Ill FROM MOCK LYNcHING
Prisoner of Wisconsin Sheriff Con.
fesses After Having Rope Put
Around His Neck.

Kenosha, Wis.-Andrew r. Stahl,
sheriff Of Kenosha county, staged a
mock lynching near Salem the other
day, with the object Of frightening
Wiley Davie, a negro, to confess steal
ing shotgun. His plan was success
full but the negro Is now in Jail, suffer
ing from nervous prostration.
The gun was taken from Fred A.
Sharp Of Kenosha. He had been hunt
ing, and was asleep in a field when the
negro passed. He told q hard luck
story, and Sharp gave him dollar.
Then Sharp went to sleep again, and
the negro returned and stole the
gun.
Sharp awoke, missed the gun and
suspected the negro. Davie was cap
tured. He did not have the gun with
him, however, and protested that he
had not stolen 1t. The sheriff believed
the negro was lying and decided on
a mock lynching scheme as means
of making him confess.
Several farmers surrounded the pris-
oner. and the sheriff told him he had
better confess. Then one of the farm
ers got a rope. It was thrown over
the prisoners neck, and he was being
marched toward tree when he sud.
denly halted and called out.
"Don't hang me, men; I'll tell where
the gun Isl
The rope was taken from his neck,
and he led the sheriff to nearby
swamp, where the gun was found hid
den.
4 guess that is some third degree,
boys, and am much obliged to you for
helping 1t out" was the only comment
of the sheriff, as he tucked the negro
into the automobile and started for
Kenosha.
Dayie believes that the mock lynch
ing was bona hde uprising of thu
farmers against the black race.
