Blount negro proprietor of fish and
oyster shop in the suburbs of Berke-
ley, was taken early this morning
from the police station, where he was
confined by mob of fifty masked men
and lynched. Blount had been arrest
ed Saturday night for striking t. ID.
Holloman. a Berkeley policeman, in
the face with a lighted lamp, badly
burning him. The officer had gone to
Blounts place to arrest another negro
and Blount refused the officer permis-
sion to enter.
The attack on the station was made
when but one officer was on duty and
he was compelled to give up the keys
at the point of a pistol. The mob
seized Blount and carried him into
Hardy's field, a short distance away,
where he was beaten to death with
some blunt instrument and then shot
The mob dispersed and the officers re-
clare they know none of the partici-
pants. Blount has been for many
years a negro Republican leader and
at one time held a position in the Nor
folk navy yard.
w. w. Robertson, a lumber dealer
and "a resident of Berkeley told Mayor
messed the killing from his bedroom
window and that Blount's screams
awakened him. Four masked men. he
said, had Blount in the middle of the
street and were clubbing his head.
Three of the men became frightened
at their victims cries and fled, but the
other, whom Robertson believes was
white drew pistol and shot Blount
through the back of the head. Rear

Norfolk navy yard. today directed the
marines and sailors at st. Helena naval

ment, National Guards, after confer
ence with Mayor Allen today, ordered
the Norfolk companies of the Seventy

population, of the town is excited over
the lynching of Blount and serious
trouble is feared after nightfall
Mayor Allen, of Berkeley, has declar-
ed he will use every effort to appre-
hend the members of the mob.
