I'm innocent. / didn't kill white
man named Wilson"
These was the last words of Charles
craven, before he was lynched by mob
OF white men, July 3lst, 1902 at Lees
burg, Va. Time has demonstrated that
he told the truth and another fearful
blunder has been added to the long list
which viii sooner or later confront the
devotees of Judge Lynch.
PRESUMED GUILTY,
William II. Wilson, a farmer was
found dead and all indications nointod
TO murder. Craven was presumed to
have been guilty of the crime. With
no other evidence, this presumption was
changed TO conviction and he was hun

dragged 60 the place ofhis execution. On
the way there, he was beaten almost to
death. Blow after blow was ralned up.
ON him, until il is said that he was
almost unconscious when he reached
the end of his journey.

present in this issue, was taken shortly
after the mob left him and is a mute
