Corinth. Miss, Sept. 20. -writhing
IN the flames Of fagots piled high by
hundreds OF citizens, Tom Clark. alias
viii Gibson. young negro. was
',urled at the stake here yester-
lay. Clark had confessed to one Of
the most atrocious assaults and mur-
ders in the history OF Mississippi and
said that he deserved his awful fate.
On August 10 last Mrs. Carrie Whit
field. the wife of a well-known citizen,
was found dead in her home. Inves-
tigation showed that the lady had been
assaulted. Her head was practically
severed from her body.
The prisoner heavily manacled. was
taken from the Jail by posse Of armed
men and followed by a large crowd
was led to the east gate of the negro
cemetery. which Is situated in the west
ern part Of the city. Faggots and wood
had been piled high around the stake
and the negro was securely fastened
to the iron rod. Clark was asked II
he cared to make statement. He said
that he deserved the fate prepared for
him and asked that a letter be deliv-
cred to his mother and brother. He
appealed to his brother to raise his
children properly, admonishing them
to beware of evil companions. Finally
the word was given to fire the pile,
The husband and brother Of Clark's
victim stepped forward and applied
torches, and in moment the flames
leaped upward, enveloping the trem-
bling negro in smoke and fire. The
clothing OF the doomed man was soon
ignited and as the flames grew hotter
his skin began to parch. The negro
moaned piteously at this juncture and
the agonized look on his face told ol
the torture he was undergoing. Fl
nally his head fell forward on his
breast and in a few minutes he was
dead. The flames were fed by the
crowd until the body was burned to 9
crisp. Then the gathering disburset
in an orderly manner and the towr
soon assumed its normally quiet CON
dition.

Coming east to Boston some time ago
Senator Warren of Wyoming Travelled

trunk, 1t contained many valuable
costumes. belonging to his wife and his
own outfit, so that its loss was no
small matter. He struggled for some
time to find trace of the trunk, but
without success, nor could be secure
any reimbursement. His method OF
getting even was unique.
Upon returning to Cheyenne ne
placed q watchman in the railroad
yards with instructions to report the
arrival of the first freight car bearing
the name of the road upon which he
had travelled. In a day or two the
watchman gave the necessary informa-
,tion Senator Warren ut once went
before local magistrate and sued out
an attachment upon the freight car
Then he wired to the railroad officials
stating what he had done, and awaited
results.
In less than three hours came dis
patch saying that check for the value
of the missing trunk had been forward
ed to him, and asking him to let the
freight car proceed upon Its way. Then
