While in the Smoking Car, a Fusillade Left Him Riddled With Bullets. ATTEMPTED ASSAULT CHARGED Taylorsville, Ky., July. 8. – Lon Beard, a young negro, charged with an attempt to criminally assault Mrs. Chester Crawford, of the Normandy neighborhood, was shot to death yesterday afternoon while being taken to Shelbyville on a train for safekeeping. He had been in the jail here and fearful of a mob it was decided to take him away. When the train made its regular stop at Normandy station, about 25 men got aboard. The negro with the officer, was in the smoking car and before the trainmen or the officer knew what was happening, there was a thunder of firearms and the negro was dead, riddled with bullets and buckshot. It is generally accepted that he was killed by Chester Crawdord, husband of the negro’s intended victim.  The negro went to Mrs. Crawford’s home at 11 o’clock Thursday night and forced an entrance through a window. She was alone in her home with the exception of several children and was awakened by the negro springing upon her in bed. She resisted as best she could, and called the oldest child, aged eight, to summon help. The child ran to go out the front door when the negro left his victim and attempted to stop the child. Mrs Crawford then escaped by a back door and cried for help. Neighbors soon arrived, but not before the negro made his escape. Mrs. Crawford was bruised, but escaped serious injury. The negro was captured on his farm and held until the arrival of officers. When questioned the negro would neither affirm nor deny his guilt. Crawford is said to have stepped aboard and fired seven bullets into the negro’s body. He at once surrendered to the sheriff and after the coroner’s verdict was rendered, was released on a bond of $1,000, signed (incomplete) Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Paducah Sun Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1905-07-08 Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Bridan Braun Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource Image Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant Normandy, Spencer County 1900-1910 1905 Beard Normandy Spencer County https://drvk.createuky.net/news-articles/files/original/a7515a31a751087d0e636121a7d7d704.jpg 36a50040215b044f0441d5df5dc3f826 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Beard, The Broad Ax, July 15, 1905 Subject The topic of the resource Beard, Lewis Charge, attempted rape Mob, 25 members Mob, shooting Description An account of the resource The white Christians of Shelbyville, Ky., mobbed and lynched a Negro the first of the week who was simply charged with assaulting Mrs. Chester Crawford, a white lady. To prove that the white Christian gentlemen were simply savaged and not in favor of law and order, they rushed into the day coach, in which the Negro was seated while being transferred to prison, and they riddled his body with bullets as he sat in his seat. In other sections of the South 10 or 12 Afro-Americans have been unlawfully murdered in the past two weeks and yet there are many fools who claim that mob and lynch law is a thing of the past in this so-called highly civilized country.
