VICTIMS Of A MOB.
Negro and White Man Lynched al
Emporia, Va, After Troops
Are Withdrawn.

Richmond, Va, March ga mob
which for 36 hours had surged around
the little jail at Emporia, Greenesville
county, Va, about noon Saturday Sc
cured the opportunity for which it
thlrsted, dragged two prisoners forth
and hanged them to the same limb,
filling the body of one with bullets as
he hung writing and gasping in the
air. The two men were Walter Cotton,
a negro, who on Thursday shot two
officers who were attempting to arrest
him for burglary, and a white man
who aided Cotton in the robbery, but
was not implicated in the murder.
AS soon as the two prisoners were
lodged in Jail mob began to gather
for the avowed purpose of lynching
Cotton, and it quickly assumed for
midable proportions. It was under the
leadership of ex-Judge R. P. Barham,
of Greenesville county. The sheriff and
judge, becoming alarmed, telegraphed
Gov. Tyler for troops. A company
was sent on special train, but the
murmurs of the people became so loud
that the sheriff ordered the soldiers
home and the governor approved his
order.
The troops had been gone but a
short time when the mob rushed on
the Jail. The deputy in charge made
a formal resistance-that is, he en-
tered protest. The men were deter
mined, however, to lynch Cotton and
decided to execute him in broad day
light as lesson to all who would
commit crime. There was consider
able delay in getting the prisoner I'M
chained. He was led out of the prison
with a rope about his neck. The man
was so frightened that he could not
speak.
The negro was dragged through the
crowd to tree between the court
house and the Bank of Greenesville. An
active youth climbed to the first limb,
placed the end over the branch and
dropped it to the crowd. "Now. every
body pull said some one, and many
willing hands hoisted the murderer
from the ground. Several bullets were
fired into the Negroes body.
A cry went up for the life of O'Grady,
the white man. A rush was made for
the Jail. The negroes in the mob were
especially loud in demanding that
O'Grady be lynched. "You have killed
the negro, now lynch the white man"
they demanded. Former Judge George
p. Barham, who had led the mob that
lynched Cotton, made a speech to the
crowd. He said that Cotton was a
confessed murderer while O'Grady
claimed to be innocent. Lets give him
a chance to prove that he is not guilty.
said the judge.
"We know he is guilty." replied
scores of voices. Col. Field, of Peters
burg, also begged the mob not to act
hastily. These pleadings were of no
avail and the mob again broke into the
Jail and brought ,O'Grady out with a
rope about his neck. He was hanged
to the tree where Cotton had been
lynched. Most of those pulling the
rope were negroes. He soon expired
from strangulation.
