Charged With Criminal
Assault and Murder
of White Girl
ONE OF TRIO CONFESSED
Other Two Stoutly De-
MED Guilt-Girl Stab
bed 23 Times

\
Kirwin, Texas, May 6.-Three ne
groes We're burned to death at the
same stake here at o'clock this
morning by mob of five hundred
men, following their alleged implica-
ton in the criminal assault and
murder of a 17-year-old white girl,
whose mutilated body was found
near here Thursday night.
"Snap" Curry, the first negro
burned was taken from the custody
of Freestone county officers early
last night as he was being conveyed
from Worthem to some point west.
1t is alleged that he confessed to the
mob that he had assaulted and mur-
dered the girl and that in his con-
fession he implicated the two other
negroes, ], H. Varney and Nose
Jones.
The mob divested the sheriff of
his keys to the Freestone county Jail,
where Jones and Varney were being
held as suspects. Hurrying to the
jail, the mob unlocked the doors and
took the two negroes in charge. All
three negroes were then rushed to
Kirvin, the home of tn edead girl,
and an iron stake driven into the
ground on a small square in the
heart of the town. Wood was accu-
mulated and saturated with oil. 4
Curry Burned First.
Curry was burned, then Varney
and Jones. There was some delay
in burning the last two, inasmuch as
they steadfastly maintained their
innocence. Third degree methods
failed to bring confession from
them and they were finally cremat-
ed on the strength of Curry's testi-
mony. After the third negro had
been burned to a crisp, all three
bodies were piled together and
mass of fuel and oil flung over them.
This was ignited, the flames soaring
25 or 80 feet in the air. Early today
the flame swere still burning fiercely.
The mob rapidly dispersed and, as
day dawned, there was only few
persons remaining to witness the af-
termath of the triple cremation.
All three negroes were employed
on the farmof J. T. King, prominent
farmer Of this community, and
grandfather of the dead girl with
whom she lived, both her parents be-
ing dead. Mr.. King was present at
the cremation and the mob leaders
are said to have obtained his approx
al before lighting the torches.
The lynchings were carried out in
orderly fashion. There was no dis
charge of firearms nor was any un-
due violence attempted, although it
| is understood the bodies of the ne
groes were mutilated before being
tied to the stake. With the eXcep-
ton of few shouts and the screams
of the condemned men there was
little to disturb the early morning
quiet of the backwoods community.
The plot where the burning took
place is in front of two churches.
One of the negroes is said to have
died singing a church anthem.
Kirvin, town of about 500 inhab-
itants, is situated in Freestone eoun-
ty, east central Texas, about 80
miles south of Dallas.
The young girl was riding her
horse home from school, several
miles from Kirvin, late Thursday
when she was attacked. Her body
was later found near the road with
twenty-three knife wounds in the
head, neck and chest.

Wichita Falls Chief of
Police Vanquished
Rowdy' Bal1ew
BALlEW HAD KILLED 8.
Had That Many Notches
in Revolver He Tried
to Draw
(By Associated Pressl


Wichita Falls, Texas, May Cd.
W. Mccormick, chief of police here
less than a month, today was the
cynosura' Of all eyes, for yesterday
he matched speed on the draw with
D. M. "Bud" BalIsw, one Of the few
remaining typical old-time peace Of
ficers of the southwest, a man with
at least eight notches on his gun
and known for his adroit handling of
a six-shooter, and Ballew died with
his boots on, just as he repeatedly
had predicted he would. BalIew's
old-style, single action .45 was only
half drawn from its holster when his
body fell with five steel-jacketed bull
lets fired from a newer model arm
by man trained for years in the
Texas rangers.
Ballew, until a few weeks ago q
deputy sheriff of Carter county,
Oklahoma, gun fighter eXtraordina-
ry, and in private wealthy stock
man, came to Wichita Falls to act
as Judge in the annual southwest
ern roundup.
Peaceful While Sober.
! For a score of years or more,
Oklahoma and Texas had known
him in his peaceable moments as a
daring, fearless guardian Of the law,
vanuuisher in manto-man pistol duels
of more than a half dozen truly
western bad men. In his cups, Bal
lew reverted to the type. eXtant in
the pre-statehood days, when "the
territory" harbored only compara-
lively few well-meaning citizens and
many who found the laXer laws there
more in keeping with their tempera-
ments. Drinking, Ballew was selz-
ed with an uncomfortable desire to
flourish his shooting irons, shout In
dian war whoops and send volley aft
er volley of shots splitting the air as
fast as he could work his thumbs on
the hammers. Chief Mccormick yes
terday feared such an outbreak, ne
said. Within the past fortnight Bal
lew on two occasions had shot up
small Oklahoma towns in broad day
light.
Word came to the chief that Bal
lew was drinking and might start
trouble. The officer went to soft
drink parlor, observed Ballew and,
tapping Ballew on the shoulder,
charged him with drunkenness and
demanded he hand over his pistol.
Ballow Slow to Draw.
Ballew turned half about with the
remark: "Hell, you're out O. luck" ."
The chief said the Oklahoman reahc-
ed for a pistol, and, beating him to
the draw, the chief fired from the
Ihip. Five bullets hit Ballew, two
from behind, one of them penetrat-
ING the brain. He died instantly.
Ballew was As years old
McCormick's record as an officer
is something of a contrast to that
of Ballew. He has small reputation
as a "gunman," and this was his
first killing. When a member OF the
Texas ranger force, Mccormick was
assigned to "clean up" the oil fields
during their most lawless days here
He arrested many gamblers. and al
legged "bad men" and has reputa-
tion for being cool and fearless. He
served with the rangers when war
threatened between Texas and OKLA

GONZAGA USES
BATHING SUITS
FOR PRACTICE
Gets Ready for West Vir-
ginia by Workouts on
Coronado Beach Clad in
Hot Weather Garments

San Diego Calf, Dec. 22,--Foot-
ball practice in bathing suits on a
beach was the novel sight afforded
to San Diego gridiron fans today
when the Gonzaga university
squad, here to meet West Virginia
at the city stadium Christmas day,
took a workout under the direction
OF Assistant Coach Bill Higgins.
The Gonzaga squad had come
from the northwest and a temp r.
ature lowering around the zero
mark, and Higgins did not want
has men to feel too much the balmy
IA degrees prevailing at Coronado,
whore the team is quartered. So
he got q lot of large sized bathing
suits from the hotel management
and ordered his charges into them.
The Gonzaga gridiron warriors
went down to the hard sand and
were put through brisk workout
Of an hour and a half.
Word was received here today
that the West Virginia squad was
in New Mexico today and had talk
en- short workouts at Albuquerque
and Gallup.

and those who knew of the shoot
ing viewed it merely as a case of
assault with a deadly weapon. In
fact, 1t is reported that an effort
was made yesterday morning to al
low Ford to plead to an informa-
ton charging such an offense. Now
Ford is in the county Jail with the
most serious charge on the statutes
hanging over him.
According to Mrs. Bittner and
other witnesses, Ford shot Miss
Domer in the lobby Of the Bittner
house between and 8 o'clock
Thursday night. They allege that
he fired three shots at her with
out warning, one of the bullets
striking her in the leg.
The police were called to the
scene and an ambulance called for
the wounded woman. A doctor ac-
companied the woman to the hos
pital to which she was removed.
An inquest is to be held at 1850
this afternoon, by Judge w. w.
Mcclellan. A special jury to try
the case was summoned yesterday
afternoon. The jury viewed the
body, but 1t was too late in the
day to transact any further busi-
ness in connection with the case.
The cause of death will not be
determined until after the jury
reaches a decision. 1t is believed
that an artery in the woman's leg
was severed by the bullet. The
theory has also been advanced thai
death may have been due to a
heart affection.
As far as known the only living
relative of the dead woman is her
mother, Mrs. John Domer. The
mother is reported to live in Coun-
ty Kerry, ireland.

JOHNSON MAKES ALL
WAC0'S SCORE IN
WIN OVER ABILENE

Fort Worth, Texas, Dec. "a
Abilene high school today lost the
state high school football cham
pionship to Waco in a hard fought
game that ended with the score
13 to 10 in favor of the Waco team.
Boody Johnson was unquestion-
ably the star of the game for Waco.
He scored all of the points made
by his team-one touchdown, one
goal from touchdown, and two
drop kicks that won the game in
the last period. One was from the
17-yard line and the other from
the 37-yard line.
Abilene, in the opinion Of critics
far outclassed Waco throughout
the game. Seventeen first downs
were made by the West Texas
team, whereas their opponents
made only nine. Waco apparently
had no defense that could stop the
hammering OF Coach Shotwells
three little backs.
