murderer was Mel Clemens, about the
same age, employed as section fore
man on the Iowa Central railway. The
two had quarrel Saturday evening,
Clemon stating that Berghduf had

kill Berghduff At the time of the
murder Berghduff, with two compan-

street, when Clemens approached
unobserved. Without warning Glenn
ens pulled a short bar of steel from
under his coat and struck his victim
over the left temple, crushing the skull
and knocking him down. He then
jumped on him and pushed the bar
through his left eye and into the
brain. Berghduff was taken into a
surgeons office, where he died at IL

So bitter was the feeling aroused
over the murder that mob quickly
formed and search for the murderer
instituted. The officers anticipated

+. ID. McLand, held at Benton for COM
plicity in the murder of John Gray

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 God" 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. McLand 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 ia
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.

1t is generally supposed, however,
that after going to his room he went to
the window for air, and that, sitting
on the sill he dozed off, overbalanced
and fell to the pavement below, fall
of fully sixty feet. The fall resulted
in instant death, and within fifteen

There was solitary spectator to the

streets. At the hour mentioned the
workman saw the form of man fall
ing through space. An instant later
there was sickening thud. and the
body lay directly in front of the main
hotel entrance. The Mortified laborer
rushed to the spot, and his shouts
brought others. The usual crowd gath
cred. In it were several belated Yale
graduates. They bent over the body.
One OF them, Julian Mason, son of
the late Edward G. Mason, of Chi
cago, and a classmate of young Hay,
drew back and horror-stricken cried:
"My God, it's Del Hay" BY this time
the hotel clerk had reached the scene
and made the identification complete.
