was lynchcd by negro mob early this morn
ing. He had strangled his negro mistress the
night before. The mob's victim was Charles
Williams. an intelligent but worthless negro.
about 80 years OF age. He had been living
with Laura ConifaRand was known to be jea-
GUS of her
Sunday night they quarrelled and he threat
encd to kill her On Monday her dead body
was found. She had been stranGled. Williams
was arrested. and the Coroner's jury declared
at o'clock this morning that she was stranRled
to death by Williams.
The jury's verdict had been anticipated by
tho Galena negroes. and gangs of them
had remained about the streets wait
ing for the jurors to go home At
$3.50 o'clock a mob OF fifteen masked ne
grocs went to the city Jail. tore of the lock
with a.ei and while some remained outside
fo,r eut red the jail and battered down the
door Of Wiiliams's cell. One OF the men had
rope. They ordered Williams to come out. but
he protested his innocence. and selling two
bricks, that were in his cell. prepared to
that they shoot him. Four shots rang out.
One bullet entered his heart and death was al
most instantaneous.
The mob then quietly withdrew. leaving the
dead body in the cell and carefully fastening
the Jail door to prevent the other prisoners
and no one seems to care who the llynchers
were or to regret that negro mob had exc
cuted negro murderer In a State that does
not ntict the death penalty.
