urday ended to-day in the burning at the
stake of Dudley Morgan, colored. who as
saulted Mrs. Mckee. wife of a Texas &
Pacific section foreman at Lansing, Tex.
When it was learned that the negro had
been captured and was being taken to
Lansing for identification the excitement
of the people knew no bounds By IL
o'clock this morning great throngs had
gathered at the Lansing switch and ar
rangements were made to burn the negro.
Just before IL o'clock the train bearing the
prisoner and his captors arrived in Mar
shall and was met by great crowd of
people. Many more boarded the train at
Hallville and when it reached Lansing ev-
cry available place on it was occupied.
Waiting at Lansing was another large
country.
The negro was not taken from the train
on the side where the crowd was, and when
the engineer started to pull out several
Winchesters were leveled at him and others
of the train crew. They were told if they
moved the train an inch they would all be
killed. The prisoner was identified by Mrs.
Mckee, and by several negroes who worked
on the section with Morgan. Mrs. Mckee
said they had the right man and the negro
was escorted by about 200 men. armed with
Winchesters. to the place of execution. AS
he was chained to the stake he made a
statement in which he implicated another
negro named Franklin Heard. saying Heard
was TO get part of the money which was to
be stolen.
Morgan confessed to having committed
the crime, and after he had been securely
chained TO the stake, or rail, with his
hands and legs free, the members of the
mob began TO take railroad ties from a fire
already started and burn out his eyes They
then held the red-hot and burning timbers
TO his neck, and. after burning his clothes
OF to other parts of his body. The negro
screamed in agony. He was tortured in a
slow and painful manner, with the crowd
clamoring continuously for a slow death,
and the negro. writhing and groaning, beg
ged piteously to be shot
Mrs. Mckee was brought TO the scene in
a carriage, accompanied by four other
women, and an effort was made 10 get the
carriage close enough for her to see the
negro The crowd was so dense, however,
that this was impossible.
Persons held each other on their should
ers, taking turn about looking at the awful
sight. The negros head finally dropped and
the ties were piled around and over him.
In half an hour only the. trunk of his body
remained. AS soon as the heat would per-
NIT the crowd with long sticks began a
grewsome search for relics. Parts of his
skull and body were gathered up by some
and carried away.
AS the fire died down the crowd took the
two men who first caught the negro and
held them over their heads. while they held
their Winchesters in their hands and were
photographed. From the time the first fire
was applied TO the negro's body until the
