Wilmington, Del, June 23.-All is
quiet in this community today foil ow-

White, Helen Bishops confessed
SLAYER, at an early hour this morn
ing. Of the mob of nearly 5000 that
overpowered the authorities, stormed
the Newcastle county wOrkhouse and
dragged from cell the trembling
wretch and burned him to the stake,
the identity of only one is publicly
known. That person is little Peter
Smith, twelve years old, who fell
when the workhouse guards fired
volley into the ranks of the attacking
mob. The lad was struck by a
bullet which, entered his back and
which is though to have penetrated
his kidneys. At the Homeopathic
hospital, where the injured boy was
taken, the physicians stated this morn
ing that he wasi in a serious con-
dition.
After the mob had completed its
awful work of vengeance, the body OF
the negro ravisher and murderer was
left chained to the stake with the fire
burning all around and the members
of the lynching party went home. A
rain, which began falling later, ex-
tinguished the fire and at daylight
the charred body still hung there,
limp, in plain sight of passersby.
Public sentiment here 50 far as ex
pressed appears to approve the lynch
ing of White and it is not believed
