BURNED AT STAKE.
Mob In Delaware Town Execute .
Negro Murderer.

negro MURDERER.
Wilmington, Del, June pa mob,
led by a Virginian, burned a negro
named White at the stake last night
within a few miles OF Mason and Dix
on's line. The victim was just out Of
the workhouse and was accused Of
having felonously assaulted and
stabbed TO death Miss Helen S. Bish.
op, the 17-year-old Y.lghter of Rev.
DR.. +. A. Bishop. IT, c.ime was com
mitted last Monday at Prices Corner.
and ever since then there have been
mutterings of l%ynching the man.
A mob estimated at 1000, men and
boys, gathered in the n~eighborhood of
Prices Corner, four miles from here.
The real leaders were few in numbers
but they did their work well. 1t was
after 10 o'clock when the march to the
w~orkhouse, a mile away, was taken
up. The chief warden and his guards
prepared to defend the man at al
costs.
a battery Of railroad ties soon car
ried away the great doors of the work
house. In the fusillade that followed
four persons fell, all members OF the
mob. The warden did not wish to
slaughter the mob in the prison yard
so he ordered the fire hose be turned
on the crowd. This also held the mob
for a time. but not for long.
The guards were brushed aside. and
with the aid Of a man who knew
White he was quickly found. His cell
door was battered open and the COW.
ering and accused man, begging for
mercy, was dragged from the cell and
the prison. With torches they led the
way, and with 1000 persons following
the negro, he was led TO the road and
TO almost the very spot where the as.
sault took place. White was given a
last chance to speak, and he confessed
TO the murder OF the girl. A stake
had been arranged by an advance
guard. White was chained 10 the post
and the dry underbrush, soaked with
oil, was ignited. and the horrible ev-
ecution was on. Shots were fired into
his body and the victim OF the mob
was 500 dead.
The failure OF the county court 10
give White a speedy trial is in a great
measure responsible for the tragedy.
