New ORLEANS. April 23.-As expected. three
OF the murderers OF L u. Doyce were taken
from the Madison Parish prison at Tslluah at
a late hour last night and lynehed by mob OF
whites The Sheriff OF Madison had said he
was determined to protect the prisoners. but
the public opinion Of the parish was too strong
for him. The Jail was attacked by large mob
and the door forced open. The three negroes
who wero most prominent In the murder OF
Doyce and who were said to have organized the
neEros against the whites. Tom Claxton. Dave
Hawkins. and Sam Slaughter. were then led
from the Jail and swung UP in the Court House
yard. their bodies facing the north side Of the
building. Tho chances are that the lynchinG
will not stop here. for II the other negroes who
had part in the killing are caught they will
meet with the same fate.
