No Attempt Made by JaiIers or Police
to Prevent the Mob Putting the
Negro to Death.
ROW AT A CHRISTMAS DANCE
WHICH RESULTED IN THE KILLING
OF POLICEMAN HINKLE,
And Later i'm the Hanging Of His Al
legged Slayer-An Enraged Hus-
bands Terrible Crime.

PITTSBURG, Kan, Dec. 25.-Montgom-
cry Cooley (colored) was taken from the
Pittsburg jail to-day by crowd Of ruffians
who hanged him, cut his throat and again
hanged him. The outlaws who lynched
Cooley said they believed the negro had
deliberately murdered Policeman Milton
Hinkle early this morning at Christmas
dance. Cooley had been in Jail but two
hours when the mob seized him.
The victim of the mob was given short
hearing in the jailyard before he was exc
cuted. He did not confess the murder, but
the lynchers carried him three blocks from
the Jail without the slightest interference
from the jailers or police. A rope was Sc
cured and Cooley was hanged to = tele-
phone pole, in spite of his pleas for mercy
and protestations of innocence. The negro
struggled and the rope broke. AS Cooley
struck the ground a man seized him by
the throat. The negro again protested his
innocence and begged for a trial. The
murderer's only answer was to draw a
clasp knife across Godley's throat, severing
the jugular vein. Again the mob seized
the expiring victim and this time hanged
corpse.
The death of the policeman occurred at
daylight and by the time the bells in the
church steeples were pealing forth their
Christmas chimes the bloody corpse of the
negro charged with, but not proved guilty
of, shooting the policeman, gioated the eyes
of the rabble in the streets of Pittsburg.
The murder of Policeman Hinkle, as far
as known to the police, was due to his at
tempt to subdue a number of negroes at
a Christmas dance. The ball had gone on
all night and many of the men were drunk
when morning came. Most Of the dancers
were miners. Montgomery and Joseph
Cooley were two of the more unruly
revelers Officer Hinkle requested them to
be quiet. The Cooley brothers answered
him In an insolent manner and he tried to
arrest them. They resisted and officer
Hinkle blew his whistle for help. Then
he began to use his club in order to protect
himself. He was holding his own against
three men when a negro, said to have been
Montgomery Cooley, grabbed the officers
revolver from the holster and shot Hinkle
behind the right ear. Hinkle died soon
afterward. Other officers pursued the ne
groes. The Cooley brothers were the only
two captured, and they were put in jail
The news of the murder spread and soon
crowd gathered about the Jail. Cries of
Hang him." Burn him." Get q roper'
were heard on every side. An attempt
was first made to rob Marshal Higgins of
his keys to the Jail, but he did not have
them. The doors were then kicked and
beaten In.
