TWO NEGROES LYNcHED.
4 Couple Of Darkiss Held 10 suspec . for
Numbering n Girl Strung Up
by Mob.

Biloxi, Miss, June 1.-Two negro
men were lynched, possibly for one
mans crime, early yesterday morning
at Mississippi City and il is not abso-
lutely certain that either victim OF
the mob law was guilty. Henry AS
kew and Ed Russ, held as suspects,
were taken out and strung up to
tree in thicket just behind the rail-
road station. The law-abiding people
of this section, while confident of the
necessity of vigorous action, deplore
and condemn the dual lynching. Dis
trict Attorney White had promised
that the prisoners would be brought
to trial on Monday and Saturday at
mass meeting held at this place the
citizens promised to support the dis
trict attorney in his efforts to have
justice done to the prisoners. Early
Saturday night Sheriff Ramsey in or
der to protect Askew and Russ from
mob violence, moved them to a bath
house. After midnight the mob as
sembled near the bath house and af-
ter overpowering deputy sheriff
whom the sheriff had engaged to pro-
tect his prisoners, dragged the two
negroes away. The crowd, which was
supposed to know nothing of the ne.
groes' hiding place, did not stop at
the prison, but went straight to the
bath house. The negroes were tied
back to back and swung up to the
same tree. Their bodies were riddled
with bullets and after death ensued
were set on fire.
On June Christina Winterstein, a
13-year-old school girl, was outraged |
and murdered about two miles from
Biloxi while on her way home from
school exercises. Askew and Russ, |
both of whom had been in the vicinity
Of the place where the outrage was
committed that day, were charged
with the crime.

TO REOPEN THE NEW CASE.
Inc District Court Ordered to Hear the
Application for New Trial Of Con.
victed Murdersrs.

Topeka. Kan, June 1.-THE supreme
court has reopened, to certain ex-
tent, the celebrated murder cases Of
George Dobbs and Amelia New in
GREENWOOD county. The proceedings
here is the granting of a writ of
coram nobis, which is, in effect, an
order to the district court to hear the
application for new trial which that
court has once refused to do, upon q
motion for such rehearing.
This is the outgrowth of the appear
ance in the case Of Alvin Ballard, a
convict, who claims to be able to
prove that Dobbs and Mrs. New are
innocent of the murder of which they
have been convicted and are now sery-
ing life sentence in the peniten-
tiary. The district court will at once
hear again the motion for new trial,
the most important evidence being
that which will be furnished by Bal
lard, now in the penitentiary.
Dobbs and Mrs. New were convicted
two years ago of the murder of Jo-
seph New, who was shot and killed
just outside his house near Eureka,
in October, 1897. The theory was
that DObbs and Mrs. New were in love
and conspired to get rid of her hus.
band so they might marry. Last
year Ballard, who is serving an eight.
year sentence for horse stealing, made |
a statement that Mrs. New and Dobbs
were innocent and that Frank All
good, William Turner and he were the
real murderers.

at the bar Last spring he argued a
case in the court of appeals which he
had successfully fought through the
