A West Yirclnin ENncninr.

Bramwell, w. Va, Feb. 2.-William
Bailey, a desperate negro, who less
than a month ago was released from
the state penitentiary after serving
three years for involuntary man
slaughter, was ~lynched Monday mid
night by a posse of coal miners. Bailey
early in the evening shot and instantly
killed Harry Draper, who was watching
at the Norfolk and Western tunnel and
depot, because Draper refused to let
him walk through the tunnel. Bailey
was taken from the jail, after the doors
had been battered down, dragged to
the nearest tree and strung up. More
than so shots We're hen fired into his
body by the lynchers. Though the
lynching occurred in a binding snow
it was witnessed by half as many wo-
men as men, who cheered the lynchers

During the presentation Of the Moulin

week, Harris, of the team of Harris &

the famous Partisan resort. and at the con-
cilsion of each number on the programme
walked cut in dress suit and with a Teu-
tonic accent announced the next turn" He
always did it in humorous way that COM
bined the manner of the concert hall an
nouncer and the buffoonery of the German
comedian. AT the performance Monday
afternoon, in drawing attention to the shad-
owgraph singing speciality of one Of the per-
formers, he said: Ladies and Gentlemen-I
take pleasure in calling your attention to
the next number on the programme that of
Mr.. Edwards, who will sing that plaintive
melody entitled, How can an Indianapolis

L assure you the song is very touching
The audience testified their appreciation
of the local "hit'|, against the Democratic
county committee by loud laughs and hand
clapping, but before the next show a police
sergeant and other officials of the Depart
ment of Public Safety called on Manager
Zimmerman and told him to ''edit" the an
nouncement. Jimmy at once ordered it
'cut OUT and thereafter the sensibilities
of the policemen were not hurt by such lin
decent" remarks, although the regular grist
of obscene jokes was ground out without
any protest from the guardians of the NAL
eSty of the law.

A. OAKEY HALLS CAREER.
Mayor and District Attorney OF New
York During the Reign of Tweed.

NEW YORK, Oct. S.-Oakey Hail. who
died of heart disease last night, occupied a
unique position in the history of this city.
He was twice mayor of the metropolis and
for many years was district attorney. He
was probably one of the besr known men in
the country, and had an extraordinary ca
reer. He was born in Albany July 26, 1925.
He studied law there, and for time he was
in the Office of John Slidell, in New Orleans,
but subsequently came to New York and
was associated with the late Nathaniel
Hunt as assistant district attorney. Upon
his death Mr.. Hall became interested in
politics and joined the Wing party. He re-
ceived the nomination for district attorney,
was elected, and held the Office for ten
years From that post he was elected to the
mayoralty. He changed his politics fire.
quently. Beginning as a Whig he became a
Know-nothing, Republican, and finally a
Democrat. He was a man of great versa
tility and tried his talents variously in the
fields of journalism. law, politics and the
stage His career as an actor was short,
and he returned to politics and law. In re-
cent years he confined himself almost en-
tirely TO literature and journalism.
Mr.. Hall was the sole survivor of the
mayors who served between the time of
Fernando Wood and that of Ely Smith, jr.
To the minds of most New Workers whose
political records extend back a generation
his name is inseparably connected with the
rise and fall Of the Tweed ring. His per-
sonal honesty, his friends said, was ire
proachable. They declared that he left no
Office richer than when he entered 1t.
