THREE MEN LYNCHED.
Russellvine, Ky, the Scene Of the
AwtulD Deed.
Arch, Dlnk and BAH Proctor. Awaiting
Trial for Murder, Arc Lynched-The
Latter Riddled with Bullets in His
Cell-The Others Hanged.

Russellville, Ky, Dec. ia blood
thirsty, armed mob Of men from Logan
county, half of whom came from Adair-
vile, came to this town after midnight
Friday morning and killed three pris-
pners who were in the Jail waiting for
trial on the charges of murder and con-
spiracy. Arch Proctor, who murdered
Aaron and doc" Grafton at Adair-
Vile October "a, was taken from the
Jail with his father, Dink Proctor,
charged with conspiracy in the Graf
ton case, and both men were hanged
to the same tree just outside the town.
Bill Proctor, half brother of Dink.
and credited with being real des-
peraio. who had terrorized the Adaif-
Vile district for score of years, was
riddled with bullets in his cell, defying
the mob to take him out alive and
cursing them with his last breath.
Think One Should Have Been Spared.
The law-abiding citizens of Adair-
Vile congratulated each other that Bill
and his nephew had been put out of the
way, but the people OF the county gen
orally say that Dink was not deserving
OF death.
The brothers were acquitted Of the
charge of killing Aaron Grafton and
Arch was held for trial in $4,000 bonds.
The trial of all three was set for Friday
in the other murder case. Bill killed
several men and had been on trial four
times for his life. He was one Of the
four men who was charged with hang
ing Ed Traughber about two years ago.
