HOLDS ITS LAST SESSION.
Wade Court of Inquiry Is Now Preparing
Its Report.

Wade Court of Inquiry Is Now Preparing
Its Report.
WASHING TON. April 25.-The Wade
board of inquiry. appointed to investi-
gate the allegations made by General
Miles in his testimony before the war
investigating commission concerning
the meat furnished the army during tho
late war with Spain, held it's last open
session yesterday and is now engaged
upon the preparation of its report. The
court has been in session almost 10
weeks, and in the addition to daily
hearings given in this city for several
weeks, sessions have been held in Chi
cago, Omaha and Kansas City to afford
the members of the court an opportun-
ity personally to inspect the canning
and refrigerating process Of the pack
ing houses. Several hundred witnesses
have been examined, most of whom
have been officers and enlisted men in
the regular or volunteer service, and
1850 pages of testimony have been SUBJ
mitted. The court decided not to ac-
cept the report of made by Lieutenant
Colonel Darlington of the inspector
generals office.
AT the afternoon session Major Lee,
who has been Major General Miles
representative before the board. summed
| up for his side. Recorder Davis read
brief extracts from the report of Gem
eral Breckenridge, and also from two
of his subordinates, Major Philip Reade
and Lieutenant Colonel Darlington, as
/ to the result of their individual work.
General Breckenridge condemned the
canned beef, and speaking generally,
said that while the army ration fulfilled
all the official requirements as to guam
tity its component should be changed to
meet the new conditions of service. AS
the rations We're fixed by law, this was
a matter for congress to remedy.
Major Lee then summed up the case,
declaring that he was acting as counsel
| for General Miles i'll a technical sense
and that he had been there simply tc
| present and elicit evidence. He read
his argument from carefully prepared
manuscript and was given careful at
tention by the three members of the
court and the recorder, no one else
being present except the members Of
the press. This statement consumed
an hour, when he concluded with the
statement that the members of the
board must decide whether the great
fraud and great crime which he be
lieved had been committed had beer
carried before the court, Recorder
Davis arose and said simply: II sub
NIT the case to the board without argu
ment.'

LYNCH NEGRO PREACHER
Lige Strickland Is Hanged by
a Georgia Mob.
BODY FOUND SWINGING TO A TREE

The Mans Ears and One Finger Cut OF
Before Life Departs-Fearful fortunes
Are Inflicted, but He Protests His Inno-
cence of Completely In the Crawford
Murder to the End.
PALMETTO, Ga, April 25-The body
Of Lige Strickland, the negro preacher
who was implicated in the Crawford
murder by Sam Hose, was found swing
ing to the limb of a persimmon tree
within mile and quarter of this town
yesterday. Before death was allowed
to end the sufferings of the negro, his
ears were cut off and the small finger of
his left hand was severed at the second
joint. These trophies were in Palm
etto today. On the chest Of the negro
was a scrap of bloodstained note paper
attached with an ordinary pin. On one
side of this paper was written: "New
York Journal. We must protect our
ladies, $780," The other side of the
paper contained warning to the me-
| grOes of the neighborhood. 1t read as
| follows: Beware, all darkies. You
will be treated the same way"
Before being finally lynched Strick-
land was given a chance to confess to
the misdeeds of which the mob sup
posed him to be guilty, but he protested
his innocence to the end. Three times
the moose was placed around his neck
and the negro was drawn up off the
ground; three times he was let down
with warnings that death was in store
for him should he fail to confess his
completely in the Crawford murder.
Three times Strickl and proclaimed his
innocence until, weary of useless tor
turing, the mob pulled on the rope and
tied the end around the slender trunk Of
the persimmon tree. Not shot was
fred by the mob, Strickland was
strangled to death. The lynching of
Lige Strickland was not accomplished
without a desperate effort on the part
of his employer to save his life. The
man who pleaded for the negro is
Major w. w. Thomas, an ex-state SEN
ator, and one of the most distinguished
citizens of Coweta county. He did all
in his power to prevent the lynohing
and did not discontinue his efforts I'M
til he had been assured by the leaders
Of the mob that the negro would be
taken to Jail at Fairburn. One mile
from where this promise was made,
Lige Strickl md was hanged. The ne
gro was tenant on the plantation Of
Major Thomas. When Sam Hose, the
murderer of Alfred Crawford and the
assailant of his wife, made his confess
sion, Immediately prior to his burning,
he implicated Lige Strickland, Hose
contending that he had been offered
money by Strickland to kill Crawford,
1t was known positively, however, that
Hose had made false statements in his
last confession, and many of those who
aided in his burning were disposed to
disregard his statement in regar 4 to
Strickland. Late Sunday night about
fifteen men went to the plantation OF
Major Thomas and took Lige Stricls-
land from the little cabin in the woods
that he called home, leaving his lie
and five children to wait'and weep over
the fate:they knew was in store foe lie
negro.
