THAT FLORIDA LYNCHING.
Denied as to the Lynching and Con-
tirming as to the Whipping.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, June, IA
special TO the Citizen from Barlow,
Fla, says: The story sent out
yesterday of a criminal assault on
Mrs. Timberlake, and subsequen
lynching OF three negroes and the
whipping OF another for the crime,
is very much exaggerated and I'M
true in particulars. The true story
briefly is:
Some man entered Mrs. Dora
Undertakes room at her resi-.
dence, eight miles west Of Barlow
on Saturday night. His object Is
unknown, but 1t is presumed to
have been theft. He was fright
ened away, but was tracked to a
camp where there were four
negroes. All were arrested but no
Identification could be made. On
the night following the parties
started to this city with all four
negroes and were overtaken by
another party who secured the
prisoners and spirited them away.
Two Of the negroes, who es-
capped, say they We're whipped and
that one or both OF the others
were killed, but this story is not
believed, as no trace OF the missing
negroes can be found. 1t is thought
they were warned to leave the
country and obeyed. The general
belief Is that the report Of the
lynching is untrue.

DOES ELEcTRocUTIoN KILL.
Burton, the Boston Scientist, Says
That It Does Not and Chal-
lapoaa Trial
lenges Trial

ROCHESTER, \. Y, June lin an
interview with an Associated Press
reporter Geo. d. Burton, the Boston
scientist, was asked as to his views
regarding electrocution Of Grimm
ais. He said in reply:
assuming the press reports Of
the execution of VIM. Lake to be
correct, l make the positive asser-
ton that the man could have been
resuscitated at any time within a
few hours after he was pronounced
dead. The surgeons knife, not the
electric current was, l believe, the
cause of that mans death. The
electricians simply filled that man
with electricity and turned him
over to the surgeons to cut up"
81 have not the slightest doubt
in my mind" continued Mr.. Bur-
ton, "that il the body Of VIM. Lake,
after it came from the electrical
chair, had been placed on wet earth
and saturated with water, every
particle OF the electrical fluid would
have been gradually drawn off the
body and the man would have re-
covered within a few hours"
He then related an instance that
came under his observation at NAL
den, Mass, where man receiving
2,400 volts had recovered after re-
ceiving the above treatment. He
further said:
"The scientific world is watching
the result Of the experiment in New
York state with the closest interest,
but doubts as to its success will
never be removed until the state
dares to sanction the trial, in the
hands Of experts, to decide whether
or not the men who are declared
dead are actually killed"
