WHITE MAN LYNCHEp.
Hob Storms Jail and Carries Of
Assailant Of Two Women
Mother and Daughter Going to Visit
Latter's Sick Husband AS
saulted and Murdered.

A special from Newport, Ark, says
that Louis AllWhite, the alleged
criminal assailant and murderer OF
Mrs. Rachael Kinkannon and daughter
was Saturday lynched at the scene Of
the crime by mob Of seven Numbered
men. The mob formed shortly after
noon, advanced upon the jail, over
powered the sheriff and guards and
took AllWhite from his cell.
Newton, the l9-year-old son OF ALI
white, who is self confessed acces-
sorry to his fathers alleged crime, was
not molested by the jail-stOrmers.
Having secured their victim, the
mob marched the elder Allwhite along
the railroad for two miles and close
by the Kinkannon home, on the Jack.
sonport road, hanged him from tree.
To the last AllWhite maintained 8
stoical demeanor, betraytng not the
slightest emotion. He steadfastly
and pers;stently asserted his innocence
OF the murder Of the two woman. His
last words we're:
'You will later hang another man
for the crime for which you are now
killing me-"
Tne infrm and aged father and
husband Of the murdered women was
carried to the scene Of the hanging
and witnessed the swift extinction OF
Aliwhite's life.
Mrs. R.chael Kinkannon and her
daughter, Mrs. Amelia Mauldin, were
waylaid, assaulted and murdered on
Christmas morning. The mother and
daughter were hurrying to the bed
side OF the latter's sick husband, when
AlIWhte and his son, according to the
CT n;ession OF the boy, met them,
dragged the women to a nearby raVine
and murdered both. The younger
Allwhise further testified that they,
he and his father, took the body OF
Mrs. Klnkannon ana threw 1t into the
river, and would have made the same
disposition OF the daughters corpse
but were frightened away by the sight
Ct several persons coming down the
road.
When the elder Allwhits WAS ar
rested on suspicion, blood was found
on his coat ard his sons confession. it
is said, was corroborated In many
WAYS.
When the coroner's jury secured
evidence that appeared to fasten the
crime upon the AllWhites, mob spirit,
which had been rapidly growing in
Che community, became domirans.
The confession Of the younger All.
white had the effect OF severing all
restraint and despite the urgent ap
peals OF many prominent citizens 0!
Newport, the mob overrode the couu-
sells Of the towns officials and took
the case into their own hands.
/ AllWhite'S body was cut down short
ly after death and brought to the
establishment Of a local undertaken.
The dead man was an old resident o1
this scommunity. He Nas suspected
Of the murder Of citizen named Pink
Bateman several years ago, but this
he denied on the scafold.
The body OF Mrs Kinkannon has moi
yet Eeen found.

A LITTLE WAR sToRY.
4 Gun Captured from Federal Of.
fcer Returned at Last.

The Columbia Record says rather
pretty little story hcs just developed
In the past few days, in which Bishop
Capers takes a part and which brings
back reco:lections Of the days in 1851.

has in it the capture Of Fed

officer in the Third South Carolina
regiment, and the part Played by.
other members Of the same regiment,
the names OF whom have been forgot.
ten by all.
The incident happened on James
Island when a detachment OF soldiers
from the various South Carolina COM
panies, jast raisei, were stationed
there. bishop Capers and three SOL
diers were coming over from the
headquarters OF the officers toward
the line where sentries had been
thrown out.
Just across the line.a Northern SOL
dier was Sc, q and it was evident that
they had landed for some parpose not
for the good OF the men on the Island
who wore the grey. he was approach
ed so rapidly that be had no chance
to escape and told to surrender. There
was some parley at first as the man,
evidently brave soldier, did not:
wish 10 be taken In this way without
having a chancellor fight, but the,
folly Of such procedure vas Quickly =
shown and be turned over bis gun and.
marched back to camp.
The gun was kept by Bishop Capers
for years and several efforts were
made to find its owner. Finally by:
searching over the records it was
found that the gun belonged to SON..
member Of the FIRST Connecticut Vct-.
unteers. From there the tracing IS
a little easier and finally tie man who
owned the gun was located. His mama
is Francis G. Cope and he lives In q
snail town in Connecticut. The gua:
is now being fixed up AMI will be, r.
turned by the bishop at once. 1t is
still a dangerous looking weapon, al

Weed and l have been chums since
boyhood. Both Of US had met bsd
successes and we were both what you

OF us did, that we should commit sui.
eide together. Both Of US agreed and
then we made preparations to 6ie.''
Riley said that in their room he
| and Weed discussed the bzst methods
OF ending their lives, and it was fna!-.

| chased the poison.
I'VE were to die that n;gnt," the
man coc tinued, 'but one Of Us pro-
posed to put it off for a few hours.
We had some money and we decided
to spend that before we died. Then,
too, we were very nervous. We went
around the city and visited several
theatres and also drank heavily
Riley then stated 5hst they vent to

DOES NOT WANT TUE
TAX CASES APPEALED

81 have asked Treasurer Campbell
to see the firms that lost the tax ap-
peal cases to the Territorial govern
ment and see whether an amicable ar
rangement can not be reached" said
Governor Carter yesterday "D un-
derstand that these firms are going to
appeal their cases to the United States
Supreme Court under the late amend
ment to the Organic Act permitting
such appeals where the amounts in
volved are large. The firms interest
ed are HackfeId & Co., Schaefer & Co.,
Davies & Co., Irwin & Co. and Brewer
& Co.
THE decision from which they ap-
peal is based upon a law that has
been changed at this session of the
legislature. The appeal, therefore, can
only run to the matter decided in the
present suit, and if they get a decision
it can have no future effect the law
being changed. Under the old law
they were taxed on their aggregate
capital. The new tax law will assess
them only on their profits. And it
would be much better if an arrange
ment could be made without going to
the expense of an appeal to Washing
ton. 1t would probably cost the firms
in question as much as they would
save by a victory to make the appeal,
