THE CRIME.
Wilmington, Del, June 22-The crime
for which White was lynched was one
of the most revolving in the criminal
Iannals of Delaware. The victim, Miss
Helen S. Bishop, daughter of Rev. z. a.
bishop. D. D., superintendent Of the
Ferris Industrial School, would have
been eighteen ears old next October.
she vas a student of the Wilmington
High School and was OF her way from
the school last Monday afternoon when
she was attacked. The industrial
school, which is -four miles from here,
where he parents made their home is,
iabout th~ree-quarterS Of a mile from
Prices Corner. where the girl usually
left the trolley car when h came to
school. Late Monday afternoon a farm
Ter working in the field saw a young
woman stagger and fall in the road.
She got un and fell again and then she
tried to crawl. The farmer and his
Isons went to her assistance, but whenI
they reached the girl she was lying I'M
conscious in the road. They found herI
to be Miss Bishop. She had three ugly
lgashes in her throat, her body was
badly scratched and her clothing was
torn in many places. In n hand She
lclutched a small pen knife which she
fused at school in sharpening pencils
There was every evidence that Miss
bishop had made a desperate resistance
lin defense of her honor, and her life.
The wounded girl was taken home andl
died the next afternoon without re-
lgaining consciousness.
The entire neighborhood was almost
instantly aroused and a man hunt was
Immediately instituted. Suspicion was
lsoon fastened on George F. White, a.
NEGRO, Just out of the workhouSe, who
engaged as a laborer on the farm
Iof Edward Woodward, near the scene
iof the assault.
White was found in bed that sameI
might and when taken into custody de-
lnied all knowledge of the crime. He
was identified by several persons who
said they saw him in the vicinity.
a knife which Mr.. Woodward said
belonged to him, was found where the
girl was assaulted. White was brought
Ito Wilmington, but later was trans
|ferred to the county workhouse where
the police officials said he would be
safe from mob violence.
