NEGROES WANTED TO LYNCH HIM.
About twenty-five or thirty negroes are
alleged to have threatened to lynch JET
ferson Mann in Manchester Monday night
while he was being horsewhipped by An
ME BroadnaX. a negro woman, whom he
is alleged to have offended by knocking
on the door OF her home. It is also al
legged that Mann offended the wife of
"Dink" Light, a colored man. who is
known all over Manchester.
While Mann was being cowhided in Hull
street Monday night, a mob of negroes
gathered about, him and defied him to
strike the woman, who was striking him
over the head and body with the whip.
They would not let him defend himself.
In fact, many of the mob had pistols and
would have done much harm had Mann
attacked the woman. They were infu-
rated over the way the BroadnaN woman
and the wife of 'Dink'' Light had been
treated.
The Broadnax woman went through tbs
streets of Manchester this morning eN>
hibiting the whip with which she had
thrashed the man whom she claims in

The colored woman appeared in Mayor
Maurice's court yesterday. She had
