HANGED AND BURNED
INDIANA MOB WREAkS VENICE,
ANCE ON NEGRO.
MURDERER CoNFESsES ALL
Infatuated Crowd Ratters in Jail and
Securing Prisoner Draes Him by
Rope to Brdge-Human Bonfire
Follows Tragedy on Bridge Draw
Thousands View Spectacle.

Terre Haute, Ind, Feb. 27.-Justlce,
swift and terrible, was melted out yes
terday to George Ward, the negro who
murdered Ida Finkelstein, the school
teacher Monday. In a few hours al
ter his arrest, an angry mob battered
down the doors of the Jail and dragged
the miserable prisoner to the Wabash
bridge, several squares away, and
hanged him to a bridge draw. Not
content with hanging him, the crowd
cut the corpse down and laying it on
the sand bar under the bridge kindled
a fire and cremated the remains.
Ward was arrested at the car
works, where he was employed as a
laborer and after being identified
made a confession. His only excuse
for the murder was that Miss Finkol-
stein called him a dirty niger and
slapped him in the face. Sheriff Fasig
communicated with Gov. Durbin, but
the mob accomplished its work before
the militia could be ordered out.
Thousands saw the spectacle

and Coke company. Thirty-hye miners
persisted and their charred bodies are
still in the mine. The fire was first
discovered shortly after the night
shift commenced work. Its cause is
not known but the flames made such
progress that only one man escaped.
The fires had already made such pro
gress that it was impossible to enter
the rooms. The entire night was
spent in combining the fire to the two
entries and yesterday morning it was
necessary to seal them up to prevent
the flames from spreading to other
parts of the mine,
This step was decided upon only
after all hope Of saving the lives of
the men had been abandoned. 1t may
be several days before the barbados
can be removed and the chambers eX-
plored. Supt. sheldon believes thirty
five men lost their lives.
