youth, who attempted an assault
on Mrs. j. +. lowers this morn
ing, was lynched in the court
house yard here at noon today
by q mob Of nearly . thousand
incensed citizens.
The mob broke down the iron
doors Of the Jail to secure the ne
gro who had been placed under
arrest two hours before. When
brought out Of his cell the negro
confessed he was guilty Of at
tempting the assault.
He was carried to the court
house yard and strung up to

The lynching took place in the
most public part Of town and was
witnessed by a great crowd Of
people. The negro's body was
left dangling to the tree but was
later taken down.
The sheriff Of the county and
many prominent citizens. en-.
deavored to prevent the lynching
but their efforts were in vain.
Feeling was high. The assem-
bled throng was not to be brook

reason Of cooler heads.
The attempted assault for
which the negro was hung took
place about 10 o'clock this morn

From WildersviIIe to-

Friday nights of last week, in
'cluding oil stops on the N. O. &
st. L. Railway from Wilders.
vile to Beech Bluff, the latter
on the edge Of Madison county.
i In the Wlldersville robbery on
Thursday night. the postofice
was entered and six dollars in
money secured. On the same
night the grocery Of Charlie
Scott and the Wildersville depot
building were also entered. Mr..
Scott missed nothing from his
house, and from depot only an
overcoat and clothes brush dis.
appeared. The Wildersville rob-
berry was said to have indicated
local talent"
The next burglary and by far
the most serious was pulled off
last Friday night at the flag sta
ton Of Life, FIVE miles west of
Lexington. The United States
postoffice and general store kept
by w. 4. Britt and his son. in.
law, j. R.>Reid, was entered be.

explosion was heard by Will
Wallace, who lives across the
railroad and who was divided
between belief that Messrs. Britt

and fear to go out and see what
the trouble might be. He did
not go out. The crew Of the

ed the safe, but had no order to
stop, and it was the telephone
back by the crew Of this train,
after reaching Jackson, that
gave Mr.. Britt his first informa.
tion of the robbery. Investiga.
tion showed that the loss to
Britt & Reid was not great
in money, not exceeding s25. 100,
but there also disappeared some
5000 worth of checks and notes
to the value of between $4,000
and $1,000. In the purse con.
tanning the notes was a watch
which had been left by a party
and having his name engraved
thereon. The notes and watch
were found next morning after
daylight under pile Of crossties.
The robbery of the postoffice
at Huron, also on Friday night,
was said to have netted the rob.
bers the sum Of about 60 cents
and an old pistol.
1t is said that the Luray office
was also entered on Friday night,
but we have not been able to
secure particulars.
At Beech Bluff, Madison
comfy, the loss was confined to
about $4,000 in stamps, all the
office had on hand at the time.
No explosive was used at any
place except Life. AT that place
it is thought that the robber or
robbers came on a north. bound
train just at IL o'clock, as there
were evidences of at least one
man alighting from that train,
and getting q fall in. the act.
Postoffice inspectors have been
called to the cases and we sup
pose that all reasonable effort
will be made to locate the rob-
bers.

COMMITTEE NAMED GIRL HAT LEADS
FOR WORLD MEET TO MURDER THEORY
Her Millinery and Meshbag
Found in Spot Designated
by SpirituaIist.

TRENTON, Oct. 2S.-Following the
finding of her hat and meshbag yes
terday afternoon at a lonely spot
near the Keller farm. a short dis
lance from the Yardley river bridge,
Mr.. and Mrs. Ralph Schanck, of this
city, declare that their missing daugh-
ter, Miss Grace Schanck, has been
attacked and slain and her body
taken into a thicket.
81 cannot believe anything else but
that my daughter has been murder
ed" said Mr.. Schanck today. Her
hat and meshbag were found far
from the river road and in a thicket,
and she would never have wandered
into such a place. If she had intend
ed to end her life by jumping into a
stream she would not have gone to
such an isolated place and then re-
turned to where there was deep
water"
Think Auto Figured.
Mrs. Schanck and other relatives at
the Schanck house are of the same
belief The former says that her
daughter could not have walked so
far because of her physical condition.
''She might have met some one in
an automobile and been taken part
way UP the road" said the mother.
land then dragged through the
thicket and slain"
peculiar feature of the case is
the fact that only the girls hat and
meshbag were found in the thiclet
of briars, trees and other brush. A
search of some distance from where
they were found failed to locate the
body.
Directed by spirituaIist.
Mrs Schanck says that two of her
relatives consulted spiritualist and
that both had been informed that the
girls body would be found in that
section. They were told that the
missing girl would be found lying
face downward in shallow water. The
medium also said that the girl did
not throw herself down to die"
The girl had no love affair, the rela-
from work at the Interstate telephone
office or from making a social call she
was always accompanied by girl
friends. She did not appear to care
FOR the society of young men.
while Grace had been ill.," said
Mrs. Schanck last night, she was
not in such a mental condition that
she would walk a long distance and
then end her life. I do not believe
that after she left me she walked to
the spot where her belongings were
found. She feared automobiles, but
she could have been lured into one
and then dragged into the brush and
slain or left there to die"

Boy and Girl Romance
Leads to Arrest of Young
Husband for DeSertiOn

boy -and-girl romance that de-
veoped into marriage when the girl
was seventeen years and the boy
nineteen had an aftermath in Quar-
ter Sessions Court before Judge
Harry V. Osborne today when Mrs.
Lillian Heyman, of 1877 Somerset
street, appeared as the complaining
v,itnes against her husband, Philip
Heyman, who lives with his mother
at 613 High street.
Heyman is charged with deserving
his wife and infant boy, Clifford J..
Heyman, on June Is, 1912, and. ac
cording to the story told by the young
wife on the witness stand today. she
has received but $5 from him since
that time for the support of herself
and child.
The marriage took place about five
years ago, while Heyman was a
student at the College of Physicians
and Surgeons, in Baltimore, and it
was testified to by Mrs. Heyman to-
day that, although Heyman was only
nineteen years old at the>time, he
swore he was twenty-one, in order to
obtain a marriage. license.
Heyman, who Suffers from a bad
impediment in his speech, became so
nevous while giving his test nony
that it became necessary for Judge
Osborne to- olear& the courtroom ee
all persons before Heyman could tell
his side of the story.
Slowly and with great effort in
talking. he said that 1t had been i'm
possible for him to- support his wife
and child. as his speech impeachment
had prevented him from finishing his
anedical course, and that he was still
studying, and was, therefore, unable
to earn any money.
Heyman's dislike of talking before
persons unknown to him caused him
to waive his right to be tried by jury,
and whether he will be found guilty
or not after the case has been fin
jshed will rest with Judge Osborne's
decision
