HANGED FOR ASSAULT.
Penalty Imposed by Law Was Visit
ed Upon Williams


Wheeling. w. Va, Sept. 9.-George
Williams, the Jefferson county negro,
who waylaid and criminally assaulted
Laura Knade, near Harper's Ferry,
several weeks ago, was hanged at the
state prison in Moundsville this even
ing at Sis o'clock. Eleven minutes
later life was pronounced extinct and
the body was cut down and prepared
for burial in the prison cemetery.
Williams never lost his nerve and
went to the scaffold without a whimper,
declaring to the last his innocence. The
crime was perhaps the most revolving
in the criminal annals of the state
Laura Knade, a white girl, whose
family is one of the most prominent
of the Eastern Panhandle, left her
home on a bright July morning, driv-
ing to Harper's Ferry to board a train
for the Worlds Fair. On the way.
Williams waylaid the girl and commit
ed the assault.
The crime aroused the countryside to
a man, and when the negro was cap
tured public excitement became so
great that the prisoner was taken over
the border into Maryland. The ex-
citement was allayed, seemingly, and
Williams was taken to Charlestown
Jail, but again mobs formed and the
prisoner was hurriedly taken to
Moundsville penitentiary to await trial.
Gov. White called out the National
Guard and under it's protection Will
liams was taken back to Charlestown
and the trial held under military pro-
lection. The night before the trial the
excitement eliminated in the forma-
ton of the largest mob of all, and as
saults were made on the jail but the
military, under Col. Simms, succeeded
in overaweing the mob, and then came
the trial, which speedily resulted in a
verdict of guilty and the sentence to
hang at MoundsYille. Sent 9

ARE SEEKING TO INCITE
RUSSIAN REVOLUTION
InfiammatOry PrOcIRmntiOns Are
Being Disseminated.

Being Disseminated.
Intense activity is being displayed by
some anti-Russian revolutionary organ
izations abroad. 1t seems that they
have united in an effort to appeal to
all the disconnected classes of the Rus
sian population. Incendiary proclama-
tions have been struggled across the
border and distributed broadcast in the
towns and cities especially in Polish
and Jewish centers. calling upon the
population to take advantage of the
governments preoccupation. owing to
the war to rise against the authorities
and overthrow the autocracy.
Many of the proclamations have been
seized, and it is proved that they have
been printed in London. Until now
they have met with little response in
Russia proper but there have been sew
eral manifestations in various places
in Poland and Southwestern Russia,
where the population is largely Jewish.
The largest demonstration, it is UNI
derstood, took place at Grodno, Poland,
where 500 persons participated.
The Ministry of the Interior SEEM
ingly does not attach great Importance
to the proclamations, and the reports
which have been received indicate that
the people have not been stirred up by
them. The demonstrations, according
to the Ministry of the Interior, have
been small affairs. and easily sup
the attempts to inhame the people when
the country is being seriously tried by
reverses in the theater of war, are nat
urally more or less disquieting.

the very first thing was to walk, with
all his bruised condition, to Catawba
