Hung to a Telegraph Pole.

Inc jail OF Suelpy couutS' "itAtu 'ho
city limits of Memphis, was broken into
By several hundred men at midnight
Saturday night and Lee Walker, re-
pulsive black man, aged % years, was
taken out and strung up to telegraph
pole near the bank or Wolf river and
a few hundred yards from the Jail. At
forwards his body was cremated in the
yard of a lumber firm nearby. The ne
gro was native of north Mississippi,
and his calendar OF crimes is among the
blacklist in history. Within the past
week he has made four attempts TO
commit rape, two being successful, one
victim being small colored girl three
aud a-half years old, who was badly
larcerated, and the other married
woman of his own color.
Last Tuesday, j. miles east of Mem
phis, be dragged Miss Mollie McCadden
from her horse on the public highway
and attempted to outrage her. She
only escaped by the aid of her sister,
who beat the villain OFT with heavy
stick after both girls were nearl Y strip
ped of their clothing. An alarm was
spread, and posses of armed citizens
chased the man across the country for
more than so miles. He was finally
captured at the home Of his mother,
seven miles from New Albany, Miss.
at 10 O'Clock Saturday morning and
placed in jail. where he remained until
i2:l5 Saturday morning, when mob
took him out for execution. He made
a full confession of his crimes, and has
only been out of Jail few weeks,
where ne was serving sentence for
rape committed in the vicinity of his
parents home.
Wild disorder reigned about the jail
as the mob gathered to wreak Ven
geance. The gate of the south wall OF
the massive structure was forced with a
bar of railway iron used as battering
ram on the shoulders OF the men, and
after several attempts, squads OF men
crowded within the walls.
Sheriff McLendon was struck over
the head with q chair within the Jail
door as he tried to keep the mob out of
the door. He was carried upstairs,
placed in bed, and received surgical at
tention. None of the mob was mask
ed, and they seemed to be mainly
young railway switchmen and men Of
other callings. The railway bar was,
after several attempts, gotten inside the
Jail, and the two iron doors were bat
tered down, occupying half an hour be-
fore they reached the cell where the
victim was. The man was taken out,
all the doors being thrown open, but no
other prisoners were interferred with.
The mans clothing was torn from his
body as he NOV d with the mob to Will
liams' lumber yard, two hundred yards
north of the jail, where he was strung
up to telegraph pole. He was naked,
a lighted gas lamp near by making him
plainly visible to the throng He was
iacerated with knives; his throat was
cut before being finally hung. His
hands not having been tied he clutched
at the rope when raised off his feet. The
sight was a CHASTITY one. He was man
of powerful build, his head towering
above those of the mob who surrouded
him.
At two o'clock yesterday morning
his mortal remains were only ashes
among the empers ofthe pine pile upon
which he had been destroyed.
