MOB WOULDN'T WAIT.
Hanged Negroes After They
We're Legally Convicted.

Hampstead, Tex, Oct. 22.-After be-
ing tried in legal form and procedure
for criminal assault and murder and
being sentenced to death by hanging,
Jim Wesley and Reddick Barton, ne
groes, were taken from the authorities
of this city and lynched If the public
square by an Infatuated mob.
The district judge yesterday asked the
governor for militia to accompany the
negroes here from the jail at Houston,
where they were safe. At the request
of large number of citizens of Hemp
stead who, it is said signed a written
promise to aid the authorities in pre-
venting any mob act. Judge Thompson
cOuntermanded his request and the
troops did not accompany the negroes.
Barton was first tried. He pleaded
guilty to criminal assault, and then to
the murder of Mrs. Susan Lewis, aged
SO. on SUNDAY October Il. The jury, on
which were several negroes promptly
returned a verdict imposing the death
penalty.
Wesley was then put on trial He
pleaded guilty to assault and then to
TIE murder charge.
While his trial was proceeding a mob
broke into the court room ana attempt
ed to take him, it having been ascer-
tanned that the Sheriff had asked for
troops. The mob was dispersed how
ever, and the trial proceeded, the state
putting through its testimony hurriedly
in corroboratiCn Of the plea of guilty.
In this case. too, the jury imposed the
death penalty. The officers of the court
sat about the room at the conclusion of
the trial awaiting the coming of the
militia, when there was a sudden move
ment on the part of several men in the
/ room; the sheriff was OVerpowered, and
/ Wesley was taken by the mob and hur-
ried away. Another portion of the mob,
While this was going on. attacked the
jail. and the prisoner was surrendered
to them without a struggle. The two
prisoners were hustled to the public
square and there executed by hanging.
Neither Of them had been sentenced, al
though District Judge Thompson had
positively refused to permit them to
waive the thirty days of grace allowed
them by law.
The suggestion to burn the negroes
met with small favor It was the gen
eral desire that they die quickly. They
were hanged to the arm of a telephone
pole, where only last month another
murderer had been hanged by a mob
Sheriff LiscOmb was badly injured in
the back by the rough treatment of the
mob. During the first rush a shot was
| accidentally fired and Sheriff Sparks OF
Lee county was wounded in the stom-
ach though not seriously. The COVER
nor was informed Of the lynching.

INDIAN MISSIONS.
Occupy Attention of the American
Association Delegates.

New London, Conn. Oct. 22.-Reports
and addresses on missions occupied the
attention of the delegates at this morn
ing's session of the convention of the
American Missionary association.
In an address on Indian and Alaskan
missions. Rey- Dwight NJ. Pratt, D. D.,
of Cincinnati. affirmed that the Indian
can never be redeemed and uplifted, and
fitted for the duties and responsibilities
of citizenship by the civil government.
The vast sums expended by the gov
eminent for this purpose in the last
thirty years, he said. in effect had ac-
cOmplished but little. The Indian to-
day IS as much a ward of the nation
he was a generation ago. If the In
dian is ever to be educated to citizen
ship and Christian manhood, If he is
ever to be emancipated from the nur-
sery and from his sWaddlfng clothes
and made an independent and construc-
tive factor in our national life, it must
be through just such vital and eff
fective work as is done by this associa-
ton.
Rev H. A Bridgman. of Massaehus-
etts spoke on missions in Porto Rfeo
He said that modern missionary enter
prise and American Christianity were on
trial in that island. It's governors he
averred, come home and paint in rose
ate colOrs the progress OF American
ideas, the ea gerness of tie people for
self government and their growing sef-
ficioncy therein. But he continued, ask
a Christian leader like Dr. c. J. Ryder
who has spent weeks Investigating
moral conditions not only in the sea
ports, but in the mountain districts. to
tell you what he has seen and heard
and the moral status OF the people will
seem appalling. Centuries of misrule,
the exactions of an oppressive and Of
ten immoral ecclesiastical system, the
baneful influences of a soft tropical eli
mate have produced a people inert,
childish, ignorant and impure. Ameri-
can Christianity has a big task before
it and one demanding the generous out
lay Of money and not less generous Of
fering of consecrated personality.
Chinese missions were considered in a
report and address by Rev Harlan P
Beach D. d, of New Jersey, and a
view Of educa tional work in the south
was presented by Rev. Edward H. By
ington of Massa chusetts.
