through the town, and "a large crowd OF
excited men collected about the village
lookup, awaiting the arrival of the
prisoner. The words were quietly
whispered through the crowdi Lynch

police eudeavored to protect him, but
their efforts were ~unavailinG 1t was at
first proposed to have Lewis identified
by his victim before hanging him in or
der to make sure that he was the guilty
party. With this object IN view the
mob tied a rope around his body and
dragged him up Hammond and down
Main street as far as the residence of E
j. Fowler.
By this time the passions of the mob
bad reached a state of uncomfortable
excitement, and 1t was decided to dis
pose of him without further ceremony.
A moose was adjusted about his neck
and he was strung up TO u neighboring
tree in the presence of a bowling mob OF
over /, 900 people
For over an hour the body hung sus-
pended from the tree, where Ii wa,

Lewis is about 90 years Of age and
