THE LAKE CITY LYNCHING
The Eleven White Men not TO Again be
put on Trial

Charleston. S. =, April I'm the
United States circuit court today Dis
trict Attorney Lathrop asked for an
order removing the Lake City lynching
case to the contingent docket. This
means that the eleven white men
charged with the murder of Baker,
the negro postmaster at Lake City, will
not be forced to undergo a second trial.
Two years G after a trial lasting for
two weeks the jury failed to agree and
was dismissed. The case was still on
the docket. but the understanding was
that it would be dropped after Lillian
Clayton Jewett took the crippled Bak-
ers to New England.
The defendants in the case were all
prominent citizens from the Lake City
section. On the night of February q,
1898, a mob went to Bakers home, used
also as the p~ostoffice. started a fire with
dry shavings and oil. and fired on the
negro inmates as they fed.
