ter hurried consultation. started for
the negro 8 home at 338 Quincy street
NE, thinking that he would be released
on bail and would return. .-..
While on the way across the river
the lynching party gradually increased;

were told the object of the organiza-
ton. $50 -.
They went quietly but determinedly
to avenge the wrong done the little
girl, whom many of them knew. Po-
