destroy discipline"
To this the Newark STIR retorts.--ssIt
sh0uld be observed that is high time TO. play

been in vogue at Trenson and Railway.

RECALL ]: d
Frank Johnson Hanged
From Justice Court
Railing Here
in 1893

The affair at Charles City last night
recalls the lynching of Frank Johnson
in Ottumwa on November ri, 1898.
Johnson had been brought to the Office
Of Justice of the Peace Truitt in the
old Ennis building at the corner of
Main and Market streets for prelim-
mary hearing on the charge of per-
petrating brutal assault on a Agar
old Ottumwa girl. An Infatuated crowd
gathered and surged ZIP the stairway.
A hot poker was showed in Johnson's
throat and he was then hauled to the
outside entrance to the court room, a
rope was stretched around his neck
and ne was hanged to the iron rail of
the stair case
Grandfather Had Rope.
The prisoner had been brought to
the court room by Constable Brown,
and Marshal J. D. Gephart and Deputy
Sheriff james D. Gray made an armed
escort. No trouble was encountered
until after the prisoner had entered
the court room, although there was a
big crowd on the street
! When the aged grandfather of the
| little girl, who had been SO cruelty out.
ragged climbed the stairway carrying a
rope, however, the crowd became in.
furiatsd and swept the officers aside in
mad rush into the court room.
The Rope Broke.
After Johnson had been swinging
from the railing for q few moments
the rope broke and his body fell to the
ground, before life was extinct. The
body was thrown into a wagon and
taken to the undertakers.' The crowd
believing the man to be still alive, fol
lowed the wagon and ii was not until
a committee of the lynchers viewed
the body and reported that Johnson
was dead that the mob dispersed.
No action was eves taken against
the parties who perpetrated the OF
