The march to her home was taken
up and on the way Asa Thornhill,
about 20 years old. who, it had been
reported, had lauded Finley's attack,
was seized The crowd gathered in
numbers as it proceeded and when 1t

vantage. While Finley was taken to
the Rose home the leaders of the
mob resolved to hang Thornhill.
Pleading for his life the boy was
bound and executed. In a few min
utes 1t was announced that Mrs. Rose
had satisfied herself of the identity
of Finley. He was hanged to the
same tree and a number of shots fired
into his body. Quietly and methodi-
cally the mob gathered a quantity of
wood, built fire and placed the bod

BODIES BURNED
Paducah, KY, Mob of 5000
Hitch Auto to Ropes Around
Victims Necks

Paducah, KY, Oct 16. - The ne
groes were lynched by a mob here to-
day and their bodies burned. One was
charged with attacking a white wo-
man and the other was accused of
voiclng approval of his action.
One was taken from the county Jail
and the other was seized on the
streets. Followed by a crowd esti-
mated at 5000 persons, a large part
of them in automobiles. the negroes
were taken to the home of the woman,
about two miles away. While one of
them was presented to her for identi-
fication the other was taken to a tree,
a rope thrown over q limb, his neck
encircled in moose and an automo-
bile hitched to the other end. As soon
as the other negro had been identi-
fled as the assailant of the woman, he
was led to the same tree and the pro-
cess repeated. After assuring them
selves that both negroes were dead
the members of the mob lowered the
bodies and placed them on a blazing
pile of brush. The bodies were char
red Eeyond recognition.
Worked Five Hours TO Get In
The lynching came after five hours
labor to enter the cells in the Jail and
were the outcome of an attack made
Friday upon Mrs. George Rose at
her home in the suburbs. The mob
gathered about Z o'clock to-day after
hearing that the police had arrested
Brick Finley, a negro about 35 years
old, who answered to the description
of Mrs Roses assailant. The mob de-
manded the prisoner. refused to heed
the appeal of city and county officers
to dispense and brushed aside the
police reserves that had been sent to
the scene. They battered down the
Jail doors, but found that the prison
ers had been locked in steel cells
Failing to find the keys they sent for
a foundryman to cut the bars to Fin
leys cell. Shortly before noon he
had made an opening sufficient to en-
able the negro to emerge. He quietly
walked out of the building with his

Washington, January 16-General Carranza today renewed his assurances to the United States that he would make every effort to punish those re- cans near Santa Ysabel.

 Assurances that "condign punish ment" would be visited upon the mur derers already had been given the state department through Mir. Arredondo. Whether a formal note from Carranza is to follow has not been revealed.

 "The government under my direc- tion, has adopted every necessary meas ure to insure the prosecution of an energetic campaign for the capture and destruction of the party of villista bandits and to continue the same to it's accomplishment.

Irregular Movements in
 Securities During Week

New York, January 16--Trading in securities last week was attended by series of highly irregular movements in which specialties suffered substan- tial declines and recoveries. The early period was marked by very general selling of intuition shares, some of these stocks falling to levels which effaced fully half of last autumn's me- teoric gains.
 Further uneasiness was provoked by the Mexican situation. Stocks with connections in that country broke sharply, but partially recovered on Washington's attitude of noninterven- ton, A very large proportion of the weeks operations by the professionals, who took the selling side of the ac- count, on the theory that the market was due for a reaction. Extensive covering by that same element contrib uted largely to the readjustment of quoted values of the last two days.
 There was further discussion of in- dustrial and commercial conditions. predicted in part upon the general statement issued by Chairman Gary of the United States Steel corporation,

Minor Austrian successes against the Italians are men, toned among which are the capture of a trench near Tolmino in which 933 prison- CTS and two machine guns were cap tured
