The reeen. whipping Of Davis in this
city by Degroes was brutal outrage. It II

Who witnessed the whipping we're Till

There we're aot mste than Eve or six
Conservatives within block OF the
whipping, while it was witnessed BY at
least thirty Tllmanites
Itis true that the Conservatives have
been charged with this outrage just
as they have b,eu charged with every
thing that was wrong for the past three
years. But most thorough search
has failed to discover one ant-Tiliman-
ite Who either aided, instigated OF
abstted this outrage, OF vas in posi-
sion to do anything to proven. it.
On the other hand there are Tiilman-
ties Who could at least have made an
effort to prevent the breach OF the
peace; but stood by calmly without q
word.
There are some newspapers in this
State just now having a great deal to
say about the enormisy Of seeing q
negro whip . white man. We admit
il Is bad. i ms bad in 1885,: ln

gress TO pass the Coxey bills. as printed in

said, and he could not understand why he
should be arrested.
Il only obeyed the commands Of the
LORD" he said. "and they arrested me for
doing religious duty"
What made you think you had to ad-
dress the House, he was asked.
About o'clock in the morning" he re-
piled. Il received the command from the
Lord. In the morning / told my wife that
l was going TO the Capitol. but did not tell
her why"
When not asleep or talking to some of the
ofncers Cherry spent his time singing
hymns. He tells of the time he was ar
rested In Hosansville. Ga, when ne was
commanded 10 read four chapters Of the
Bible on the street and thinks he is a VIC
TIN or religious persecution.
during the twelve years he has resided
here he has figured in religious gatherings

William Gun, met death in a violent man.
ner. He was acting in disorderly man.
ner on NJ street, about O'Clock, when
Officers Howard and Trussell came along
and placed him under arrest. He went
along quietly until the patrol box was
reached. Then, as the officer holding him
released his grip to turn in the order for the
patrol. he broke for freedom. For some
distance he rushed about almost aimlessly.
Then, at the foot OF 18th street, he sighted
the entrance to an alley that leads down to
the Chesapeake and Ohio canal and rushed
pell-mell through it. The next moment
there was a splash. Lee had gone over
board. Whether he had fallen INFO the
canal accidentally, or ju.nped In with the
idea that he could better escape, will never
be definitely known, for the fall killed him.
He staid in the canal seven minutes before
his body was recovered. Then was noticed
deep hole in the forehead, probably in
flicted by stone which his head came in
contact with during the sudden descent.
The water in the canal at the point the mar
went over is ten feet below the grade of
the alley. He could easily have tripped on
the bank and struck his head against the
edge OF the wall as he went over. The body
was sent to the morgue at the seventh pre-
cinct, and Dr. Shekells summoned to see il
any spark of life yet remained The doc
tors examination. though, sustained the
officers in their decision as to the man IS
condition. Lee, or Gun, was large man.
weighing nearly 200 pounds. Since the
breaking up of the policy business in George
town he has done nothing for living. He
resided with his wife and two children al
lU76 Goth street.
This morning the coroner viewed the
body and gave a certificate of accidental
drowning.
The drowning of Lee recalls the fact OF
the drowning in the river several years
ago of a colored man who had escaped from
the officers. His name was Henry Taylor
He had been arrested and taken to the old
police station on High street. Just as he
reached the front door of the building he
dealt the officer a stunning blow in the
face and ran TO the foot of High street
where he jumped in the river. His body
WAS never recovered.
