A Kentucky Negro Strung L n In Broad Day
for AssauIting Girl.
HAwEsvILLE, Ky. Sept Elm the
broad open glare of Sunday sun, in
the midst of protracted revival, not
a mask to be seen, and in the presence
of 500 Infatuated people. Raymond
Bushrod, a negro, yesterday evening
at five o'clock was made to pay the
penalty of his assault on 14-year-old
Maggie Roberts He was swung from
a limb in the courthouse yard.
His confession was complete. After
offering up his last supplication, the
signal to haul away was given. The
applause as he went up was deafening.
In about four minutes he was pro-
nounced dead, and Coroner Mitchell,
viewing the body, cut it down and
summoned a jury, whose verdict was
that Bushrod came to his de ath at the
hands of unknown parties
During the entire time of the lynch
ing not less than 200 women were on
the hill and hillside overlooking the
public square. and when his dangling
form went up. cheers upon top of
cheers from them rent the air. In fact,
the women gave a double assurance to
the ones engaged that the proper pun
iShment was being melted out.

Does Anybody Know this Man,
K. c. Journal: 1t is something
wonderful how the tragedies or melO-
dramas of real life work themselves
out. Early last spring J. II. Bate
man, living near HoltOn, had Swede
by the name of n. r. Wilbur working
on his farm. Wilbur was a frugal
and industrious fellow, who had
saved something more than $1,000
which he carried sewed up in the
lining of his coat. In June he left Mr..
Bateman to go to the klendike, and
the Kansas man gave him a letter of
recommendation addressed to the
public generally, in which he was
described as an honest and indus
triOus man.
One day this week Mr.. Batemsn
received a letter from John L. Smith,
United States Commissioner at Dyea,
Alaska, stating that the drowned
body of Wilbur had been found in a
stream near Dyea, and that the only
mark of Identification discovered up
on the body was the letter of recon-
mendation written by the Kansas
man. Commissioner Smith stated
that no moUey or other thing of value
had been found in Wilbur's pockets
and that he had been buried at Dyea !
at public expense. Mr.. Bateman re-
spOnded with the suggestion that if |
the body were taken up q large |
amount of money would probably be /
found sewed up in the lining of the 1
coat. Nothing is known of Wilbur's |
family. In addition to the money he |
carried on his person he had a mort |
gage on an Allen county farm, and |
Mr.. Bateman has communicated with |
the Allen county authorities in hope
Of learning something of his ante /

Harry o. Carr. The new officers were at
once installed.
Milwaukee was chosen as the place OF
holding the next annual convention. and
the date fixed was the first Tuesday in
June.
The question OF adopting the Bertillon
system for the detection of criminals was
brought up under the head OF new busi-
ness. The object Is to establish a ma
tIonal bureau Of Identification. The re-
rort was presented By Jacob Frye, OF
Baltimore. He was OF opinion that the
bureau could be put into operation for
5000. He proposed to divide the diff
ferent departments into three classes
The first class Is to be assessed 500 per
annum. the second class s,5, and the
third class $50
The assessments had already been
agreed to by Buffalo. Philadelphia. Pitts
burg, Brooklyn, Washington, Cincinnati
New Orleans. Pinkerton's Detective
Agency, Baltimore, Charlotte, Indianapo-
lis, Little Rock; Los Angeles. Cal; Port
land, Me-. and Atlanta, Ga, these assess
ments aggregatlng $500. This was $500
less than the amount deemed necessary
to establish the bureau.
Marshal Frye spoke at length upon the
advisability Of universally adopting the
Bertillon system of Identification. He
urged its superiority over the old system
of Identification by means OF photo
graphs.
The convention then adjourned.
