IAWLESsNEss AND BRuIALlIY

In attempting to Justify the mol
violence and murder that dlsgraced
New Orleans last week. the Centreville
Record a Bryan-Free Silver newspaper
stultihes itself by dealing with the sub
iect from a partisan point Of view and
grossly misrepresentlng the facts. The
truth OF the matter is that many Of the
acts Of the mob were not only disgrace
ful, but also wholly unjustlhable.
A desperate colored man named Rob
ert Charles resisted arrest and shot and
killed a police captain and a patrol
man. He then escaped. His compan-
ion was arrested and lodged in jail.
That was on Monday. The crime nat
.urally aroused public Indignation which
should not have gene beyond dts per-
petrators, for it was their individual
act and no racial question was involved
in IL.
From Monday until Wednesday the
police searched unremittingly and un-
availingly for Charles. On Wednesday
night word was sent out that the
whites would hold a mass meeting in
Lee Circle. Several thousand persons
assembled there and instituted a reign
OF terror, Making a pretense of march
ing to the scene Of the crime, they at
tackled and killed or injured all the
colored persons they found in the
streets. Foiled in an attempt to break
iufo tho rricnn onI Lunch fh..t.-t -
panion.- they sent a shower of bullets
into loaded street cars. wounding
whites and blacks alike in their frenzy
of hate. It was in truth a bloody
march.
The home OF an unoffendng colored
woman was entered and she was shot
dead. Two colored men who had no
connection with the crime were killed
Summed up. six negroes
were killed and ten wounded. while four
whites were killed and twenty wound
ed. Charles inflicted all OF the death
and nearly all of the injury upon the
whites.
The mob also burned a schoolhouseI
devoted 10 the education Of colored
children.
Finally, on Tuesday. Charles was
found and shot to death after he had
killed and wounded several of his pur-
suers. The details Of his killing are tool
revolving to be dwelt upon. That he
deserved death no one seems to deny
but he was entitled to trial by jury
and execution by legal process, to say
the least.
But what Of the other colored per-
sons who had absolutely nothing to dol
with Charles and his crime? Their sole
oifense was that they wore black skins.
and that was sufficient warrant in the
eyes of the mob for the inniction of
the death penalty or serious personal
injury. Surely no self-respectng news
paper will uphold such lawlessness and

Michael Farrell, While Intoxicated
Decided That lie Would
Like to Die

Michael Farrell. employed as a cigar
maker at Samuel Hawkins factory. No.
6lO Market street. attempted to end his
life at an early hour this morning bv
stnbhing himself With a cigarmaker's
knife.
Farrell boarded at the Hotel Western.
Fourth and Orange streets. About &
o'clock this morning Edward Krause.
proprietor Of the hotel, and David Cra-
mer, bartender, were awakened by groaus
proceeding from Farrell's room. Proceed
ing to the apartment they found Farrell
writing in pain with a bloody knife in
his hand.
WOUNDS ARE SERIOUS.
Mr.. Krause and Cramer at once over
powered the man and took the knife from
him. The police were summoned and
Farrell sent to the police station
Upon examination by Police Surgeon
a. b. Harris and DR.. Robinson. il was
found that Farrell had three stab wounds
upon his body. one was located in the
throat, one directly over the heart. and a
third just below it,
The wound over the heart is a danger
ous one and penetrated to the depth of an
inch and half. The point of the knife
struck rib and that alone prevented tin,
heart from being pierced. Both the other
thrusts also struck a bone turning the
knife from its original course.
KNIFE BLADE BROKEN.
The instrument with which Farrell at
tempted to end his life was an ordinary
cigarmaker's knife. The point of if is
broken of about a half inch from the
end and it is the opinion of the physicians
that portion Of the blade remains in ths
mans body. The wounds were dressed
temporarily at the police station and
Farrell was sent to the Delaware state
Hospital at Farnhurst. where it will be
necessary to reopen the wounds and make
thorough examination. DIR. Harris has
but little hopes for Farrells recovery.
Farrell is travelling cigarmaker and
says he comes from New England. On
June %, last. he applied to Mr. Hawkins
Tor work and was given employment. He
worked until July 4. when he got on a
spree and stayed away about n week. He
was again employed, but for the past
week has been off, although has drunk
nothing. Noticing his condition from
the result of intoxication, Mr.. Krause re-
fused him drink in the hotel and il is
thought that Farrell was laboring under
temporary mental alteration when he at
tempted the deed. Farrell is SO years of
age and unmarried.
