Delaware's Governor Greatly Dis
tressed Over the Doings
at Prices Corner.
TROOPS ASKED FOB MUCH TOO LITE
Sensational Words of a Presbyterian
Preacber-Other CIergymen
Denounce Mob Law.

Dover, Del, June "a. Governor
HUM appeared greatly distressed over
the iynching Of the negro White.When
pressed for statement, he said:
There is. nothing to say now. Let the
people become calm once more and re-
feet upon what has been done in q
great frenzy of excitement. l shall
confer with the attorney general to see
what course we can take" 1t was
learned that the governor received a
telegram at 11:30 p. m. Monday from
j. Newlin Gawthrop, president Of the
trus lees Of the Newcastle county work
house, and David ]. Reinhardt, solici-
tor of the city of Wilmington. 1t read
as follows: Call militia out at once
to protect workhouse property. AL
ready entered by mob of 2,000." 1t
was then too late for the governor to
take such action, as the troops could
not have reached the scene in time to
prevent the lynching.
Wrestling of tho Scriptures.
Wilmington, Del, June "a. = Rev.
Robert a. Elwood, pastor of the Olivet
Presbyterian church, p cached a sensa-
tional sermon Sunday Oh the probable
lynching of White. He took his text
from Corinthians Y, 13: Therefore
put away from among ourselves that
wicked person." After referring to a
speedy trial for the negro, guaranteed
by the constitution, Rev. Elwood said
that the middle of September next was
not a speedy trial (that was the time
fixed by the court. Then he said: "Oh,
honorable judges, call the court, estab-
lish a precedent, and the girls of this
state, the wives of the homes and
the mothers of our fi.eside, ard n"-
beloved sisters, will not be sorry, and
neither will YOU"
Invitation to the Mob.
After declaring that If the judges
did not make a precedent, call an ex-
ira session Of the court and railroad
the criminal to his doom they would
be responsible for a lynching the
preacher said: SHOULD the murderer
of Miss Bishop be lynched? Yes, but
only under one conuaiol, and tl.at is
this-if his trial shall be delayed until
| September, and then, though he be
proven guilty, through some technical
| ity of the law or any undue influence
upon either judges or jury he be not
given capital lpunishment-then the cit
izens of the state should arise in their
might and execute the criminal, and
thus uphold the majesty of the law"

CAUSED A DEFICIENCY
Washington Editor Says Of an AI-
legged Piece of Grating on
aPostaI Device.
PROFIT ON IT WAS 100 PER oErT.
More Of the Device Bought Than
Could Be Used-Iachen and
Others Again Indicted.

Washington, June %. - The Post
says that among the matters which
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Bristow is investigating is the pur-
chase from a California company, the
Postal Device and Imp: ovement COM
pany. of some 1900 letter devices for
indicating the hours of collection Of
mail. The invention is that of the
postmaster at San Francisco, 1t
is said. 1t is also said that 1000
OF these devices originally were or
dered at cost of 81 or more each, or
a profit of 100 per cent. on cost, and
the allegation is made that further
order for 10000 was placed notwith-
standing the original 1900 devices
were not used, but were reposing in
a storehouse.
Loud Pushed the scheme Personally.
The company controlling the Gevice
was largely made up of California pos
tai employees, and The Post says that
it is informed that ex-Representative
Loud, of California, formerly chair
man Of the house postoffice committee.
took active part in their behalf and
wrote seve al letters urging the device
on the department, and in one of them
said it would be an accommodation to
him If the matter were attended to.
Had No Personal Interest.
After the company had difficulty in
securing it's money for the device Loud,
The Post says, appeared at the de-
partment in it's behalf, but specifical-
ly disclaimed any interest in the COM
pany other than that it was composed
of his constituents. He took the ground
that whatever the necessity or lack
of necessity for the device, constituents
of his had secured the contract aud
furnished the articles called for. There
fore. he believed they should be paid.
as the government had stipulated to
pay them. During his recent visit to
this city. Loud, on certain of his WIS.,
its to the department. took up some of
those unpaid bills, making it plain,
however, that he appeared only in be-
half Of constituents and not as one
financially interested in the company
Says It Co used . Deficit.
The allegation was made, The Post
says, that $4,000 of the deficiency OF
$105,0O0 in the free delivery service
with which Machen is charged was
due to purchases of the device In ques-
ton, but at the postoffice department
this was denied, and the statement
made that while the matter was under
investigation, the complaint might have
been reactiOnary and intended against
the investigation. Complaints also had
been made, it was stated, that at the in
stance of Loud the rolls at the Preside
had been padded with postal employees
but at the postoffice department they
were without any knowledge of such

V|RGIN|AN IN THE LEAD
When a Mob in Delaware Breaks
into Jail for
Victim.
uEeRo WRETCH IS oE.MA1ED
Guards ct the Jail Fire on the Mob
and Wound Four.
Resistance Is Feeble, and Burning Ct
the Stake Again Takes Place
I'm the Ur.tted States.

Wilmington. Del, June 23.-A north
ern mob, leds by yirginian, burned
q negro at the stake within few
miles of Mason and Dixon's line. The
victim was George +. White, negro
Just out of the workhouse, who was
accused of having feloniously assault
ed and stabbed to death Miss Helen
s. Bishop. the 17-year-old daughter Of
Rev. f. A. Bishop The crime was
committed the afternoon of June 10,
and ever since then there had been
mutterings of mob law. An effort
was made Sunday night to get White,
but it failed.
-Four Thousand In the Mob.
However, as a result of much agi-
tation on the part of those who cried
for blood, mob that was estimated
at 4.000 men and boys gathered in
the neighborhood of Prices Corner.
four miles from here. They came from
everywhere. inclading Wilmington and
the small towns 10 the south If Prices
Corner. A yirg.hian whose identity in
the confusion and excitement could not
be learned was the leader. The po-
lice of Wilmington and the constables
tried to disperse the growing crowd,
but without avail.
No Resistance 1t the Start.
1t was after 10 p. M whep the
march TO the workhouse, mile away,
was taken up. The chief warden Of
the workhouse and his guards, who
had been on almost constant duty since
the negro was landed In the prison,
had been warned of the coming of the
mob, and prepared to defend the pris-
oner. Armed with pistols, shotguns
and other weapons the mob soon
reached the jail. A battery of railroad
ties soon carried away the outer door.
The second. third and fourth doors
were battered down by the forward
leaders in the attacking party amid the
yeils and cheers of those who were
pressing forward from the rear.
The Plymouth tribune. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1901-1911, 1903-06-25

1t is not known as yet what action
the state authorities will take. At
torney General H. H. Ward made a
brief statement. in which be said that
The Plymouth tribune. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1901-1911, 1903-06-25

-Four OF the Mob Are Put Out of 5ction,
but It Ge.s There.

-Four oil the Mob Are Put Ont OF 5ctfon,
but It Ge.s There.
Then the would-be lylchers were
momentarily halted by hail of bull
lets from the inside. A great howl
went up FROM the leaders, but they
were pressed forward by those In the
rear. More shooting was heard, and
there was a scramble to get out, but
the Drawer ones in the attacking party
stood their ground. In the fusillade
that followed four persons fell. all
members of the mob. They were quick
ly carried to the rear and attended to,
Three of the wounded were men and
the other was boy.
None of them in the confusion could
be identified except the boy, who is
said to be Peter Smith, aged Il years.
1t was evident that the warden did not
wish to slaughter the mob in the pris-
on corridor, so he directed that the
fire hose be turned on the crowd This
also held the mob for a time, but not
for long. A general rush was made,
the guards were brushed aside, and a
man hunt Of the jail was made for the
negro. There were many negroes con-
fined I'm the prison, but with the aid
of q man who knew White he was
quickly found His cell door was bat
tered open and the covering and ac-
cused man, begging for mercy, was
dragged from the cell and the prison.
When the crowd outside heard that
success had crowned the efforts Of the
lynchers a great cheer was set up. At
tempts were made to shoot White on
the spot, but the leaders of the crowd
would have nothing but torture. Re
sistanee on the part Of the negro WIS
useless, but his hands were tied be-
hind him. Then the march to the place
of execution began.
EVERYTHING HAD BEEN ARRANGEo
Negro Confessss His Crime, Il Chained %
the stake and Burned.
1t then became evident that q plan
OF execution had been previously ar
ranged, but who the planners were is
not known at this writing With torches
to lead the way and with 1000 per-
sons following the negro he was led
to the road and to almost the very spot
where the assault took place. White
was given last chance to speak, and
he confessed to the murder Of the girl.
A stake had been arranged by an ad-
vance guard. White was quickly
chained to tine post and the dry under-
brush, soaked with oil, was ignfted,
and the horrible execution WIS on.
White. suffering intense agony, faint
ed, and his body hung limp. Shots
were fired into his body and the vic
tim Of the mob was soon dead Sat
isfied with its night work, the great
er number Of the lynchers immedi-
ately left the neighborhood, many Of
them fearing arrest However. large
number Of persons Ioitered at the
scene, awaiting developments.
