UNDERTAKERS
FOUND Boys
BODY HEAVY
Jerome Whitfield, Lynched
By North Carolina Mob,
Had Body Full of Lead
Thousand Shots Fired.

Winston, \. c.. Aug. 25.-Undertak-
ers engaged in cutting down the body
of Jerome Whitfield from the tree
where it was hanging and prepared it
for burial, found that it was twice its
normal weight.
Investigation showed Whitfield to
have been literally shot TO pieces,
Hundreds of bullets penetrated the
body but many hundreds of others re-
maincd embedded i'm the flesh and
bone.
A mob. estimated mt from 1,5O0 to
1000 hung Whitfield to tree by the
roadside near here and then riddled
his body with Il thousand bullets.
Whitfield was charged with having
assaulted the wife of IA white farmer.
When he got word early that he was
suspected of the crime, he made an
attempt To escape. Members of the
mob used bloodhOunds to track him,
however. He was placed in an auto
mobile and rushed to the home of the
allyeged assault victim. Some mem
bers of the mob say he was Identified
and others say he was not. 1t didn't
make any difference; they were out
for blood but needed the woman's re-
quest not to lynch him in her back
ward and they took him mile down
the road further.

Salvationists set out on foot through
knee-deep mud and reached the city
by walking.
Within a week an orderly collec-
ton of tents at twenty-second and

over two city square blocks was .sr-

father had lived in southern Oregon.
He looked along the bottom of his map

Linkville.
Time was when Linkville was one

father had sent him had been mailed
at town that bore this name. But

were starting up the long, curved
road that led to the Divide.
During the hour that they were
crossing over the foothills, on the way
to the big timber, Silas Lennox talked
great deal about the frontiersman
that had been Dams grandfather. A
mountain man does not use profuse
adjectives. He talks very simply and
very straight, and often there are long
