 ricaI Training. TELLS A CONFLICTING STORY James T. Roberts Stays Prof Ray Simpson, Director of Dramatic School Which Bears Un- savory Reputation

St. Louis, Mo-, November 24.-Robert All exander Simpson, better known as Prof. Ray Simpson, was shot and mortally wounded late this evening in his dramatic agency and school, 1920 Olive street, by James T. Roberts, lawyer. Simpson died shortly afterward
 Roberts wife, from whom he has lived apart for the last year, was taking lessons in stage craft from Simpson. Roberts tried in vain to persuade her to give up her les- sons, supposedly from the fact that Smp- sons school bore an unsavory reputation in the community.
 Roberts called upon Simpson this even- ing and forbade the latter to give his wife any more lessons. Simpson replied hotly that he would continue giving the lessons so long as the compensation for his ser vices was forthcoming.
 Claims He was Assaulted Roberts claims that Simpson assaulted him, clutching him about the throat and beating him.. Roberts says he had re- volver convenient and being unable to make Simpson desist in his attack, was forced to use it in self-defense.

 Told Conflicting Story
 On being taken to the fourth cohrt he told a conflicting story. He said that al- though he had lived apart from his wife for year past, they had no serious trouble and jealousy had not prompted him to kill Simpson. On the contrary, Mrs. Roberts, on being interviewed, said she had separ- ated from her husband because of his ex- treme brutality.
 Roberts formerly lived in Memphis where he Was an expert court stenogra- pher. He came here ten years ago, and has practiced law since. Simpson was the manager of half a dozen one-night stand dramatic companies.
 It is stated on good authority that he practiced all sorts of deceptions in making rp the personnel of the companies, and taht the members thereof as a general thing, had to make their way back to town unassisted.

The road for a distance Of half mile
on each side ofthebur ming negro was
black with conveyances, and was simply
impossible. The crowd surrounded the
stake on all sides, but none of those nearer
than 100 feet of the center were able to see
what was going on. Yell after yell went
up, and the progress of the flames was
communicated TO those in the rear by
shouts from the eye-witnesses.
The torch was applied about 2:30 o'clock
and at o'clock the body of Sam Hose was
limp and lfeless, his head hanging to one
side. The body was not cut down. 1t was
cut to pieces. The crowd fought for places
about the smoldering tree. and with knives
secured such pieces of the carcass as did
not fall to pieces. The chain was severed
by hammers, the tree was chopped down
and with such pieces of the firewood as
had not been burned, were carried away as
souvenirs.
Atlanta, Ga, April 24-The Sixth regi-
ment, Georgia militia, which was ordered
under arms last night by Governor Cand-
Ter, spent the night in the armory here.
It was stated by the governor that the
militia was wanted to guard the county
jail as a protection to G. w. Kerlin, who
killed Pearl Knott near Woolsey, Ga, last
week, but it was generally believed the
soldiers were wanted TO prevent trouble
al Palmetto. Shortly before noon Gov
ernor Gambler ordered the dismissal of the
militia and the members went to their
places of business.
The governor has notified the Jones boys,
who arrested Hose, that he has suspended
payment of the reward for three days.
The arrest and delivery of Hose to the
crowd at Newman will be thoroughly in
vestigated.
The people OF this city have never been
so wrought up as they are over the New
nan affair, Extra trains have carried
5000 or 1900 people to the scene of the
crime. Some OF them remained over night
and returned to Atlanta this morning.
Nearly every man brought souvenir and
one showed a piece of Hoses heart, saying
he was going to present it to Governor
Gambler

WHAT THE PULPIT SAYS
One Pastor Not so Mortified but He
Considers Hoses Crime.

Cleveland, O., April 24-The Methodist
Ministers association today discussed the
George lynchings and appointed a COM
mittee to draft resolutions commenting
upon the outrage, as well a sthe crime
committed by the victim of the mob. Rev.
John Mitchell presiding elder, in a speech,
recounted the crime of Sam Hose. Some
of the ministers present objected. That
is the trouble with some of you said
Rev Mitchell. You do not want TO hear
Of the crime. I really believe that if a
crime was committed in this city the peo-
pie would take the law into their own
hands and would hang the perpetrator in
the face of law and order. We should not
only condemn the burning of the poor
wretch. but also the terrible crime he
committed"
Philadelphia. April 24.-Baptist minis
tiers Of this city at their weekly meeting
today adopted resolutions condemning the
burning at the stake yesterday in Georgia
of the negro murderer, Sam Hose. The
resolution was introduced by Rev. Kerr

did so as "one who was born in Georgia,
but who bushes tod,e for his state"

LICE STRICKLAND'S DEATH
Hanged, Shot and MutiIsted--ImpIi-
Gated by Sam Hose

Palmetto, Ga, April 24.-The body of
L3ge Strickland, the negro preacher who
was implicated in the Canford murder by
Sam Hose, was found swinging to limb
of a persimmon tree within a mile and a
quarter of this place early today. Before
death was allowed to end the sufferings
Of the negro his ears We're cut off and
the small finger of his left hand was sew
cred at the second joint. These trophies
were in Palmetto today On the chest Of
the negro was a scrap of blood-stained
note paper attached with an ordinary pin.
On one side of this paper was written:
New York Journal.
I'VE must protect our ladies, 1893"
The other side of the paper contained a
warning TO the negroes of the neighbor-
hood. 1t read as follows:
Beware. all darkies. You Will be treat
ed the same way"
Before being finally lynched Strickland
was given chance to confess to the mis-
deeds of which the mob supposed him to
be guilty, but he protested his innocence
until 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 70 con-
fess his completely in the Crawford muir
der. Three times Strickland 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 this mob. Strickland was strangled 10
death.
The lynching og Lige Strickland was not
accomplished without . 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 70 prevent the lynchng OF the
negro and did not discontinue his efforts
until he had been assured by the leaders
of the mob that the negro would be taken
