tcucc Tor Richard James, negro
charged with the murder Of two
di,tillcry guards at Midway on
October s. a mob OF more than
50 men early Sunday morning
took the prisoner from the Wood
ford county Jail here and hanged
him from a tree less than mile
from Versailles ON the Frankfort
pike.
The mob drove up to the Jail
shortly before | 80 O'Clock Sun
day morning in seven automobiles
heavily loaded. \ guard was
quictly thrown about the jail, fol
lowing which four masked men
Knocked at the door OF the home
of John +. EdGcr, the jailcr.
When ne came to the door the
men seized him and Wrcstcd the
keys to the jail away from him.
You wont be harmed. but we
atc going to get James" the men
told him, nc said.
The mob then entered the Jail
and went to the cell where James
wa, confined. James resisted the
attempt of the mob to take him
frum his cell and it was only al
ter Il struggle that he was over
powered. 1t is said that when the
first man entered James's cell he
struck him with his fist and en-
gagged the others in a rough and
tumble fight
1t was only after the negro had
been struck over the head several
times with a blackjack that he
was subducd sufficiently for the
mob to take him from the Jail.
After taking James from his
cell, he was placed in one of the
waiting automobiles and taken
about onc-half mile from the city
limits of Versailles to the inter
section OF the pike leading from
Versailles to Frankfort with a
road that crosses to the Old
Frankfort pike.
Here from a lower limb Of a
cottonwood tree rope was
swung and the moose fastened
about the neck of the doomed
man. After he had been pulled
several feet from the ground the
other end of the rope was fasten-
cd about the base of another tree
and the mob drove off.
1t is said that James made des-
pcrate attempts to free himself
and the rope with which he was
hung was said to bear the teeth
marks of James, showing where
he had attempted to bite the rope
which was strangling him.

UPWARD TREND IN
new YORK COTTON
One Time Resulted in Advances of II
to 20 Points Over the Day
Before.

NEW YORK, July 29.-Enough bull
ish news developed in the cotton mar
ket today to give prices an upward
trend which at one time resulted in
advances of II to 20 points over last
night carrying October to 1912 and
December to 1850. Part of this ad-
vance yielded to later realizing but
the close was nevertheless steady at
net rise of seven to ten points
At the opening selling pressure from
New Orleans and foreign interests
weakened prices partly four points and
later offerings October to 11.SS or Z
points under the previous close but
further decline was prevented by in
creasing reports of a buIlish nature
from Texas where temperatures have
been high and crop deterioration more
extensive, according to a number Of
private advices received here. The
upward movement received later i'm
petus through favorable advices from
the dry goods district and cables re-
porting that organized short time in
the spinning sections at Manchester
had been ended, affecting nearly forty
million spindles which use American
cotton. This was in such direct con-
IFdSC 10 the SlOOIly reports previously
received from that quarter that it in
spired quite active covering on which
prices advanced TO the highest levels
of the day. One of the two private
crop reports received today was the
first to indicate a decline in condition
in excess of the normal for the period
The other, which made n condition of
IS. was from a New Orleans house
which in the past two months has
been practically identical in its re-
ports with those of the government
Judging the forthcoming bureau report
by the private crop figures already is
sued a condition around Cts would be
suggested with a total crop indication
of about $4,000 compared with s.
49, 900 bales last month. The fact
that new cotton is reported to be
moving freely in south Texas had lit
tie depressing effect on the market
because of the belief that adequate
government and other financing will
be provided to prevent any early flood
of cotton.

Election of these conditions is heard in
reports of less active buying from
wholesalers in secondary markets and
of holding off by country merchants
pending a clearer view Of admittedly
rather mixed crop conditions. These
conditions hold true, 100, despite the
fact that most activity continues to be
manifested in the apparel and kindred
trades and in face Of the increasing
talk of retailers stocks of seasonabIe
goods being almost uniformly light
The situation, however. finds quite a

COTTON DECLINED
TO new LOW LEVELS
Fairly Good Buying Prompted Mod
crate Rallies Toward The
End of Week.

NEW YORK, uly 2e.-As a result Of
selling pressure following more favor
able weather in the belt, the cotton
market this week declined to new low
levels for the month but encountered
fairly good buying at the decline
which prompted moderate rallies to-
wards the end Of the week. OF the
seven private crop reports issued thus
far, the average decline was Is points,
compared with a normal deterioration
@of "a for the period. Only one OF
the seven showed a decline in excess
Of the normal while a New Orleans
house that has been almost identical
with the government figures for the
past two months reported a condition
of 6s at the end of July. The indica-
tions of these seven authorities would
suggest a government: condition figure
on Monday of around 67.5, with total
crop indicated of about s,S00,000
bales, compared with S,433,000 bales
indicated a month ago.
Much interest has been taken in evil
dences of activity in the cotton goods
trade, especially in the demand for
ginghams which have become sud
denly popular throughout the country,
necessitating a run on the mills which
have been forced to adopt night work
in some cases and the re-starting of
New England mills which had 5een
shut down for some time. This news
vas supplemented by Manchester ad-
vices to the effect that organized short
time IN the spinning section had been
ended affecting nearly 10000 600 spin
dies which use American cotton
Whether or not the movement of new
cotton which has commenced in so'Ith-
EN- Texas and parts of Georgia and
Alabama becomes a burden on the
marltol will depend somewhat upon
the use made of private and gov2fn-
ment financing projects aimed to as
sist the marketing of the crop, while
bulls maintain that the low price alone
will :jmit the marketing to offerings
sufficient only to satisfy the most
III gent needs Of farmers for money.
There have been quite liberal exocrts
