New York, Nov. 23.-An appea
for contributions to make up deficit
of approximately s1,5OO,00O in the

Mr.. Hays accompanied his plea fol
further funds by an expression Of

about $2,OOG,O0O to the fund, he
said.

his life for an assault on white wo-
man here today, was taken from the
court room and lynched by a mob.

barred from the court room during
the progress of the trial, gained ac-
cess to the court room by breaking
down two DOORS
After forcing an entrance to the
court room despite efforts of court
officers and others to prevent vlo-
lence, the negro was seized, rope
placed about his neck and dragged
two blocks through the main street
of the town after which the rope was
tied to the axle of an automobile,
which dragged him to Magee's creek

BRIBERY IS CHARGED
In SHIPPING PROBE
PRESIDENTS BROTHER-lN-LAW
MENTIONED.
Treasurer of Board-Witness Gets
Crossed Up and Fails to Stick to
Same Story.

New York, Nov. Qualifications
tending to implicate men now and
formerly connected with the United
States shipping board, with alleged
collision in securing contracts for
the Wallace Downey Shipbuilding
company of New York, were made
today by Tucker K. Sands, witness
before the Walsh committee investi-
eating shipping board affairs.
The men named and alleged to
! have participated in distribution of
more than 100000, were R. w. Boil
ing, brother-in-law of President Will
son, and now treasurer of the ship
! ping board; Lester Sisler, formerly
secretary of the board; John Cranor,
representative Of the Downey Ship
building company and Sands himself.
He testified that he received the
money in the form of ''notes," some
of which he discounted and at diff
ferent times described payments to
Boiling and Sisler as both "pay-
ments'' and 'loans."- In another
part of his testimony he asserted that
the money was to be understood as
commission to him for securing a
loan from the bank to the shipbuild-
ing company, with which the witness
was then connected.
Affidavit Submitted.
The testimony of Sands was pre-
ceded by that OF Alfred w. McCann,
reporter for the New York Globe,
who swore he had secured from
Sands an affidavit detailing the en-
tire transaction. McCann further
testified that when he took the affi-
davit to Sands for him to sign, he
declined to do so on advice of mis- at
torney. Previous to submitting the
affidavit for Sands signature, how
ever, McCann said he had taken the.
document to the shipping board and
had it photostated. One o. these
copies carrying notations in what was
testified to be Sands handwriting
and which Sands afterwards testified
to being "corect except that some of
the facts may be little different
was presented by McCann IN evil
dence. The document, however, was
not made part of the s,enograph-
ers' minutes of the hearing.
Crosses Owa Statement.
In the course of questioning by
Chairman Walsh and Congressman
Kelly, Sands said he did not think
Boiling ever got cent from any
body for aiding to get contract
that money given, him was "lcan."
At another time he stuck to a state
ment that Boiling was to get his
share of the transaction-that ne
"gave Sisler for one of his COM
panies $4,000 on his note which note
he still has. He SAID he had never
had any controversy with Boiling was
on friendly terms with him. He also
mixed into his testimony details of a
purchase by him from Boiling of &
lot for 5000.
Sands testified he was now under
indictment "for allowing company
to overdraw-a shipping company. IN
which l was Interested He testi-
fed that he was then connected with
the Commercial National bank OF
Washington "as it's cashier" He also
testified he had endeavcrel without
success to secure Mr.. Poiling's lnf5u-
ence to have this case settled.
