The officers were permitted to take
the prisoner to the young woman's
home where she IT nee identified him.
ON the way back to the Jail the mob
suddenly closed in and secured the
prisoner. Hurrying him to the court
house yard he was 500 dangling from
the limb of a tree.
Miss Powell is Is years old and was
on her way home from school when the
negro sprang out from the roadside and
seized her. She reached home finally
in n daZed condition and officers later
captured the negro. A mob made an
