by Grow, Witherup said that he
killed Grow in self-defense and did
not know how many times he struck
Inn, but was positive that he did
not kill him the first time.
Witherup said he did not know
what became of Crows watch and
money, and denied that he had
killed boy in Kansas.
Witherup was the most composed
man in the crowd, and talked us
quietly and nationally as though he
was speaking in private converse
ton. He was not nervous or excited
in the least, did not beg or plead for
anything whatever, but met death
bravely and without evidence of
fear.
After he was done speaking, his
hands and arms were tied behind
him and he was ordered to get upon
the railing and jump off.
He replied very calmly that he
could not do so with his feet tied.
He was lifted up and placed on the
top railing, where he sat for a
moment.
AT exactly 2 II. M, Stephen Grow,
the dead boys father, gave Witherup
push which sent him far out into
the air and into eternity.
He died painless death and did
not make struggle, as his neck was
broken in the fall.
For some time his body swung to
and fro like a pendulum, and he
hung in the air between the bridge
and the river until s o'clock Sunday
morning, when the Coroner, arrived.
Fully 200 people witnessed the
hanging. The hanging is generally
deplored by the majority of the
citizens of Paris.
Not citizen of Paris participated
in the hanging. The mob came from
the country.
Prosecuting Attorney McAllister,
when asked as to what action would
be taken, said:
~ am in possession of the names
of all the men who took an active
part in the hanging of Witherup.
These names are given by two OF
three of the best and most reliable
citizens of the county, who an
nounced their willingness to testify
upon prosecution of the guilty
parties"

Obstinacy.

An obstinate man does not hold
opinions, but they hold him; for
when he is once possessed with an
error it is like a devil, only cast
out with great difficulty. What
soever he lays hold on, like a
drowning man, he never looses,
though it do but help to sink him
sooner. His ignorance is abrupt
and inaccessible, impregnable both
by art and nature, and will hold
out to the last, though it has
nothing but rubbish to defend. 1t
is as dark as pitch, and sticks to
anything it lays hold on. His
skull is so thick that it is proof
against any reason, and never
cracks bnt on wrong side, just
opposite to that against which the
impression is made, which surgeons
say does happen very frequently.
The slighter and more inconsist-
ent his opinions are the faster he
holds them, otherwise they would
fall asunder of themselves; for
opinions that are false onght to
be held with more strictness and
assurance than those that are true,
otherwise they will be apt to betray
their owners before they are aware.
He delights most of all to differ
in things Indifferent; no matter
how frivolous they are, they are
weighty enough in proportion to
his weak judgment; and he will
rather suffer self-martyrdom than
part with the least scruple of his
freehold; for it is impossible to
dye his dark ignorance into any
lighter color. He is resolved to
understand no mans reason but
his own, because he finds no man
can understand his but himself.
His wits are like sack, which the
French proverb says is tied faster
before it is full than when it is
and his opinions are like plants
that grow upon rocks, that stick
fast though they have no roofing
} His understanding is burdened
like Pharaoh's heart, and is proof
against all sorts of judgment:

though some damage has been done
by the washing of rolling land and

thoroughly moistened To consider

southeastern counties, where the
rainfall was light, wheat, oats, gras-
ses and other growing crops are now
suffering seriously from drouth,

done by local hailstorms.

where cultivation has progressed
favorably, and the crop is making

ing is not quite completed in some

siderable replanting will be neces-

Cotton. in the southeastern counties,
is growing well, as are also melons.
Some melons have been laid by.
Flax, in the southwestern counties,

Wheat is suffering for rain in some
of the southeastern counties, but
elsewhere it continues exceptionally
promising, as a rule, though there
is some complaint that it is lodging
on rich ground, and in a few of the
southwestern counties rust has ap-
peared. Oats are not doing well in
some localities, but in general their
progress has been very satisfactory
and the earliest are now heading.
Reports regarding meadows indicate
that while an average yield of hay
is promised in many localities, the
crop as a rule will be light. The
acreage was considerably reduced
as result of last seasons drouth
and in many of the old meadows the
stand is thin, permitting the growth
of weeds. Alfalfa is doing well.
Considerable mlllet has been sown.
Pastures are IN excellent condition,

counties. Potatoes and gardens are
doing finely, except in some of the
southeastern counties, where they
are suffering from drouth. Apples
promise fair to good crop in some
districts but in most sections the
crop will be light. Many orchards
in the central and northern counties
have been completely stripped Of

SUNDAY LYNCHING AT PARIS.
Abe Witherup Taken From Jail
and Hanged by a Mob.

ADranam WlUnerup, WHO was dc-
,cused of numbering William Grow,
on April H. 1902 was taken from the
Paris, Mo-, Jail by mob and hanged
at o'clock last Sunday morning.
On Saturday Witherup was ar
ranged before Judge Eby and his
trial set for June 30. 1t had been
rumored that mob would be ready
to take him from the officers as he
was being taken from the Jail to the
Court house, but the officers eiuded
1t by having him arraigned at the
early hour of 8 a. M, before the
arrival of the men in town.
This, together with the postpone
ment of the trial, until such a late
date, so incensed Grows friends that
they decided to lynch the man.
Stephen Grow, father of the muir
dered boy, went to the Sheriff and
demanded that he hand over the
Jail keys, saying that the crowd did
not desire trouble or to hurt any one,
but that they intended to have
Witherup at any cost. The Sheriff
, refused to deliver the keys and
pleaded with them to let the law
| take its course.
The crowd dispersed, and it was
thought that it had returned home,
but it went to the eastern part of
town and there organized for an
attack on the officers and the Jail.
Nine men were appointed to over
power and disarm the officers. Then
they marched to Smiths blacksmith
shop and secured sledgehammers
and iron bars with which to force an
entrance to the jail.
When they were within several
feet of the Jail the men were COM
manded to halt and advance no
further. Instead of needing this,
they rushed upon the officers before
they had time to shoot, and over
powered and disarmed them.
The officers had previously hidden
the keys and refused to deliver them.
Both Sheriff Clark and Deputy
Sheriff Clark were injured, though
not seriously, in the struggle that
ensued.
Several men stood guard over them
while others attacked the outer jail
door with sledgehammers.
} 1t did not take long to force an
entrance to Witherup's cell. A
2 large rope was Immediately placed
around the murderer's neck.
AT this juncture, j. III. White
cotton, Speaker of the last House
of Representatives, forced his way
into the jail and pleaded with the
i mob in behalf of justice, themselves
Y their families and the good name OF
t Monroe County to desist.
He told them that ne had refused
J. to defend Witherup, and that he
l. would not only refuse to defend any
;. member of the mob, but would assis
I in their prosecution.
= The mob was powerful and de
:, termined and the officers and White
cotton were powerless to check it
