BY recovery of 112 more bodies of

to 845. Of these 700 have been identi-

HANGED BY A MOB.
Fate of Brutal Negro-His Victim, a
Little Girl, Places Rope
Around His Neck.

Eupora, Miss, June 27-Starling
Durham, negro wanted on the
charge of crimiRally assaulting the IA
year-old daughter of John Wilson, a
white man, near Bellefontaine, two
weeks ago, and attempting to criminal
ly assault three young ladies named
Dunn near this city, all during the
course of the same day, was hanged in
the public square here Sunday by a
mob. The moose was placed about the
negros neck by the little Wilson girl,
who positively identified him as her
assailant. The negro was then placed
upon the back of black horse and,
at a signal from the leader of the mob,
the little Wilson girl led the horse
from under him. Over 5000 persons,
white and black, witnessed the hang
ing. The lynching was as orderly as a
legal execution. After being assured
that the negro was dead. the mob cut
down the body and turned it over to
relatives for burial.
Durham was captured Friday nea-
Vienna, Ala, after a running chase,
during which he was twice wounded.
He was brought here Saturday night
by the sheriff of this (Wilson) county.
A large mob met the train at the rail-
road station, and an effort was made
to get the negro, but the officers spir-
tied him away and carried him to Jail
at Walthall, six miles from here,
where the party was again met by a
mob of determined men, who said
their intention was to burn Durham.
The officers in charge of the negro
succeeded in prevailing upon the mob
to- give this intention up, but ,only af-
ter promising to deliver the negro to
the mob Sunday morning for execu-
ton.
There was a strong sentiment for
burning, but this was overcome and
the lynching took the form of hang
ing. Durham stoutly maintained his
innocence to the last, and denied that
he had ever seen the Wilson girl. He
admitted having visited Dunn's place,
but denied any bad motive. His last
remarks were made to 200 negroes,
who were assembled about the place
of execution, Durham telling them
never to go about white mans house
when women were at home alone. The
three Dunn sisters, the eldest OF
whom is less than Is, witnessed the
lynching from a distance.

MAN AND WIFE KILLED.
Electric Car Strikes Automobile in q
Chicago Suburb-Victims Are
Badly Burned.

Chicago, June 27.-An automobile
outing terminated in instant death
Sunday morning for Mr.. and Mrs.
George E. Dixon, we'll known residents
of Lagrange and leading members OF
the Episcopal church of that suburb.
They were killed in Austin avenue,
in Austin, when their automobile col
Hded with an electric car on the Au-
rora, Elgin & Chicago railroad. I'M
mediately following the collision the
gasoline tank of the automobile ex-
ploded, and the flaming fluid saturated
the clothing of the two victims. Before
the fire could be extinguished both
bodies were burned almost beyond
recognition. AS dramatic climax to
the double tragedy, the brakes of the
electric car became unmanageable and
the car, crowded with horror-stricken
and fear-benumbed passengers, ran
wild of it's own momentum for almost
a mile.
The circumstances of the collision
are not clear. Neither Motorman
Frank Bates nor Conductor Thomas
Hughes could explain more than the
fact that the automobile ran directly
in front of the rapidly moving electric
car, and that the collision occurred
before there was any opportunity to
apply the brakes. or reverse the power.
Both the motorman and the conductor
we're arrested, but later in the day, at
the request of George e. Dixon, Jr.,
The accident is said to have been
due in part to the construction of the
electric motor car. The arrangement
of the motorman's compartment does
not permit of clear view on the left
side. The car was east bound, and the
Dixons approached from the north, on
the left, SO that the motorman had no
sight of them until the automobile
was on the track in front of the car.
