TEN-YEAR-oLD GIRL THE VICTIM

Anderson Would Have Probably Been
Lynched, 1t Is Said, But for Pleas
of the Little child's Mother, Who
Was Sick.
Washington, Ca, Jan. 29-Following
| a criminal assault on a 10-year-Old girl
who has been captured by a mob, the
assailant's fate was in doubt while the
parents of the girl were pleading fol
and against burning him at the stake
Mrs. ROBBERS, weeping, begged that
| the law be allowed to take its course
and her husband continued to incite
the mob TO lynch the negro. She
| then appealed to her husband to aid
her in preventing the lynching. She
said that to put the assailant to death
within hearing of the girl would be
almost as cruel to the child as the
negro's act.
Roberts, after some hesitation, came
to his wife's side and joined his en-
treaties with hers. Their united eff
forts convinced the mob that to lynch
| the negro would add to the wrong al
! ready done the child, and it was
agreed to turn the assailant over tc

Mamie Roberts was attacked Satur
| day as she was returning from q
neighbOr's home by Rich Anderson, g
negro employed by her father AS
soon as the child reached home with
the story, posses with bloodhounds be

The negro was captured in a swamp
and taken to Roberts home, where il
was planned to have him identified BY
the child, and then lynch him. When

When the affair became generally

Relatives Believe that Was Fate OF
Mrs Mangrum.
Nashville, Tenn, Jan. 29.-The body
of Mrs. Rosa Mangrum, which was
found IN the Ohio river at Cairo, Ills
on Thursday, and positively identified
at Cairo by o. G. Mangrum, and Mrs
Florence Trousdale, of Birmingham
Ala, respectively husband and sister
of the dead woman, has been brought
here.
Mrs. Mangrum's relatives believe
she was chloroformed and robbed and
the body then thrown into the river to
hide the crime.
Detectives at work on the case, it is
said, have clew substantiating the
theory of murder. Mrs Mangrum left
her home here on the night of Dec
IA, saying she was going to st. Louis
to visit relatives. She carried with
her some $1,000 or $500 in money
and had on her person jewelry valued
at $4,000. After she reached the
union station here all trace of her

General Wheeler held the rank of
major general OF volunteers, and was
honored accordingly by the govern
ment he served.
A guard of honor selected from
the ranks of the Spanish war veter-
ans here, which met the body on it's
arrival from Brooklyn, escorted it to
St. Johns Episcopal church, and re-
NAMED in charge of the casket during
the night and was relieved by the reg
ular army guard.
St Johns church is at the corner of
Sixteenth and H streets, N. W., oppo-
site Lafayette square, and there from
10 a. M. until p. m. the body lay in
state and the hosts who desired to,
paid their last tribute to the distin-
guished soldier. From this church
many men conspicuously in public and
in private life, have been buried.
At 2 p. M. brief services were con
Quoted at the church by the Rev. DR..
Ernest Stires, of st. Thomas church, in
New York, who conducted the funer-
al services held in New York and who
had accompanied the body to Washing
ton to perform these last sad rites
here.
When the service was concluded
the solemn procession started. First
in line were the United States troops
detailed by the war department as
the military escort. In the absence
of an infantry organization in the i'm
mediate vicinity of Washington, bat
TALON of engineers from Washington
barracks represented that branch
the service A squadron of caval-
ry from Fort Myer and the cavalry
also from Fort Myer, completed the
escort. With the cavalry riderless
horse was led, denoting that one of
country's soldiers has been lost from
the ranks. The body was borne on
caisson by four horses and the cas-
ket was draped with the stars and
stripes.
Following the caisson were the vet
eran organizations. Shortly after
leaving the church the cortege turned
into Pennsylvania avenue and pro-
ceeded along that broad thoroughfare
westward to the sound of muffled
drums and the solemn dirge to George
town. There, the Potomac river was
crossed on the aqaeduct bridge into
Virginia, and to Arlington cemetery.
The route to the cemetery was past
Fort Myer AS the head of the col
umn reached a point opposite that
post, cannon doomed, sounding the
major generals salute of 13 guns at
regular intervals.
Impressive military services and the
final services of the church marked the
| ceremonies at the cemetery The
cavalry dismounuted at the gates and
proceeded within the Silent City of
the Dead on foot. The troops form
ed in line at the grave and stood at
present arms" The veterans or
ganizations also took positions around
the grave With the casket rest
ing just above the grave the committal
/ services of the Episcopal church were
conducted by Rev. DR.. Stires.
AS the casket was lowered into the
ground a squad detailed from the
troops fired three volleys over the
grave. Taps were then sounded, con.
cluding the ceremony.
