South" for over an hour at st.
Pauls Chappell, Leffingwell avenue
and Chestnut street, Wednesday
night. The auditorium was crowd
cd, and the speaker held the atten-
tion of her audience to the close of
her lecture. She was introduced
by Rev. Smith, of Zion church. The
lecturer dealt entirely with the
lynching of negroes in the South
and a few of the more Northern
states, where such crimes have oc-
Cured. She gave figures and Incl
dents to show that the lyuchings
are iustidable in but very few cases,
and that the white people of the
South are particular that the facts
are not published to the world,

With regard to the burning of a
negro at the stake in TeXarkana,
Ark, two or three years ago, in
which the alleged victim of the ne
gro's lust, Mrs, Jewell, kindled the
fire that burned him to death, the
lecturer said the public had been
led to suppose that a lecherous
brute had paid the penalty Of a
horrible crime. This she declared
was not the case; that the woman
was notoriously loose character,
and she and her husband had been
supported for more than a year by
her victim, The case, she said, was
thoroughly investigated by the Chi
cago Anti-Lynching Society, which
had published the truth of the
whole affair. She further stated
that nearly every man in the mob
which did the 6endish work was the
father of mulatto children,

Mrs. Jewell lived when Coy commit

being 'loose character" she has
always borne a good reputation

And Ida Wells without any Miss

ING these hell-born lies about Mrs
Jewell and those who avenged hel
