BURN CROSSES ON A
WIFE BEATER'S BODY.
White Caps In New York Afflict Terri

BILE Punishment
Albany, N. Y, Jan. 15.-Whitecaps
xaylaid John McQuade, OF 100
Spruce street, stripped him of all bis
clothing, rolled him in snowbank
and then, with a red-hot poker, drew
two crosses on his abdomen and
back.
McQuade is in Homeopathic Hos
pital. He will carry his scars to the
grave, even though he fully RECEIVERS,
which is considered doubtful.
He beat his wife last Friday night.
1t was not the first time he had done
It, and residents Of the neighborhood
had become exasperated over hear
ing her frequent calls for help.
There Is social club OF youngmen
near McQuade's house. Members Of
the club, it ia said, decided to give
him lesson when his latest attack
upon his wife became known.
When McQuade was near his house
a dozen stalwart young fellows leap
ed out from che shadows and quickly
surrounded him. Before he wasfully
aware OF what was happening he was
stripped OF his clothes and exposed
to the heavy snowstorm raging at
the time.
"We1l teach you to hit your wife
again." said one OF the whitecaps,
striking McQuade a heavy blow in
the face.
This was the signal for general
assault. Sticks and fist were used
and soon McQuade was bleeding
from a score OF wounds. Then he
was dragged over the snow covered
ground to deserted lot and rolled
down an embankment. Some OF the
whitecaps ran into a house near by
and heated a poker red hot. Some
say that the whitecaps heated the
poker in McQuades own house, to
make the punishment more bitter
Then the poker was applied to his
body. McQuade shriked for mercy.
His flesh broke and there was siz
cling sound as the iron traced its
way across his naked body.
First one long scar came to view
| and then another. THIS formed the
cross on the abdomen.
The painful operation was repeated
on the mans back. Again he cried
for mercy.
"You gave your wife no mercy,
was the reply. "Try little OF this
yourself"
At the hospital to-day McQuad'
was asked to give the names OF hi'
assailants, he having previously sai(
he recognized them.
"I'll tell you nothing about them,
said the man, sullenly.
81 know who they are but I'll keel
their names to myself. I'll say moth
ing at all about 'em."

meeting of citizens to protest
against lawlessness in that county

law shall be more strictly en-
forced in that county. We re-
call that the attorneys of James

he transferred to that county be-
cause its citizens were law abid-

What can be the trouble when
prominent citizens call for q

law is enforcedz We have seen
nothing in the newspapers to in
dicate that there is a reign of

Negro LynChed By Negroes
For killing Three Negroes.
An Affair in Louisiana Entirely
Out of the Usual Run
Slaughtered "Just For
Fun"

Shreveport, La, Nov. a.
Joseph Craddock, a negro, was
lynched by an .nfuriated mob,
composed of blacks, at Taylors-
town, about II miles from Shreve-
port, last night. Craddcck kills
ed two inoffensive colored men
and fatally injured another. He
approached the home of Wesley
Chambers, negro cotton picker,
and called him out. After :whis.
pering to him and as Cham bers
turned to leave, Craddock split
his head with an axe. Then Grad
dock mutilated the body of the
dying man frlghtfully.
Then observing Dan Washing
ton, another negro, he crept up
on him and struck him in the head
with the edge of the axe. Not
satisfied with this, he went to the
door of the cabin and called Cham
bers' brother, Mercer, to the
door. Mercer unsuspectingly
came and was at once beaten down
and frlghtfully injured. Wesley
Chambers died almost instantly;
Mercer died this evening and
Washington cannot live.
After committing the triple
murder Craddock walked to Tay-
lorstown and mingled with the
negroes there, boasting of his
crime. He appeared perfectly
unconcerned and said he killed
the men 'just for fun"
Craddock was captured by d
small posse Of white men, but a
crowd of about 800, mostly me-
groes, took possession of him and
at once hanged him to a tree and
burned his body beneath it.

flowers, and confectionaries of all
kind, last but not least, huge
fruit-caks, with the ring, thimble,
key, button and penny. The ring
is for wealth within the year, the
button for a sweet heart, the
thimble for an old maid or bache-

solute silence was obtained while
Mrs. John M. Perry cut the first
slice Of cake. Then every one
took slice dreading that their
fate would be to get the thimble,
yet hoping that it would be their
luck to get the ring, but of course
some one had to get the thimbIe
as all FIVE articles were cooked IN
