He Beat Small Child to Death as
Sunday Morning Recrea.
ton.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 6.-The record
in the case of James Tate, negro,
convicted of murder in Tate county
last year, bring to light one of the
most brutal crimes ever committed
in the state of Mississippi. Tate, on
conviction of the crime, was sentenc-
ed to hang, and his attorney appealed
the case to the supreme court, and it
will be submitted for argument to-
day.
Tate, according to the evidence,
married a woman with a child about
three years old. This child was "a
pet aversion of Tate's, it seems, and,
not caring to go to church one Sun
day morning, he spent the entire fore
noon beating and kicking the child,
till it died.
This occurred in the summer OF
1910, and when the facts became
known to the negroes of the neigh
pOi hOou INC Nhllc pSOpiS Hdu W pIO'
tect Tate to keep members of his own
race from lynching him. The case
was finally called for trial and the
testimony of those who witnessed the
murder, is revolving story.
Tate whipped the child with a strap
till he was tired. He then kicked it
few times, took a rest and whipped
it again, administering several kicks
to the child. 1t became unconscious
from the brutal treatment it received
at the hands of it's step-father, and
was left lying in the yard. Fearing
to go near him, the child crawled out
into fence corner, where it laySfor
some time, but Tate looked it up and
again beat it.
At another time the child tried to
crawl into the house, but Tate kicked
it out of the door. This process was
kept up for several hours, the child
finally dying from it's injuries.
