HOSPITAL COT
Pennsylvania Mob Burns Negro
at Stake.
HAD KILLED A POLICEMAN.
Desperate Taken Half Mile Out
Of Town--Makes Piteous
But Vain Appeal
For Mercy.

Coatesville, Pa.-Zachariah Wal
ker, negro desperate, was carried
on a cot from the hospital here Sun
day night and burned to a crisp by
a frenzied mob of men and boys on
a fire which they ignited about a
half mile from town. The negro,
who had shot and killed Edw. Rice,
a special policeman of the Fort
Worth Iron Mills Saturday night,
was first dragged to the scene of the
shooting. begging piteously for
mercy.
He had been arrested by a posse
Sunday afternoon after search
which had stirred the countryside.
When the posse finally located him
he was found hiding in cherry tree,
and with the last bullet in his re-
volver shot himself in the mouth,
falling from the tree He was re-
moved to the hospital and placed
under police guard
A few minutes after 9 o'clock, a
crowd numbering almost 1000 per-
sons appeared at the hospital. The
leaders were unable to gain admis-
sion, but quickly smashed the win
dow frames and crawled through the
corridor. A policeman, who had
been placed on duty to watch Wal
ker, was the only person in the
building besides the nurses and pa
tients.
The leader of the mob placed his
hands over the policemen's eyes,
while others, who had entered the
building, set about to take their
man from the hospital. When
Walker was taken to the hospital ne
was strapped down in order to pre-
vent his escape. The mob seeing
this gathered up the bed and, placing
1t on the shoulders of four men,
started for the country.
They left the town by way of the
Towerville road and when a half
mile from the hospital stopped at
the farm of Mrs. Sarah Jane Newlin.
Here they entered field and quickly
ooSASAAA6 ny PAl0 Va uIJ grass anu
weeds placed the bed containing
their victim upon 1t.
The negro was begging piteously
to be released, but his pleadings fell
upon deaf ears. A match was placed
to the pile of grass and the flames
shot up quickly, entirely enshroud-
Ing the screaming victim. That not
a vestige of the murderer be- left,
the mob tore down the fence along
the road and piled the rails upon
the burning negro.
The lynching was accomplished
only after the negro, mad from pain,
had leaped from the blazing pyre
built over him and tried to escape,
dragging the bed to which he was
bound by his handouts. The mob
leaders beat him with fence rails and
forced him, shrieking, back into the
flames. Three times he bounded up
and three times was thrust back un,
til finally the quivering body fell
into the fire.
After waiting for half an hour the
mob dispersed as quietly as it had
come.
A curious feature of the burning
was the fact that there were almost
as many women in the crowd as men.

CLAIMS AND COUNTER-CLAIMS.
Smith and Terrell Leading in Geor'
gia Senatorial Race.

Atlanta, June 26.-Talk of the
possibility of a deadlock in the sena-
torial race in the legislature, which
meets Wednesday, became more wide
spread with the gathering of the
legislators here to-day. Friends of
Governor-elect Hoke Smith are
claiming thirty more than enough
votes to elect him, but, at the same
time, friends of Senator J. NJ. Ter
rell also are claiming more than
enough votes to elect him. In ad-
dition to these, there are several
other candidates, all claiming to
have enough votes pledged to them
to make things lively for the other
candidates.
The membership of the Legislature
numbers 22S, making 115 votes
necessary for an election.
The report was current to-day that
in the event Hoke Smith saw his
election was doubtful he would not
permit his name to be presented to
the legislature. Governor-elect Smith
declined to comment on the sena-
torial situation.

Tried to Commit Suicide.

Cincinnati, June 26.-The remark
able vitality of Henry Meyers, a Ia

brain exposed. 1t was some time be-

the hospital, where he has since re-
NAMED in a comatose condition.
The wound is ordinarily instantly
fatal, but the attending physicians
say that Meyers has good chance
to recover.
