White Woman.
Her Husband Led Mob and Ap-
piled Match.

Maysyille. KY, December 6.-Ricbard
Coleman (colored) confessed murderer OF
Mrs. James Lashbrook, wife Of his en-
ployer expiated his crime today at the
hands OF q mob, consisting OF thousands
of citizens, by burning at the stake after
suffering torture and fright beyond de.
scription.
The dreadful spectacle occurred on the
cricket grounds on the outskirts OF this
city. The barbariries inflicted upon this
young negro are almost beyond belief and
can only be accounted for by the intense
horror created ty long consideration of
the crime Of which full confession had
been made by Coleman. Two months ago
Coleman, In manner peculiarly
atrocious, murdered the woman who had
bsfriended him. Coleman was not only
employed on the farm, but had been In
stallsd as house servant and WAS trusted
implicitly by both James Lashbrook ard
his wife. On the day Of the murder Mr..
Lash brook was at work some distance
from the house Of which Coleman WINS
left In charge. Mrs. Lashtrook hal
driven TO Mayssille and returned, when
Coleman asked her to enter the ca,in to
look at some work on which he had been
engaged. The negro locked the door on
the inside. Mrs. Lashbrook became
frightened and screamed. Coleman struck
her on the head. knocking her down, but
not stopping her cries. He then seized a
razor and cut her throat. He picked up
the bleeding body and placed It on the
bed. He then left the room, but returned
and hearing her grosning he struck her
repeatedly on the head with an axe until
he was sure she was dead. Without any
show of alarm or remorfe the negro

he was dragged slong and forced to HIS
feet. Scores OF women Joined the men.
High above the noise the wretch could
be heard pleading for his life. This spsc-
tacle continued until the grounds were
reached where the final work of the mob
was ACCOMPLISHED.
There the prisoner was dragged to
sspling and strapped against 1t facing
the husband Of the victim. Large guam.
titles of dry brush and large bits Of wood
we're piled around him, while he was
praying for speedy death. James Lash
brook, the husband of the murdered
woman, applied the first match TO the
brush. A brother OF the victim, struck
the second match. Come one with =
knife was slashing at the prisoners chest.
Not sin gle shot was fired. The purpose
seemed to give the wretch the great pos
sioie amount and duration OF torture. As
the flames arose. Coleman's horror In
creased, and he made violent efforts to
withdraw his limbs from this enoroaching
tire. Ths ropes securing him to the tree
were burned and his body finally fell for
ward on the burning pile. Even then, al
though it was not certain whether he was
II wing or dead, the crowd used rails and
long poles to push his body
BACK INTO THE FLAMES.
Ii Is not certain how long life iastsd.
During the process, while his voice
could be heard Coleman begged for q
drink of water. At the end of three hours
the body was cremated. During all that
time, members Of the family OF Mrs.

and keep tue body In position where 10
would co ntinue to burn. 1t Is said that
