Had Negro In charge-crlme Was
Alleged Assault Upon Woman.
Clinton. April 2O.-Preceded by a
prayer. spoken by one OF the leaders
of the mob. the second l}nching in
Louisiana this week, occurred Thurs
day night, miles from here
Both lynchlngs were for similar
causes, alleged attempted assaults up
on white women, and vengeance was
wreaked in both cases after the ne
gro had once escaped the mob's an
ger, and was being conveyed to safe
ty by officers of the law.
Fred Kilbourne, young negro. was
Thursday nights victim. He was
caught about midnight and. it is said,
that the two deputy sherlhs who had
him In charge made desperate strug-
gle, but were overpowered by the size
OF the mob, which included 500 men
and boys.
No shots were fired on either side.
The negro protested to the mob that
his arrest was mistake, be begged
for chance to appear before jury
and prove that he was not guilty, and
finally he pleaded plteously for mercy.
His captors gave him plenty OF time
to make his statements, but remain-
cd unmoved in their determination to
hang him.
When he saw that death was cer-
tain, the negro kneeled on the ground
and asked that he be led in prayer.
His request was granted; the prayer
was mumbled by one OF the leaders.
Every head was uncovered
Then he was hanged to- the limb of
cypress tree. Not a shot was fired
at the negro, although every member
of the mob was armed. The leaders
were determined men, and kept order
throughout the proceedings, dIspers-
ing their followers as soon as XII
bourne was dead.
The participants In this lynchlng
resided both here and in the country
all about this place. Nearly all day
a steady stream OF armed and angry
men had poured into Clinton, and had
spent the day discussing what should
be done. The authorities apparently
did their best to give the negro a
jury trial.
Kilbourne was spirited away from
the jail and hidden in a swamp Just
In time 10 escape the first attempt up
on his life. With she prisoner tenn
porarily safe the sheriff argued with
the crowd, assuring them thar
speedy trial would be held The crowd
appeared to be satisfied with this as
suranee and preparations had been
rushed to sueh an extent that II seem
ed certain the negro would be given
trial, aud his Innocence or guilt
established by Saturday at the latest.
He was employed on the plantation OF
the woman whom he was alleged 10
have attacked.

That ''New York TO PaFis'' Railway.
Apparently Americans win be able
% reach Paris by airship before the
mOoted all rail route via a Bering
strait tunnel is open for business. Mr..
A. ii. Brooks Of the United States
geological survey discusses the railway
scheme In connection with other Alas
kan railroad projects and concludes
that while the tunneling Of the strait
would not be impossible as an engineer
Iag feat. the cost would be virtually
prohlbitive.
Were the railways Of both hemi-
spheres built to the headlands on each
side the Ice foes would prevent fer
rlnge across the strait at least seven
months Of the year. aud railway COM
municatlon would be broken mean
while without tunnel. The expense Of
building extensions to the far north in
Alaska and siberia would be heavy,
aud there would be no business for
these lines unless the difficulty Of span
ming the strait Is solved. When scan

that this intercontinental railway prof

Watson, who Ii man OF technical
training and experience, outlined in the
New York Sun a simpler plan OF gov
ernrnent control, his suggestion being
the partnerahlp OF the government with
corporate interests.
In theory Mr.. Wataon's plan seems to
substitute a three sided system Of own

system now in vogue. In results Il
might not work out that way. Mr..
Watson imaglnes board OF corpora

EVIDENCE IN WALSH CASE
Bankers Former Private Rookkeeper
on the Stand.

Chicago, Dec. 2.-B. B. Mckay,
formerly private bookkeeper for John
R. Walsh, testified in the trial of the
former bank president that with the
deposit slips of the Southern Indiana
Railway company were deposited to
the railroad company's account on
the books of the Chicago National
bank checks that Mckay himself had
written and that should be signed by
other persons in the bank. The max
ing of and signing the checks and
the depositing of them, he said, was
at the direction of Mr.. Walsh. Nc
Kays testimony was given over a
strong objection by attorneys for the
defense, who commended that it came
under a former ruling by Judge An
derson relative to evidence furnished
by the defendant against himself.
Mckay was examined also as to
thirty mine deposit slips which be said
had been deposited to the account Of
the Chicago Chronicle company. Dur
ing 1906 and part of 1904, he assert
ed, $1,424,OO0 was SO deposited. It is
contended by the prosecution that this
amount was wrongfully diverted from
the funds of the bank.
