THE NEGRo's VICTIM.
Miss Bishop Was Returning from
Night School When Assaulted.

WILMINGTON, Del, June 22.-The victim
Of the assault for which White was lynched
was Miss Helen S. Bishop. daughter of the
Rev. E. A. Bishop, superintendent of the
Ferris Industrial School She would have
been eighteen years old next October. She
was a student of the Wilmington High
School and was on her way home from the
school last Monday afternoon when she was
attacked. The industrial school, where the
girls parents made their home, is about
three-quarters of mile from Prices Cor
ner, where the girl usually left the trolley
car when she went home from school in
Wilmington. Late Monday afternoon a far
mer, working in the field, saw Miss Bishop
stagger and fall in the road. The farmer
and his sons went to her assistance, but
when they reached the girl she was lying
unconscious in the road. She had three ugly
gashes in hef throat, her body was badly
scratched and her clothing was torn in
many places. In one hand she clutched a
small penknife. There was every evidence
that Miss Bishop had made a desperate re-
sistance in defense of her honor and her
life. The wounded girl was taken home and
died the next afternoon without regaining
consciousness.
The entire neighborhood was almost in
stantly aroused and a man hunt was i'm
mediately begun. Suspicion was soon fas-
tened on George g. White, a negro just
out of the workhouse. who was engaged
a a laborer the farm Of Edward Wood

was found In bed that same night and
when taken into custody denied all knowl-
edge of the crime. He was identified by
several persons who said they saw him
in the vicinity of the scene of the crime.

longed to him, was found where the girl
was assaulted. White was brought to Will
mington, but later was transferred to the
county workhouse, where the officials
thought he would be safe from mob vio-
lence.

that there were many things the ministers
would like to know that the mayor had not
touched on at all DR.. Bacon remarked that
the ministers had formed their own opinions
and that these would probably not be

committee of three be appointed TO formr-

to the address, and his opinion was con-
Cured in by DR.. Hyde of the Fletcher

NEW M. E. PASTOR.

Rev. A. W. Smith, the new pastor of
the NJ. E. church, comes here from
Wyoming in Jones county where he
most acceptably served the church for
four years. That he had won his way
into the regard and respect of the
people of that place is evident from
the manner in which they treated
him when he left, large company
giving him farewell surprise party
and presenting handsome silver
water set together with a nice purse
of money for Mrs. Smith. The Masonic
brethren also took turn at him and
gave a fine lodge emblem and set of
silver spoons as token of their regard.
He is fast making friends here and his
pastorate promises to be successful
