Lynched for Assault.

Lynched for Assault.
Scottsboro. Ala, June 3O.-Andrew
Diggs, a negro, was taken from Jail
last night and hanged by a mob.
The negro was arrested Sunday for
an attempt to assault Miss Alma, the
19-year-old daughter of DR.. B. B.
Smith.
The sheriff seized two pistols when
the mob arrived, and mounting the
stairs, said he would kill any one who
attempted to come up. The threat was
met with a volley and the sheriff
emptied his revolver in reply.
One shot took effect in the sher-
IFS right leg and the other in his
pistol arm. The daughter of the sher-
if ran to her father and was at once
covered. by a pistol in the hands of a
member of the mob and made to de-
liver the keys to the cell in which the
negro was confined.
One of the masked men summoned
a doctor, who responded promptly and
dressed the wounds of the sheriff,
which are not dangerous.
The negro made confession to the
brother of the young lady and others
who visited the Jail after his cap
ture.
A special from Stevenson says Gov.
Jelks has been notified of the Scots
boro lynching and has been asked to
order an investigation. Five of the
leaders of the mob were recognized,
and it is thought their arrest will be
made before night.

TO NAME A RECEIVER
FOR SHIPBUILDlNG co.
Judge kirkpatrick Holds That II Ii
Insolvent.

lmHOANenN.
Newark. N. j.. June S0.--Judge Kirk
patrick to-day announced to counsel
representing complaining bondholders
of the United States Shipbuilding
Company that he read all the papers
in the case and had decided that the
corporation is insolvent. and that its
directors had failed TO take proper
steps to protect the bondholders. and
seemed to be without ability to raise
funds. Therefore, in the interest OF
the bondholders. both those who APP
pear here as complainants and all
the others. he said, he would appoint
a receiver and hear counsel as to
whom they may desire him to name.
1t was agreed that the orders should
be signed Immediately and that coun-
sci would have until tomorrow to
agree on a suitable person for the
appointment, but if no agreement Is
reached, the court will name the re-
ceiver tomorrow at 10 o'clock.
Judge Kirkpatrick's opinion. given
out tonight, enters very fully into
the merits of the controversy. After
showing that the corporation is with
out funds, that the directors are un-
able to raise money upon the corr
poration credit to meet maturing OBJ
legations and it is therefore fnsolvent.
the judge goes on to say:
1T would appear that the directors
of the company have abdicated their
powers, and that the company Is drift
ing along without any guidance. Not
only are the directors not striving to
relieve the company from embarrass-
ment, but they are advising the stock
holders to submit to numerous extor-
lions to procure present funds. and
threatening foreclosure to those bond
holders who refuse to relnquish the
security of their mortgages. These peo-
pie are entitled to the protection OF
the court, and that protection can
only be had by the interference of the
court and the appointment of a re-
