Ellisvillc, Miss, June 26.-Trailcd
ton days through three Southern Mis-
sissippi counties by posses which in
cludcd several hundred members OF
his own race, John fairfield, Negro
confessed aSSailant of an lGllisyilc
young woman was captured desperate
ly wounded near Collins at Gaybrcal1
this morning, taken to the scene of
his crime, hanged TO q gum tree and
then burned to ashes. His victim, wit
messed the lyn"hing.
While Negroes took part in the act
ual lynching Of fairfield, posse lead
crs freely admitted they rendered val
liable assistance during the chase,
knowing when they enlisted that it
was intended to lynch the fugitive
when he was caught.
The lynching was conducted in u
manner which the authorities charac-
terizcd as orderly. Guarded by n com
mittcc of citizens Of Ellisville, Hart
field was taken first to the office Of
DR.. a. j, Carter who after cxamina
ton of gunshot wounds received when
the fugitive made his fight against
capture declared the Negro could not
live moro than twcnty-four hours. In
the meantime group of silent mon
were piling croSstics and brush in q
depression III tho ground near the
railroad trostlc. There was no shoot
ing. Arrangements apparently had
been made days ago.
The vicim OF Hartfiold's crime was
escorted into he physicians Office
after the wounds had been examined
She positively identified him as her
assailant. When she left tho Negro
said to the committee: "You have tho
right man."

HANGED TO BIG GUM TREE.

Then there were quiet conferences.
Members Of tho committee circulat
ell in nhe crowd. Reports that there
would be IL burning" at S o'clock
gave way to statements that there
would be Hanging Mt the big gum
tree" fairfield was told what the
crowd intended doing with him, but
only repeated: "You have the right
man." Later he said he knew he was
going to die and declared he wished
to warn "aH men. white and colorcd
TO think before doing wrong"
fairfield was not taken to Jail al
though earlier reports were that he
had been lodged there. From the doc
tors office he was taken to the street
and faced tho crowd. You have the
right man." he reiterated. Then n
moose found its way around his neck
and tho trip to the big gum tree was
started, the crowd still ominously
silent.
Under the big gum tree fairfield
forcibly detained his victim all of
the night of Sunday June 10. 1t was
under limb Of the same gum tree
that fairfield was hanged rs soon
as the rope could be pulled up by
hundreds Of hands. Then occurred
the first demonstration. While tInc
body was in its death struggles, pis-
tolls werc produced by the men in the
crowd and fired point-blank at the
swinging form. Before the rope had
been cut by bullets burning fagots
were thrown under the body, and an
hour later there was only a pile of
ashes
VICTIM WITNESSES EXECUTION
The victim with her aged mother
witnessed the execution When she
reached her home she was informed
that more than $1,000 had been sub
scr bed for her use by people in the
crowd.
lyn2hing and tonight the little town
was quiet. Most Of the visitors from
the surrounding country left for their
homes.
Petitions to Governor Bilbo to pre-
vent the threatened lynching brought
Il reply from the executive to the ef
feet that he was utterly powerless"
as the State had no troops. Further
more" the Governor was quoted as
saying excitement is at such q height
through South Mississippi that any
armed attempt to interfere with the
mob would doubtless result in the
deaths Of hundreds of persons. The
Negro has confessed says he is ready
eyitable from happening"
