A FiEND BURNED ALIVE.
aSvfal Work-An Indignant Governor

negro named Henry Smith on the
afternoon Of the 26th ult. picked up
little child, named Myrtle Vance. aged
81 years, near the house OF her father, at |
Paris, Texas. and carrying her to field
first viciously assaulted the innocent babe
and then deliberately took one little
limb in each hand and literally tore her
10 twain The child's remains we're found
next day, and the news of the atrocious
crime aroused the whole city. The rail
roads put up bulletins offering free trans
portation to all who would join in the
search for the monster who committed
the deed. Next day he was captured
at station on the railroad in Arkansas
and fully identified. When the train
with the prisoner arrived in Paris it was
met by crowd of 10000 persons. The
negro was placed upon wagon and fol-
lowed by the immense crowd, was driven
through the city so that all might see
him. When the procession marched
through the streets it halted 10 an open
field near the Texas & Pacific depot and
Smith was placed upon scaffold, within
view Of all beholders, He was tortured
for fifty minutes by red.hot brands thrust
against his bare body. Commencing at
his feet the brands were placed against
him inch by inch until they were thrust
against his face. The child's father, her
brother and two unclea thrust the hot
irons into his quivering flesh. Every
grosn from the wretch was cheered by
the maddened crowd After rolling the
hot irons up and down his back, stomach
and arms, his eyes we're burned out and
the irons thrust down his throat. The
men Of the Vance family having wrsaked
their vengeance, the crowd piled all
kinds of combustible stuff around the
scaffold, poured coal oil on it and set il
on FIRE. In few moments the tortured
wre IN was burned to a crisp.
1t is stated that Smiths reason for the
diabolical deed was that when drunk and
disorderly he was arrested by Policeman
Vance, who was compelled to use club
on him, and for this the negro swors ven
geance.
When the news Of the burning wen,
over that section of country, at every
town anvils doomed forth the announce
msnt.
Governor Hogg wired the official
to protect Smith from mob violence, ant
after hearing of the negroes fate tele
graphed to take the names of the partie
principally concerned in the affair HI
declares that the law would have deal
swiftly with Smith, and that all the per
sons implicated must be arrested an,
prosecuted, be their number ten or tsl
thousand.
