regret for the murder and claimed he had
been under the influence of liquor and had
not known what he was doing when he
committed the crime. He was cool TO the
last and walked on the scafford with firm
step and stolid countenance.
Fords crime aroused the greatest in
dignation in this city and Iynching was

criminally assault her. She desperately re-
sisted him and terrific struggle between
the two ensued. during which the negro
cut several ugly gashes across the throat
of his victim with a knife. The girls
screams brought assistance from her fam
lily, who found her bleeding and exhausted
from the wounds She died almost imme-
dately without giving any information
about her assailant A number of arrests
were made, as the surrounding country wa
searched by posses OF determined men, but

ceeded in obtaining clews that seemed TO
fasten the crime on Ford. The latter man

to ravish her. Ford was about thirty years
old and a man OF low, brutal instincts.
