termined Citizens Of Alabama.

Birmingham, Ala, Aug S.-John W.

stake near Enterprise before a crowd
OF 800 citizens yesterday. The mob

Mrs. Davis recognized her assa liant
and the negro admitted the assault and
pleaded for mercy. but he was dragged
from the house to the woods near by.
An iron pipe was driven In the ground,
around which bruShwood was piled by
blacks and whites. When the negro
saw his doom he screamed with terror
and fell in faint. He was revived
and dragged to the stake, but had to be
held up while the chains were fastened
around his neck and body. A match
was applied TO the pile, and with oil to
feed upon. the flame soon burst into
roar.
The terrified negro again and again
pleaded for mercy in agonizing tones
ana prayed TO God that those around him
might perish. He then called upon his
maker for forgiveness AMI as the flames
leaped up ana rncircled his neck soon
nothing could be seen but the wlithing
motion in the circle of fire. His body
was quickly consumed, ana the crowd
quietly dispersed.
