HANGED BY A MOB.
a Negro Who Murdered an Aged Couple For
Money Strung Up.

CINCINNATI, Jan. 10. Roscoe Park
er, colored boy, who six weeks ago
last Sunday night brutally murdered
old Mr. Rhine and wife, was hanged
by mob of the best citizens of Win
chester and adjacent points in Adams
county, o., at o'clock this morning
about four miles from Winchester.
The murderwa for money, and only
$40 was obtained. Parker, the MUIR
derer, was only l6 years old, and had
known of Mr.. Rhine receiving some
money for the sale of some stock. The
boy confessed his crime, but impli-
Gated Sam Johnson, who easily proved
his innocence.
Lynching was threatened and Park
err was taken to Portsmouth for safe
keeping. Meantime the spirit of VEN
geance did not stop. Secret organiza-
ton was had and when it was learned
yesterday that Sheriff Dunlap would
bring Parker to Adams county for a
preliminary hearing and would keep
Hill ON0I hlSSl lO Ill Ull0 w CoU " hlOh jail
messengers were sent out and band
of 400 men met at the Panhandle cross
ing and rode to the West Union Jail
where they tried to work the ruse of
pretending they had prisoner, but
the sheriff seeing masked men through
the door fastened it securely.
The mob used force and despite the
sheriff's manly defense soon had
Parker and was on their way toward
Finchburg. The colored boy still
maintained that Johnson did the
murder, and finally when the place of
execution was reached and the rope
was around his neck he said he was
not at the place of murder that night
and could tell nothing whatever about
it. He refused to pray and was
hanged after one or two efforts by
somewhat unskillful executioners, who
left him after firing bullets into his
body.

Hilton, janitor employed at the
United States court rooms, has been
i'll several weeks. During the Tempo
rary absence of his wife this fternoon
he became suddenly insane and selling
two revolvers leaped from, second
story window to the street. Not Sc
riously injured in the fall, he ran
amuck several blocks firing right and
left AS he ran down Locust street he
encountered his wife coming from a
store and fired at her, but the bullet
went wide of the mark. He met Isaac
Clatty and opened fire. The bullet
took effect in Clatty's back inflicting a
dangerous wound. Then Hilton:stop-
ped and placing the revolver in his
mouth blew the top of his head off.
He fell to the pavement unconscious
and was carried to his home where he
expired.

VALIANT, THE ANARCHIST.

VALIANT, THE ANARCHIST.
PARIS, Jan. 12.-The number of
guards around the prison of La Ro-
quette, where Valiant, the condemned
anarchist, is confined, has been
doubled in consequence of threatening
letters which have been received by
the authorities and which lead them
to believe that the anarchists may at
tempt to cause an explosion on or
about the prison. At meeting of
anarchists connected with what
is known as the Freemen
group, letters were sent con-
tanning threats to jurors who took
part in the Valiant trial. 1t is added
that the jurors referred to have de
cided to petition President Carnot to
grant Valiant q pardon. 1t is also
said that this petition will be presented
to President CarUot tomorrow. At q
meeting of 1000 anarchists last night
in the night refuge at Marseilles pro-
test was made against the sentence
imposed upon Valiant and resolutions

and defendant that the clothes
defendant had on when confronted
with the wounded girl were the only
clothes he owned and were worn by
him on the day the girl was ravished.
And further, petitioner says that the
pretended confession to r. E. White,
sheriff of Travis county, was improp-
erly admitted in evidence to the Jury
against him in this case.
White at the time he says defen-
dant confessed to him, after, as he
says, he had legally cautioned him,
began to talk to him thus: "You
have been lying about the blood on
your clothes and the best thing you
can do is TO tell the truth about the
matter" This is also borne out by
record submitted, and petitioner says
that said confession WAS admitted in
violation of law. authorities here
cited).
Your petitioner under oath in open
court ON the trial of said case denied

r. e. White, but for argument sake
say the confession was made-then
petitioner says it was not made vol
