DRAMATIC SCENE IN JAIL.

woman Accused of Numbering Her
Husband Not Allowed to Attend
the Funeral.
camden, n j., Nov. 17.-There was
dramatic scene in the Camden iail
When Mrs. Florence McCusker, who is
held on the charge of numbering her
husband. was notified that she would
not be allowed to attend his funeral.
1he woman became hysterical and
she cried and raved like maniac. As
the carriage containing the relatives
OF the murdered man filed past the
jail the shrieks of Mrs. McCusker
could be plainly heard on the outside
OF the structure. In her rawlings she
insisted that she was innocent of the
murder. Mrs. McCusker sent a large
floral Offering. 1t was of red carna.

the lnurdererS. There were about for
ty men concerned in the lynching.
The Jail i'm which the prisoners were
confined is substantial stone struc-
ture and was in charge of Deputy
Sheriff Thomas Kelly.
About 9 o'clock in the morning there
was a rap at the outer door Of the Jail
and Kelly arose quickly and turned
the key in the lock, thinking that
some persons he expected to meet had
arrived. No soner had he opened the
door than the members of the mob
crowded into the small Jail corridors.
All Of them We're masked and the
leaders carried ropes, purchased new
for the occasion. Kelly at once real
lied that the mob had come after his
prisoners. The lynchers were quiet
but determined. The leader presented
a revolver at the head of the deputy
sheriff and told him they wanted the
prisoners, and demanded that he open
the cells in which they We're confined.
Kelly saw that resistance was useless
and unlocked the cells Two Of the
prisoners were confined in one CELL,
and the other in a separate cell. They
had been aroused from sleep by the
entrance Of the men and sat up half
awake and trembling with terror
Holy Track and Ireland We're dragged
from their beds, ropes were fastened
about their necks and they were
dragged out of the Jail building after
being told to prepare for death.
The mob had more consideration for
Coudet. since the other two had con-
fessed their crime, but Coudot had not,
and the mob desired to learn from him
whether the two others who are under
arrest for the crime are guilty. The
! self-confessed murderers were dragged
across the space intervening between
the {;jail and 4, beef Nindlass several
hundred yards from the Jail upon
which they were hanged without GER
emony. Coudot was the first man to
be hanged. 1t is reported that he was
asked before he was hanged whether
Blackhawk and Defender had also
: been concerned in the murder, and he
answered that they had been. Holy
Track and Ireland were so nearly I'M.
conscious from the effects of the drag
ging that they did not realize what
was about to happen. When the ropes
about their necks We're tossed over the
beam Of the windlass they We're I'M
able to standSand were slowly raised
from the ground on which they lay
until their bodies swung into the air
and dangled from the windlass with
that of$Coudot. 2.
The mob then dispersed, mounted
their horses and rode away. There
were two other men alleged to have
been implicated in the murders for
which the three were lynched, and
they were saved from the same fate
only by the fact that they are con-
fined at Bismarck, forty miles away.

Miss Quincy protests against willful
sadness in literature, but people like
to weep. The most popular novels of
the last three years have been sad en-
ough to produce confirmed melan-
choly on the part Of every person who

plays of the period are built on human
misfortune and agony. The more
