nesses Attack of Mob Upon
The Negroes

Kervin, Tex, May 6 (By the Asso-
ciated Press)-Three negroes were
burned to death at the same stake
here at 5 O'clock this morning by
mob Of 500 determined men following
their alleged implication in the crimi-
nal assault and murder of 17-year-
old Ula Awsley, white girl, whose mu-
tilated body was found near here
Thursday night.
Snap" Curry. the first negro burn
ed, was taken from the custody Of
Freestone county officers earlier in
the night as he was being conveyed
from Wortham to some point west. It
is alleged that he confessed to the
mob he had assaulted and murdered
the girl and that in his confession he
implicated two other negroes, j. r.
Varney and Nose Jones.
The mob took the two other negroes
from the Jail and all three were then
rushed to Kervin, the home. of the
dead girl and an iron stake driven
into the ground on small square in
the heart Of the town. Wood was ac-
cumulated and saturated with oil.
Two Deny Guilt
Curry was burned first, then Var
ney and Jones. There was some delay
in burning the last two as they stead
fastly> maintained their innocence.
Third degree methods failed to bring
confession and they were finally
tossed into the flames on the strength
OF Currys testimony. After the third
negro had been burned all three bo-
dies were piled together and a mass
OF fuel and oil flung over them. This
was ignited and early today the flames
were still burning fiercely.
All three negroes were employed on
the the farm of j. T. King, prominent
farmer of this community, and grand
father OF the dead girl with whom she
lived, both parents being. dead. Mr..
King was present at the cremation
and the mob leaders are said to have
obtained his approval before lighting
the torches. The lynchings were car
ried out deliberately. There was no
discharge of firearms. 1t was report
ed, however, that the negroes were
mutilated before being tied to the
stake. With the exception Of few
shouts and the screams of the con-
denied men there was little to dis
turb the early morning quiet Of the
backWOods community

This crisis" he said, "is more
grave than the one the conference
sustained after the signing Of the
Russo German treaty at Rapallo on
Easter Sunday The conference be-
tween Foreign Minister Schanger Of
Italy and Japs Jaspar of Belgium,
however, created a good impression.
There are difficulties but they ara
not insurmountable.

created distinctly bad impression at
the conference at Villa de Albertis

Lloyd George of Garet Britain yes

do not ask them in the form Of credit
