 The county prosecutor, after retir- ing for the day, left his only son to talk to the press and other inqulrers. This son was no less than Roscoe Conkling Fitch, the former North western university freshman who re- gently bounded into the limeligh with weird and quite fictitious con fessioh of knowledge of the death of Leighton Mount in Evanston, III.
 Roscoe accepted his responsibility hounced that he had wired the att torney general at Lansing for in structions, that he would see to it that his father told the governor all about the days lawlessness, and that later in the day he probably would join the hundreds of others on the Lincoln Hills golf course for round or two of pill-pushing.

Accused Of Attacking White Woman With A Deadly
 Weapon

YAZOO CITY, Miss, July 29.-wil- lie Minnifield, negro farm hand, was burned at the stake in swamp about IS miles southeast of here at II o'clock this morning by mob of about 50 men, who accused him of at tacking Mrs. William Russell of Myrleville, with an axe early last night and inflicting wounds which, pf ysicans believe, will prove fatal.
 Minnifield and another negro were captured at 10 o'clock this morning by a posse, members of which de- clared that the negroes were burning overalls which were stained with blood. The second negro, possemen asserted, declared that he stood out side Mrs. Russelrs home while Minni- field, a farm hand on the Russell place, entered the house. In the con- fusion attending the lynching of Min niefield. the other negro, whose name could not be ascertained escaped and is now being sought ill the swamp. A mob of about 50 men took Minnitield from the posse, according to reports received here. He was tied to a stake on the spot and burned to death.
 Mrs. Russell was attacked in her home at 9 o'clock last night. Her husband, who owns a store at Myrle- vile, was not at home. A 5-year-old son was not awakened during the at tack on his mother. No attempt at criminal assault on Mrs. Russell was made, officials declared.
 Russell, returning home at mid- night, after closing his store. found his wife unconscious in a trunk. It is believed she fell into the trunk while trying to find clothes with which to bandage her wounds. She was severely cut about the head and was brought to local hospital inn mediately. but physicians do not be- lieve she can live through tonight
