fall, negro who assaulted Mrs. Julia
Higgins, aged 76 at Rawlins, Monday
night, was lynched by convcts in the
state penitentiary grounds today.
Wigfall was captured last night and
placed in the county Jail here. A mob
surrounded the building threatening
to lynch the negro, but was finally
dispersed by the authorities who re-
moved Wigfall to Rawlins. A rope
secured by convicts in the state penl-
tentiary at Rawlins ended Wigfall's
career.
Wlgfall chopped down the door of
the Higgins home, overpowering the
aged woman and assaulted her. A
posse took up his trail and pursued
the negro into the hills where he was
captured last night and later lodged
in the Rawlins county jail.
Mobs led by the most prominent cit
liens and armed with shotguns and
railroad iron gathered about the jail
as Wigfall was transferred to the
state penitentiary. Three hundred
convicts in the state penitentiarl
heard the negro being brought in at
in the morning. While on the way t
the broom factory, the convicts over
powered the guards and turnkey, re
leased the negro and after fastening
rope around his neck, tied the othe
end to the railing fifty feet above tn
main floor Wigfall, screaming II
protest, was hurled over the side an
fell 25 feet before his neck snapped.

THINK THE

SCORES OF TALEsMEN IN THE ET-

JURORS, SAYING THEY BELIEVE
THE ACCUSED MEN ARE INNO-
CENT.

Salem, Mass, Oct. 2.-That the
wholesale refusal of talesmen to quail
ify as Jurors will eventually mean the
discharge of Joseph Ettor, Arturo
Giovinnitti and Antonio Caruso, on
trial for the murder of Anna Lopizzo,
who met death during the big indus
trial struggle at Lawrence last win
ter, was the prediction here today of
defense attorneys. Scores Of talesmen
already examined have testified Of ina
bility to act because of confirmed be-
liefs that the accused men are inno-
cent.
1--WE do not think" said one of the
defense attorneys today, that the re-
naming talesmen can supply enough
men to fill the box. If the case is sus-
pended until another venire is called
we will ask that the prisoners be re-
leased on bail"
District Attorney Atwill believes
that the talesmen are being intimidat-
ed.
Something" said Atwill today, "is
radically wrong. Perhaps the tales
men are alarmed by the appearance Of
blackhand letters and realize that

about II o'clock at point on the
Eola road distance of about 31s
miles from Salem by an overturned
automobile. Mr. McCorkle left Salem
short time before II o'clock alone on

From the fact that the dead man
was found with his face downward in
pool Of several inches Of mud and
water, the theory is advanced that he
was strangled and drowned in the
slime and mud, as there are no marks
on the body. The tracks left by the
