MISTRIAL RESULTED.
The Lake City Case Ends
Judge Again Sheds Tears.

Charleston, April 22.-At 10 As
O'Clock this morning the jury in the
case of the Lake City lynching
reported its Inability to reach 3
verdict. The jury was out "a hours.
In dismissing the jury Judge
Brawley was again moved to tears as
he referred to the crime The case
goes over to the next term of cours
for retrial
It is understood that the jury stood
five for conviction and seven for
acouittal when the last effort was
made to reach verdict When the
first ballot was taken the jurors
were evenly divided Later. they
stood : to for conviction, and then
two nen changed to the side of the
prisoners
Judge Brawley delivered az i'm
pressive address to the Jurors after
hearing their announcement. During
the course of it he criticised lynch
ings most severely. He said officials
who appointed Baker postmaster
could not escape a share Of the
responsibility for the fearful crime
that had been committed. Continu-
ing, he commented upon the increase
in instances of mob violence that had
become conspicuous during the last
40 years, and he urged upon the
Jurors to go to their homes and to
impress upon the people of Socth
Carolina the necessity of putting q
stop to terrible crimes euch as that
committed at Lake City. The white
people of the State, he said. now
had the control of affairs absolutely
in their hands, and continued in
stances of mob law would be an
everlasting reproach to them.
The prisoners we're notified that
they would all have to give new
bonds and that the case against them
had been placed on the docket for
trial at the next term of the United
States circuit court.

Vicious Negroes
Declare Vendetta.
Their Idea of Getting Even
at Palmetto, Ga.

Atlanta, Ca, April % "A special
from Palmetto, Ga. says Six negroes
Of Palmetto, it is said here. have regis
tered a vow to kill six citizens Of the
town. each negro selecting his victim
and swearing to execute their threats
at the first opportunity. One OF the
negro conspirstors is Sam Hose. and
the victim he selected was Alfred
Crawford, who was chopped to pieces
ten days ago, his vile assaulted. bis
two children brutally treated and his
home robbed.
Dr.. Hal johnson, Rho was active in
securing evidence against the negro
iocepdiaries, has received his warning.
A letter came few days ago saying ne
had been selected By the conspirators
aud would be killed at the first favora-
bic opportunity
H. L Daniel, another citizen Of the
town, has been warned and an ambus.
cade was laid for him several nights
ago. -Four negroes waited several
hours for him TO pass the place where
they were concealed, but by accident
the negroes were discovered. Other
citizens have been threatened with
death, and repeatedly negroes have
rung door bells aud then concealed
themselves, their intention being, is is
asserted, to kill their victim when be
appeared at the door
The vendetta that bas been declared

THE BURNING.

piled.
THE BURNING.
A fame shot upward and spread
quickly over the pile of wood. AS it
licked the negro's legs be shreiked
loudly and began tugging at his
chains As the flames crept higher
and the smoke entered his eyes and
mouth, Hose put the stumps of his
hands to tie tree back of him and
with terrific plunge forward of his
body severed the upper portion of
the chain which bound him to the
tree. His body, held to the tree
oaly as far as the thighs, lunged
forw ard. thus escaping the flames
which roared and cracked about his
feet One of the men nearest the
burning negro quickly ran up and
pushing him back said /:
"Get back into the fire, there" and
quickly coupled the diejointed links
of the chain
The road Tor distance OF hail a
mile on each side of the burning
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 centre were able to
see what was going on. Yell after
yell went up and the progress of the
flames were communicated to those
in the rear by shouts from the eye
witnesses.
HORRIBLE SOUVENIRS.
The torch was applied about half
past 2 and at 8 o'clock the body of
Sam Hose was limp and lifeless. his
head hanging to one side The body
was not cut down. 1t was cut to
pieces. The crowd fought for places
about the smouiderlng tree and with
knives secured such pieces of his
carcass as did not fall to pieces.
The chain was severed by hammers,
the tree was chopped down, and.
with such pieces of frewood as had
not burned. was carried away as
souvenirs.
