MEMPHIS. TENN. october GA spe-
cial TO the Scimitar from Canton, Miss
says: The little town OF st. Anne
twenty miles east of Canton, In Ledke
county, was last night the scene OF a
tragedy sequel TO the burning OF the
Gambrel family. the night before. Joe
Lefiore. a negro. was captured by a
posse, and confessed that he, In
company with other negroes, had tied
Mira. Gambrel and her four children
10 the floor of the house. saturated the
surroundings with kerosene oil, and burn
ed them alive. The negro, after COMES
sion OF the crime, was promptly ropeu
10 a stake and burned to crisp, while
the citizens looked IN silence. Another
negro, Bob Smith, was saved IN the mex
of time as there was doubt as TO ms
guilt
THE GAMBREL TRAGEDY.
The Gambrel tragedy occurred Thurs
day morning, and il was first tnousht
that the fire was the result OF an acci-
dent. A casual investigation revealed cir
cumstsnces 50 suspicious. however that
a more searching investigation was mace,
and IL was soon established beyond DOUBT
that the family had been murdered ana
the house fired.
Posses were Immediately formed 10
gcour the country, and follow every posi-
Bile clew. Before they left Saint Anne
il was discovered that Joe Leflore,
negro who lived in the neighborhood, and
who had heretofore borne a good reputa-
ton. had disappeared. Early yesterday
Leflore was discovered some miles from
the scene of the tragedy. AT first he de-
MED any knowledge of the tragedy, but
finally broke down and confessed that ne
Andrew Smith, and Bob smith, all ne
groes. were guilty. lie told with brutal
frankness all the details Of the crime.
NO MERCIFUL BULLET.
In the yard where the Gambrel resi-
dence had stood, Lefiore was tied TO q
stake and burned alive. No one sent
merciful bullet into his body TO Kill him
Andrew Smith has not been captured
Bob Smith was tied TO another stake and
a fire was started, but he was finally
released as there was possibility OF
his proving his innocence. Andrew
Smith will be captured, and 1t IS
proved that he and his brother Bob are
guilty. il is thought no power can save
Them from a fate similar 10 that melted
out 10 LehOre.
SHERIFF TAKES SUSPECTS OFF.
The Sheriff Of Leake county went 10
the scene of the tragedy this afternoon,
and took the negro Robert smith and
three negro women who were implicated
by Lehore, and started for Carthage
the county seat. il is not thought The
Sheriff will reach Carthage with ms
prisoners. as there are about five hundred
men gathered about the scene OF the
crime. ana they seem determined TO let
no guilty one escape their vengeance.
