BURNED AT THE STAKE.
Maysville, KY, the Scene Of the HOr-
rible Revenge Of Infuriated Thous-
ands-A Negro the Victim.

MAYsvILLE, KY, Dec. 6.--Richard
Coleman (colored) confessed MUIR
derer of Mrs. james Lashbrook, wife Of
his employer, expiated his crime at
daylight to-day at the hands OF thous-
and OF citizens BY burning at the
stake, after suffering torture and
fright beyond description.
The dreadful spectacle occurred on
the peaceful cricket grounds on the
outskirts OF this, one of the oldest and
among the prondest cities OF Ken
lucky. The barbarities inflicted upon
this young negro by citizens of one of
the most highly civilized cities Of the
state are almost beyond belief, and
can be accounted Tor only by the in
tense horror created by long consider
alton OF the atroei5ss crime, of which
full confession had been made by
Coleman.
Coleman arrived In charge Of officers
at 1920 a. m. Three hours later, of
his body there remained only charred
bones.
When he died no one can tell.
The rope that dragged him to the
stake gashed his neck. His sight was
destroyed by vitrioland pepper. Then
his eyes were gouged out.
He was stabbed and mutilated, but
no blow sank to vital organ. Not to
hasten a merciful death were the
knives drawn, but to add to his tor
ture.
James Lashbrook, husband of the
negro's victim, led the mob and put
the fret match to the pyre. He and
his relatives remained to the last,
pushing back into the flames with
poles the negro's body when, freed
by the burning Of the ropes, 1t rolled
here and there with the yielding Of
burned-out brands
Just two months ago Richard Cole
man, the trusted employe Of James
Lashbrook, In moment OF depravity
and savagery not equalled in the an
male of crime, murdered the woman
who had been his benefactor. Cole.
man was not only employed on the
farm, but had been installed as 4
house servant and was trusted implic-
/ lily by both Mr.. Lashbrook and hii
wife.
On the day of the murder Mr.. Lash
brook was at work some distance
away from the house. Mrs. Lash
brook had driven to Maysville ant
returned when Coleman asked her tC
enter the cabin to look at some worl
upon which he had been engaged
The negro locked the door on the in,
side. Mrs. Lashbrook became fright
ened and screamed. Coleman strucl
her on the head, knocking her down
but not stopping her cries. He thcl
seized a razor and cut her throat. HI
picked up the bleeding body AM
iplaced It on the Deu. he tnen LEI
the room, but, returning, heard he
still groaning and with an axe b
struck her repeatedly on the heal
until he was sure she was dead.

WHAT ROBERTS SAYS OF IT.
all Laid to Misrepresentation and ia
Hatred Of His Church.

NEW YORK, Dec. S.-The New York
World publishes the following signed
statement from Congressman -eIect B.
Il. Roberts;
"The action OF the House to-day in
my case was not surprise to me. Tne
whole matter was evidently preiudg-
ed and the minds OF members made
up to follow the course that had been
outlined. When the question comes
to be considered by members Of the
House after the pressure OF public
opinion is removed ] think the case
will stand as q vicious violation OF
the well established precedents which
have fixed the rules Of the House.
'sThe foundation is now laid for con-
fusion, chaos and revolution in the
organization Of the House and the
rights of membership therein. A pre-
cedent has been established which
will yet excuse the same denial OF
rights to Roman Catholic, Presby-
terian, an agnostio or any one who
may be unfortunate enough to stand
under condemnation OF q popular
sentiment lashed into frenzy by mis-
representation and falsehood, az in
my instance. was met ct the very
bar of the House and denied the pro-
lection granted by the rules OF that
body and the Constitution Of the
United States, because I was q mem
ber of an unpopular church, against
which there rests a sectarian hate.
1.-THE matter of denying me the
right to be sworn in 10 Itself not q
very important matter, SO far as af-
lfecting me personally 10 concerned,
but it Is a fact that the right OF rep
resentation OF a sovereign state has
been denied by this action to-day.
"I have not yet formed any plans
concerning what course | win follow
before the committee. l shall de-
vote my attention to IL assiduously,
for by no means do consider my case
lost. -
