Last Words Of Black Would.
Be Ravisher.
KANSAS Has SOME MORE MOB LAW.

The Victim Swung or from a Telegraph
Pole Hoping His Sou! Would Go to
HeII-Story the Crime for Which He
Paid the Penalty - Young Girl's
Heroic and Successful Struggle with a
Bestial villain.
LARNEp. Kas., Sept. 15-"I hope my
soul will go to hell" With those terrible
words upon his lips Hugh Henry, alias
John Brock, was swung from the arm of a
telegraph pole at l o'clock yesterday
morning by mob for the attempted rape of
of Miss Mabel Welch. formerly of Denver.
Henry. who is colored man, had been
gambling and drinking and lost all his
money Monday night, and he said he went
out to look for pl ace to sleep. Accord
ing to his story, the window opening into
Miss WEIGHS room was open and he
climbed in. This was about $3.50 O'Clock
Tuesday morning when the streets were
wholly deserted.
Had a Knife in His Teeth.
The first intimation that Mabel WEIGH
had of the villains presence was when she
was awakened by feeling cold hand on
her leg She thought it was a snake, and
in horror sought to brush it from her per
son. What was her terror when she. dis
covered that a negro stood beside her bed.
She kept her presence of mind, however.
and grasping the negro about the head she
discovered that he held knife in his
teeth, and she made a desperate effort to
get it in her possession. In the attempt
her hands were cut in frightful manner,
and she was soon compelled to give up the
unequal contest.
Brave and Successful Fight.
With the knife in an uplifted hand and
the other hand at her throat her aSsailant
declared if she made an outcry he would
kill her. Miss WEIGH fought desperately
and prevented the negro from accomplish
ing his purpose. Henry, however, re-
manned in the room until dawn and made
his escape through the window. As soon
as the affair became known posse of de-
termined men started in pursuit About
noon Tuesday Henry was found asleep
near the old Lawrence bridge, twelve
miles west of Larned.
Confessed and Then Protested.
He was awakened by his pursuers, and
upon being confronted with his crime and
the evidence confessed his guilt. He was
brought back to Larned and given into
custody of Sheriff Thorpe, who placed him
in Jail At midnight fifty men marched
to the Jail and battered down the door.
The door of his cell was forced open, and
then commenced a series of blood-curdlinS
wells from the negro, who protested that
they were about TO hang an innocent man.
Grew Desperate at the Last.
As the mob moved to the scene of the
the rape he walled and moaned and
heaped imprecations upon his execution
ers, but without avail. Finally. when he
saw there was no hope, he acknowledged
his guilt, defied his captors and said he
hoped his soul would go to hell. A rope
had already been placed around his neck
with the other end swinging over a tele-
graph pole, and as the negro utteredJ the
bla sphemous speech he was swung up
