A NEGRO CRENATED.
John Wesley Pennington Is Burned
at the Stake by a Mob.
THE WRETCH ASSAULTED A WOMAN.
A Posse Chased the Negro with Blood
hounds and Captured Him in Swamp,
He Was Identified by the Woman
and Confessed to the Crime.

Birmingham, Ala, Aug. S.-John
Wesley Pennington, a negro, was
burned at the stake near Enterprise,
Ala, before crowd of 500 enraged
and determined citizens of Coffee
county yesterday. The mob was
composed of both whites and blacks.
Pennington had committed brutal
assault upon Mrs. j. C. Davis, the
wife of one of the most prominent
farmers of Coffee county, and con-
fessed his guilt. The crime was com
mitted Tuesday afternoon while Mrs.
Davis was gathering vegetables in
her garden. She was choked into in
sensibility and left lying in the gar
den. As soon as she regained her
senses Mrs. Davis crawled to the
house and told her husband what had
happened. A large posse was quickly
organized with bloodhounds and they
chased the negro until early yesterday
morning, when he was captured in
swamp. Pennington was bound hand
and foot and taken back to the Davis
home for Identification. Word of the
assault on Mrs. Davis had been sent
by runners for miles around Enter
prise and every farmer in the neigh
borhood had Joined in the search.
There is not telegraph office in Cot
fee county, but the messengers trav-
eled fast and when the posse arrived
yesterday morning with Pennington
there were at least 500 persons gath
cred near the Davis residence. Mrs.
Davis Immediately recognized him and
the negro broke down and wept. He
admitted having committed the as
sault and pleaded for mercy, but no
mercy was shown. The negro was
dragged from the house and into the
woods Where the crowd had gath
cred. Several of the citizens had
already driven an iron pipe in the
ground and as the men approached
with Pennington both whites and
blacks were piling brushwood around
the stake. The negro saw his doom
and with a scream of terror fell to
the ground in a faint He was quick
ly revived and dragged to the stake,
while the crowd stood silently by.
The frightened man was limp and
had to be held up while the chains
were fastened around his neck and
body. When all was ready the cry
was given and the crowd stood back.
A match was applied to the pile, and
with the oil to feed upon, the tiny
flame soon burst into roaring fire.
The terrorized negro again pleaded
for mercy in the most agonizing tones
and prayed to God that those around
him might perish. He then called
upon his Maker for forgiveness ana
as the flames leaped up and encircled
his neck an unearthly shrek was
heard and the mans eyes almost
bulged out of the sockets. By this
time the fire had gained such head
way that nothing could be seen ex-
cepting wriggling motion in the
center Of the circle of fire A death
" silence followed and in a few min
utes the flames had sufficiently sub
sided to see that Pennington's head
had fallen forward and hung limp
over the iron chain. The body was
quickly consumed and all of PEN
iington that remained was pile OF
ashes. The crowd then quickly dis
persed.
