THREE LIVES FOR ONE
MURDER AVENGED BY A MOB OF
800 ARKANsANs.
Three Negroes Hanged to a Tele-
graph Pole and Their Bodies
RiddIed with Shot.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Sept. .. The
breath Of life had scarcely left the body of
their victim when a mob of three hundred
enraged citizens of McGehee, Ark, secured
Luke Washington, Richard Washington and
Henry Crobyson, the three negroes who
murdered II. c. Patton, at McGehee, yes
terday morning and strung them up to tele-
graph poles. and their limp and lifeless
bodies, perforated with buckshot, are now
dangling in the air near the scene of the
crime.
The three negroes yesterday morning
burst into the store of Mr.. H. C. Patton, a
prominent merchant, at McGehee, and, aft
er beating him into insensibility with clubs,
dragged him to the rear of his store, where
the knife was brought into use to make
their work doubly sure. and their uncon-
scious victims throat was cut from ear to
ear. The negroes then rifed the store of
a small amount of money and what goods
they could carry away and fled to Pine
Bluff. where they were captured last night.
They were taken back to McGehee to-day
and at the coroner's inquest broke down
and confessed their crime. relating every
detail of the deed.

excitement ran high in McGehee, and it
was almost certain that as soon as dark
ness had settled over the little town., lit
tie time would be lost in avenging Pat
tons murder. The negroes Of McGehe
took a leading part in the proceedings, and
passed word around among the white peo-
pie to await patiently the result Of the
coroner's inquest, promising that as soon
as all doubt of the prisoners guilt had
been removed they, the colored people,
would take the case in their own hands
and satisfy the public demand for revenge.
After the conclusion of the coroners in
quest the sheriff made preparation to
hasten his prisoners to jail, and, as sub
sequent events proved. the mob prepared
to hasten them to the grave. About 7:30
p. m, as the sheriff was starting to the
Jail at Arkansas City with his prisoners
he was met by a mob of three hundred,
composed Of whites and blacks, who over
powered the officers and quickly strung
the prisoners up. Hundreds of guns We're
then leveled at the writhing forms, and
the murder of H. c. Patton was avenged.
