MISSISSIPPI JUSTICE
METED OUT TO A BRUTE,
This Negro Gets the Usual Potion
Dosed Out to Fiends of His Charac-
ter. The Lynchers of Course are
Unknown to Officers.

Louisville, Miss, June 4.-Esex
Bostick, negro about 26 years of age,
who was accused of attempting to en-
ter the sleeping room Of Mrs. Sallle
Gordon after midnight Friday, was
last night taken from the officers near
here and hanged.
Bostick was one of party of sere-
naders on the night in question and
was making the rounds of the neigh
borhood among the negroes. Later
Mrs. Gordon was aroused by the sound
of music being played very softly and
her screams attracted Mr.. HI. j. Gully,
who happened to be passing and
scared the serenader away. A search
of the premises resulted in the finding
of guitar and pair Of shoes later
identified as the property of Bostlck,
who was located and jailed. AS
soon as it became known that the gull
ty wretch had been caught demonstra-
tions which plainly showed the temper
Of the crowd was for lynching him
were repulsed Saturday and officers
we're endeavoring to spirit Bostlck to
Philadelphia, but in lonely and un'
: inhabited part of the woods, forty
armed men suddenly appeared from all
sides and demanded the custody Of the
thoroughly cowed prisoner. Seeing
that resistance would be folly, the Off
GERS acquiesced, and in a few moments
his dangling body suspended from the
limb Of a nearby tree, was mute evi'
dence of the work of the lynchers, who
did not fire shot, but went about
their gruesome task like silent spec
tres Of the night, uttering not wore
and disappearing as silently as they
had come. There is absolutely no clue
to the members of the party.
