pliclty in the murder of John Gray
Foster, We're taken out by mob last
night and strung up to tree. They
were left dangling side by side, The
lynching occurred on the Arkansas
road, about one mile and half from
the jail. Both negroes made state
ments before death, denying that they
had anything to do with the killing.
Smith, who was the head of the
Church of Cod movement in that
section, and was blamed as being re-
sponsible for the sentiment against the
whites which led to the death of Eos
ter, died praying. AIcI.and was silent
as he was strung UP.
As Smith was being led from the
jail prior to the execution he was
heard to say: Lord. you promised to
be with me now" There were about
200 armed men in the mob, and they
overpowered the sheriff and jailer,
taking the keys away from them. The
lynchers claimed that the execution of
these negroes was necessary to the
preservation of the lives of the white
men in this locality.

Ono Spectator of the Tragedy.
FEARFUL BLOW TO JOHN HAY,
Father of the Dead Man See. tho Body and
Is Frustrated.


New Haven, Conn. June 24.-Hon.
John Hay, secretary of state, worn by
the trip from Washington to New
Haven, and nearly Frustrated by grief
at the untimely end of his eldest son,
reached this city at 5:45 p. M. yester-
day. He gave evidence of extreme IA
tigue and the mental agony incident
upon his great affiiction was unmistak-
ably written on his features. The sec
rotary Immediately entered carriage
and was driven in great haste to the
residence of Mr.. Seth Alosely. In the
drawing room of the house reposed the
remains of the dead son. In the pres
ence of the beloved dead Colonel HAY
utterly collapsed, and Frustrated by his
great grief took to his bed. DIR. Sam
uel ID. Gilbert was summoned and adj
ministered to the patient.
Scarcely more than an hour passed
before Miss Helen Hay, daughter
of the family, well-nigh Frustrated by
the shock of the sad news, was at her
fathers bedside. Last evening dis
patches were received containing the
intelligence that Mrs. Hay, the be-
reaved mother, and daughter, Miss
Alice Hay, We're en- route from New
bury. Clarence Hay, the younger son,
arrived this morning from Simsbury,
Conn.,, where he has been at school.
DR.. Gilbert, who is Mt the bedside of
the secretary, announces that the in.
disposition Of Colonel Hay is not Sc
rious, adding that he is simply over
whelmed with grief and that the pros
tration will disappear after sufficient
rest. The triennal class of '9S. of
which Adelbert Hay was member,
has gone into mourning.
Adelbert Stone Hay was the eldest
son of the secretary of state and was
born while the latter was living in
Cleveland, O. He was % years old.
He was educated in the private schools
of Cleveland and prepared at st. PauPs
academy In Concord. N. H., for Yale.
AT the university he was Il popular
student. He was six feet high and an
athlete. His public career began when
he was appointed United States consul
at Pretoria while that place was held
by the Beers, and young as he was
he so bore himself that he won the
respect of both Briton and Boer in a
situation where the utmost delicacy.
honor and tact was necessary. There
was no money in It," He spent both
his own and his fathers salary the
year he was there, mostly In charity.
Then as soon as the emergency was
over he resigned the post and came
home.
