AN AGED TEACHER LYNcHED.
Taken From Jail at Mount Vernon
BY Mob of Masked Men.

Mount Vernon, Ca, Nov. "a white
man of good family of mature years.
and a graduate Of Yale University. was
lynched here this morning. His body at
this writing lies in the woods. in a hor-
ribly mangled condition, where il was left
by the lynchers, and where it may remain
all night.
The mob consisted of about twenty-five
masked men. The victim of its fury is
Prof. L. w. Perdue, a teacher. well known
in this section Of the state. He was ac-
cused of an assault upon a young wo-
man. and was in jail awaiting trial when
he was taken out and killed.
The professor was taken from the jail
this morning about 2:SO o'clock and car
ried to clump of woods near by where
his throat was cut from ear to ear. His
body was then strung up to a tree and
riddled with bullets,
When the sheriff learned that the jail
was beleaguered by a mob he attempted
to save the prisoner, but was overpow-
cred. The mob was a blood-thirsty one,
and would probably have slain the sher-
if as well as his prisoner before it would
have given up its prey.
Public knowledge of the difficulty which
had such a tragic ending begins about six
cused Prof. Perdue of having committed
an assault upon her nearly two years ago.
while she was his assistant at school
teaching. Upon her affidavit, a warrant
was issued for the arrest Of the professor.
He affirmed that he had no fears of the
result of a fair trial. and submitted to ar
rest. He was committed to Jail for trial
1t is said that a little more than a year
ago Miss Grady gave birth to a child 1t
lived only a short while. There was not
more than local sensation because of the
occurrence, A year after the death of the
child the charge was brought against the
professor. That is the statement that
comes from one side. There is, of course,
another side to the story, but
it cannot be had tonight
Prof. Perdue was a man of refined man
ners, of finished education, and was well
connected. He was 81 years of age, and
had been a married man for years His
wife and two sons and two daughters sur
Vive him. A telegram has been sent to
Savannah for burial case, and thesman-
gled remains Will be Inferred Monday
after the coroner has begun his investiga-
ton.
Undertaken Goette received word late
last night to send a coffin to Nj. Vernon
this morning. 1t will be sent out on the
Georgia and Alabama train, leaving here

railways to come in and use the track
of established roads being stricken out
The article was sent to the committee on
