 Mrs. Campbell idetified the body of the negro before she was taken to Texas.
 The negro is said to have lived in Caddof and there that race predomi- mates numerically. As soon as the blacks heard of the death of Mrs. Campbell's assaiant, they attempted to organize and seek revenge. To forestall that move, the white men of Caddo formed posse and posted signs, warning all negroes to leave town before Saturday night.
