MOB LrNCH{D THE NEGRO
EUPoRA, MISS, MAN CHARGED
WITH CRIMINAL ASSAULT.
little White Girl Identified Him While
Moose Was Around His Neck-Hana.
Ing FoIlowed-sooo People Present.
He Denied Guilt to the Last-Mskes
Statement to 200 Negroes.

Eupora, Miss, June 27.-Starling
Durham, negro, wanted on the
charge of criminal assault on 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
mob. The moose was placed about the
negro's neck by the little Wilson girl,
who positively identified him as her
assailant. The negro was then placed
on the back Of a black horse; at
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 hanging. The lynching
was as orderly as legal execution.
After being assured that the negro was
dead, the mob cut down the body and
turned 1t over to relatives for burial.
Durham was captured Friday near
Vienna, Ala, after running chase dur.
ing which he was wounded twice. He
was brought here tonight by the sher-
ID Of this (Wilson) county and a large
mob met the train at the railroad sta
ton and an effort was made to get the
negro, but officers spirited him away
and carried him to Jail at Walthall,
six miles from here, where the party
was again met by 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 up this intention, but only after
promising to deliver the negro to the
mob this morning for execution. There
was strong sentiment for burning,
but this was overcome and the lynch.
ing took the form of a hanging.
Durham stoutly maintained his inno-
cence to the last and denied that he
bad ever seen the Wilson girl. He ad.
mitted 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 60 about white mans house
when the women were at home alone.
The three Dunn sisters, the eldest of
whom is less than 10 years, witnessed
the lynching from q distance.
The lynching occurred before the
governor was apprised that Durham
had been brought back to Mississippi.
