STRUNG UP.
Murderer Of a Boy at Milton,
Mont, Lwched.
Taken from County Jail by Masked
Mob and Hanged.
Pleaded for Mercy but His Pleadings
Were in Vain.

Milton Mont, Oct. 14.-Walter Jack
son, the convicted murderer of Fonnie
Buck, a six-year-old boy. was taken
from the county Jail here, late Tuesday
night, and lynched.
Shortly before midnight, masked men
armed with rifles or shotguns, forced
their way through the rear of the Jail
and overpowered Jailer Stevens, who
was able to offer but slight resistance
Jackson was found cringing in the
darkest portion of his cell. He pleaded
piteously for mercy. but was rushed
out into the street where a mob had al
ready secured rope. This was quick
~ thrown over an electric light pole
and the moose placed about Jackson S
neck. He was asked il he had any
thing to say, but only pleaded for mer-
cy. The mob then pulled him into the
air, after which they quietly dispersed.
The identity of the mob leaders is
unknown. Thirty-five minutes after
the lynching Jackson's body was cut
down by the sheriff and coroner and re-
NOV ed to the mOrgue.
The murder Of little Fonnie Buck was
Il peculiarly atrocious crime. When
the boys body was found it was hor-
ribly mutilated. Suspicion pointed to
Jackson and when he was arrested IL
lynching was narrowly averted. His
trial quickly followed and a verdict was
returned within two hours. He was
sentenced to be hanged, but his attor-
ncys appealed to the supreme court.
