MAY HAVE BEEN JEST
BOYS THOUGHT TO HAVE LYNCH
ED HARRY DAVIS.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ANNAPOLIS, Nd, December 22.-Accu-
mulatIng evidence is making 1t clear that
Harry Davis, the negro who assaulted Mrs.
John Reid, was lynched yesterday morn
ing by two score of school boys as a huge
lark. There seems to be little doubt that
few residents of the section in which the
crime was committed, or even mature men
from any section, took part in the lynch
ing. The evidence is overwhelming that
the crowd, which numbered about forty.
was composed largely of candidates for
the Naval Academy and students of st.
Johns College.
Reliable witnesses who saw the crowd say
without hesitancy 1t was composed almost
entirely OF very young men. and one who
saw the whole process of breaking into the
jail says he could observe distinctly the
hat soft hats with colored bands such as
students of colleges and schools affect.
College a Rendezvous.
No considerable mber of teams came
to Annapolis that night from the direction
of Mrs. Reds home. and none returned.
The grounds of the st. Johns College were
chosen as a rendezvous. and these are en-
tirely out OF the line OF march from that
section.
Finally the crowd walked into one of the
college dOrmitories, turned on the light
and proceeded 10 disguise themselves, an in
vas!on which would hardly have taken
place had the mob been composed of coun-
try residents.
still stronger circumstance Is that
Davis was only taken to the outskirts of
the city, about a third of a mile from the
jail. instead Of being carried to the scene
OF the crime TO be hanged.
1t is known that tho authorities have the
names of some who were members q the
crowd, though possibly not participants in
tie actual work.
These, 1t is thought. will be summoned
before the grand jury and compelled dis
close what they know about those who
composed the crowd.
