MEMPHIS, Tenn, July 3.--Lee Walker,
the negro who assaulted Miss Mollie McCad-
den and colored girl was lynched here
last night in spite of the fact that 20 well
armed deputy sheriffs guarded the jail.
This attack on the Jail began Mt l O'Clock.
1t was not believed it would be successful
and Sheriff McI.endon ordered his men not
to hurt anybody.
The crowd grew In numbers and at 1910
broke down the Jail gates. Even the
sheriff would not permit his men to use
their weapons. Finally rush was made
and McLendon was knocked sensooss with
chair. The mob then battered down the
doors and dragged Walker from his cell.
He fought iiercely and bit several men SO.
vorely. He was stabbed and slnshed until
the blood streamed from him in torrents.
He was hustled off to telegraph pole
two blocks away and rope was fastened
around his neck. He was lifted up and his
then naked body swung clear of the ground.
| Then a big railroad switchman pulled his
legs until his neck cracked The same man
mntilated the corpse.
There was probably 5000 persons in the
crowd around the Jail but not more thar
| 100 took an active part in the lynching
| They were nearly all railroad men. One o
them stumbled and fell while the victim
was being carried to the telegraph pole anC
the crowd trampled ON him breaking hi
jaw and probably injuring him fatally.
Sheriff McLendon is badly hurt. HI
seems to have conclusion of the brain
| Walker tried to commit suicide before h,
WINS lynched, by cutting his throat with
! glass bottle found in his coll. After tn
body was cut down the mob raided lum
Der yard and building bonfire, burned th,
negroes body. By o'clock the town hac
become quiet.
