Of Five Hundred whites
Appeals Ignored

The brutal murder of Mr.. and Mrs.
Taliferro, Mt Carrollton, Miss, on the
night of July 80, led on the following
evening to the lynching Of Betsic Nc
Cray, her son, BelHeld McCray, and
daughter, Ida McCray, all colored.
The mob was composed of about 500
white citizens of Carroll county, who
marched to the Jail in order, demand
ed the keys from Jailer Duke, proceed
ed to the cells of the unfortunate ne
groes, bound them by the neck and
hands and took them to the corporate
limits of the town, where they hanged
them to n tree by the public roadside
ard riddled their bodies with bullets.
The mob resisted the earnest appeals
of Judge w. +. Stephens and Hon. w.
y. Hill, who stood on the steps Of the
Jail and appealed to the mob in The
name of law and order. They " fol-
lowed the mob to the cell doors with
their arms around the necks OF the
leaders, pleading with them to let the
law take its course, but with no effect.
Ida McCray confessed to the know.
ledge of the murder and stated that
her mother, Betsie, n her brother,
Belfeld, helped commit the murder.
She further implicated others, who
will probably meet a like fate. Betsie
McCray refused to make any statement.
Gov. A. II Longino arrived at the
scene by special train from Jackson a
few minutes after the %lynching. He
addressed u large and attentive audi
ence at the court house, impressing on
them the duties of their citizenship
and obedience to law and order. The
best citizens of the county, among
them were w. +. Stephens, Hon. w.

all during the day to allow the law to
take it's course, but without avail.
There was m that troops were
ordered to Carrollton, but they did not
arrive prior to the lynching. There
are reports that others may be lynched.

table, some years ago, undertook TO.
quiet a restless child by making for
him little figures which she modelled
from bread crumbs rubbed between
her fingers. The rapidly growing pro-
cession OF Noah's-ark animals at
tracted the attention OF a gentleman
opposite. 1t was the sculptor Thomas,
Ball, who afterward told the girl she
had unusual talent, took her to his
own studio. and taught her to model
In clay and afterward to work in
marble. An interesting side-light on
the pretty incident is that the young
girl had nodded her figures undis-
turbed by a tableful OF witnesses, and.
on the other hand. Mr.. Ball seated her
in the studio with her back toward
his own chair. because he could not
