FOR MURDER OF WOMAN
Dillard Wilson Strung Up on Bank o.
.Lyncle's River and Riddled With
Bullets for Killing Mrs. j.
Ezekiel Truluck.

The State.
Lynchburg, Nog. 24.-Hung up by
tie heels and riddled with bullets by
mob Of about 100 men on the banks
of Lynche's river, near here, billiard
Wilson, negro changing convict,
was lynched about noon today or t e
murder of Mrs. J. Ezekiel Tru!uck,
wife of a farmer living near Hudsons
bridge. When taken from among the
convicts by the mob the negro con-
fessed the crime
Wilson, who was trusty on the
Sumter Changing, now working near
here, went to Mrs. Truluck's house to
get some milk early this morning. Re-
turning later in the day he attacked
ner with a razor, which he lad stolen
from guard, cutting her throat. AS
she endeavcred to rise he kicked her
in the face and sse fell again. The
negro t7en called to her little son, who
had been near her at the time of tie
attack, 10 come close and see his
mother. The boy approached, but saw
the blood streaming from his mothers s
throat and fed, screaming. The negro,
unable to catch hi mand alarmed by
TIE outcry, made off into the woods
Meantime Mrs. Truluck gathered
her failing strength and staggered into
tie public road, where she fell dead.
Her little boys cries brought neigh
bors. Their assistance was too late to
help the unfortunate woman, but they
came in time to track the murderer
Pursuers followed a trail through
the woods to a point where the negro
had changed his clothing. The dis
earded suit, clotted with the blood O.
is victim, was found later.
The boy reported that the murderer
wore convicts clothes and the searcn
of course was carried to the chaingang
Headquarters. The overseer locked al
the prisoners in the cage for e1amina-
ton.
The TWO camp cooks announced t2 at
Wilson had been absent about tie
time of the murder. He stoutly denied
the crime, but strGng evidence was
brought against lin. A blood stained
piece of underclothing, found where
ne had changed his suit, fitted the
place where a piece had been cut from
MS underclothes. The negro at first
sought to ascribe the crime to an
other negro, but finally, upon being
identified by the little son of the muir
dered woman, he broke down and con-
fessed.
With this confirmation of its sus-
picions, the crowd changed into
mob hungry for his death. Despite the
pleadings of law officers and cooler
citizens, the angered men took the
negro from the chaingang authorities
and bore MIN to the banks o Lyncse's
river. Tsere their design was consrm-
mated with speed.
The negro was strung up by his
reels from a tree and his swaylng
body was riddled with bullets. At last
accounts the body was still hanging
there, where the mob's bullets had
brought him death.
Wilson, who was about IS years
old, was serving a sentence for store
breaking in Mayeswille.
Mrs. Truluck, who was about "a
years of,age, was universally respected
and beloved in tnis section. She leaves
fher husband and two small sons, aged
and I years. Before her marriage
to Mr.. Truluck she was Miss Kelly.

REcAPTURED KEEPERS IN
 TOOL SHED TRAP Two Belonging to Moosup Valley Farmer Had Gone Rack to Nature"


 After having eluded capture for sey- eral months two valuable heifers be- longing to Arthur Dexter of MoOsup week in an empty tool shed fitted up as trap by H. R. Hoadley, formerly of New Haven, who is manager of farm in North Sterling. The animals were so wild that 1t was impossible to hardly get within sight of them. Numerous attempts had been made to catch them and on two occasions hounds had been set on their trail in an effort to tire them out. Mir. Hoad- ley conceived the idea of trapping them, and to that end made a large pen six feet in height, with a swing
 ing gate. so arranged that when a rope on which some bait had been placed was pulled, the gate would close.
 The first night the trap" was set it actually caught one of the cattle but when an attempt was made to throw a rope around her neck she cleared the six foot fence in one leap and made for the woods to repoin her companion It was thought that this experience would make them wary, but MT. Hoad- ley repeated his former tactics of plaC- ing a line of bait from the woods to the barn and after about a week the two heifers reappeared. The door of an empty tool shed was fastened open in such a manner as 10 permit of it's being shut by pulling rope at the nights of waiting the heifers entered the shed at about II o'clock and the door was sprung shut. It took seven men nearly two hours to secure the animals, so well developed had their back to nature" proclivitics become.
