Brooklyn Boy Is
Lynched by Mob

NEW YORK, April 25.-In a newly
made grave in Evergreen Cemetery lies
Henry Hoefner, 10 years old, who left
his Brooklyn home three weeks g to
seek his fbrtune in the West. 1t is not
known.to his parents that he met death
by lynching. although such is the case.
They were overwhelmed with grief
when his body arrived Monday. accom-
panied by a relative. who told them
that his death was the result of a mlys-
terious accident"
John H.. Hoefner, a merchant tailor
at 1881 Atlantic avenue, told yesterday
of receiving the body of his sob on
Monday and of its burial on Tuesday
without a last loold at the features Of
the dead. Hoefner said he had been
urged not to open the coffin and had
complied.
Yet this youth of nineteen was taken
from the Jail in Forsythe, Mont, by a
mob last Thursday, three days after
the murder of a housewife who had
surprised an intruder in her home, and
hanged to a tree near the Masonic
Temple in Forsythe. 1t was the first
lynching in Montana for nearly ten
years, and the authorities did every
thing in their power to keep it secret.
Hoefner was highly esteemed by
those who knew him in Brooklyn. n
seemed to be a sober-minded, am
bilious youth.
