                <text>&lt;strong&gt;FULL STORY OF HILL LYNCHING&lt;/strong&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;Confesses Crime and Mob Sings Hymn Before Hanging Murderer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;DANVILLE, Ky., Dec. 18. – Elmer Hill, confessed child-murdered, paid the death penalty for his crimes Wednesday night. As the hangmen were looping the rope around his neck, he broke down and confessed his guilt, declaring that death was his just punishment and requested that the mob which had hi min charge sing one of the old familiar songs that he had often heard in the little meeting house at Russell Springs and then offer prayer for his soul.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;The mob leader stopped proceedings and the determined men, at the request of the prisoner, sang, “Jesus Lover of My Soul,” while one of the members followed with prayer. Hill then told his executioners that he was ready to die and his body was jerked into the air. The rope being securely fastened the mob quietly dispersed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;Mob Members Give Details.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;Persons residing in the vicinity where Hill was hanged heard the singing and praying, and the exact facts afterwards leaked out from members of the mob, which is backed by the whole citizenship of Adair and Russel counties.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;When the mob appeared at the jail in Monticello, Hill prayed to his Savior, begged for mercy and vigorously declared his innocence of the awful crime, but deaf ears were turned to his entreaties. He continues to plead innocence until the rope had been looped around his neck.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;The crime for which Hill was hanged was one of the most heinous ever committed in Central Kentucky, and stirred Russell and surrounding counties to fever heat.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;Victim His Own Cousin.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;On Tuesday evening of last week he intercepted his cousin, twelve-year-old Mamie Womack, on the county road at a lonely spot in the vicinity of Russell Springs as she was returning to her home from school at Mt. Olivet.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;After assaulting his little relative, he choked her, then beat her brains out with a club and carried her body two hundred yards into a dense thicket, where her dead form was covered up with leaves. The body was found at 10 o’clock at night by a searching party, whose members feared that the little girl had met an evil fate. Blood hounds were hurried to the scene of the crime from Hustonville. They reached there the following day at 9 o’clok.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;Murderer at Victim’s Home.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;In the meantime Hill had visited the Womack home, had seen the remains of his victim and appeared to be visibly affected. A bystander remarked that the murdered would be burned at the stake as soon as trailed down by the bloodhounds, and that the dogs were coming. Hill, who had not been suspected, hastened from the house and fled into the woods of Russell county.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;The bloodhounds arrived and were taken to the scene of the tragedy and given the scent from the club with which the little girl had been beaten. From that point they went into the thicket where the body was found and thence followed the trail to the residence of Hill’s grandfather, where he had spent the night. The trail was followed to the Wamock home, and then the long hunt of five days through the woods began.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;Murderer Found in Adair&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;The murderer was frequently heard of in advance of the hounds, but each time succeeded in eluding the officers who were sent ahead. Finally after covering a distance of ninety miles over mountains and through dense thickets, the fugitive criminal was found in an old barn near Sano, Adair county, where he had fallen asleep from exhaustion. He was captured last Sunday morning about 9 o’clock.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;The officers hurried Hill to Jamestown, the county seat of Russell county, where he was placed in jail. Notwithstanding the fact that it was Sunday, Judge H. H. Dunbar called a special term of court and entered upon the examining trial of the prisoner, but so many determined men began gathering in the little town that the trial was stopped and the prisoner returned to jail and a guard placed around him.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;Officers Warned of Mob.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;Before 9 o’clock Sunday night the officers began receiving messages to the effect that a mob was forming and would attempt to take Hill from the jail at Jamestown. He was quickly taken into the woods several miles east and held until the following morning. In the meantime the jail at Jamestown was visited by a mob, an hundred strong, the doors were broken down and finding that Hill had been removed, the mob began a search of the residences of the town.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;Fearing the mob, the Russell county officers, instead of returning with the prisoner, took him overland fifty miles away to Monticello. On Monday&amp;nbsp; night it was learned that a mob was on its way to Monticello and Jailer Ramsey and Sheriff Wright removed the prisoner from the jail and started for Lexington with him. They were intercepted, however, and informed that the mob had gotten as far as the Cumberland river and being unable to cross, returned home.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;Thought He Would Be Safe.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;It was then felt that Hill would be safe at Monticello and he was returned to that point. Parties were stationed at the most favorable river crossing the notify the officers at Monticello, but the mob evidently knowing of the action of the officers, took an entirely different route, reaching Monticello at 11 o’clock Wednesday night at an unexpected time.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;Practically all of the people were asleep and knew nothing of the presence of the mob until this morning. The jail was visited by twenty-six armed men who called Jailer Ramsey to the door on the pretense that they had a prisoner. The officer was covered with Winchesters and forced to unlock the door and point out the cell of Elemr Hill. Crouched in a one corner Hill begged the mob to show him mercy and to spare his life.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;Confessed at Last Moment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;He was placed behind a member of the mob on horseback and carried to Greasy Creek, where the rope was looped around his neck and thrown high over a limb. Not until this was done did he confess his guilt. He was twenty-seven years of age and came of good parentage.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;Some years ago he was arrested on the charge of assaulting a school girl, but broke jail and eluded arrest for two years. When he returned the matter had died out and he was not tried.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;His body was cut down at 10 o’clock yesterday morning by the Coroner of Russell county. The mob which hanged Hill rode fifty miles over mountains and through thickets for the purpose of accomplishing its object.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</text>

                <text>&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;LYNCHED IN NICHOLASVILLE AT HIGH NOON&lt;/strong&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;NEGRO WHO COMMITTEE DREADFUL CRIME HANGED FROM TREE IN COURT HOUSE YARD BY A MOB.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;NICHOLASVILLE, Ky., Feb. 6. – (Associated Press.) – Tom Brown, the negro arrested last night charged with criminally assaulting Miss Della Powell, a young white woman, while en route home form the Jessamine Institute, was lynched in the Court Hourse yeard here at noon today in the presence of a large crowd. Brown was 19 years old. He assaulted Miss Powell about 5 o’clock last evening. Officers this morning took him to the scene of the tragedy, where his shoes were found to fit tracks in the snow; thence to the house of Miss Powell’s brother where she is still prostrated from injuries.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;The report was circulated that the officers intended to take the prisoner to Lexington for safe keeping. Over 200 armed men followed the officers, who were conveying the prisoner in a carriage, and threatened to shoot the negro if an attempt to take him to Lexington was made. When the victim had a second time positively identified Brown as her assailant, &amp;lt;iss Powell’s brother, heavily armed, led the crowd that followed the carriage of the officers with their prisoner on its return trip. Meantime another large crowd assembled at the jail in waiting for Brown. As the carriage dashed up to the jail, the crowd surrounded it and seized both the officers and prisoners. They dragged the negro from the officers who made the strongest resistance possible. Then Brown was hurried to the Court House yard, two blocks away, where a rope was quickly put around the nefro’s neck, thrown over a limb of a tree immediately in front of the building and the negro quickly drawn up. He was strangled to death and then left hanging as the crowd quietly dispersed without firing a shot or any such disturbance as is usual among enraged crowds. Very many ladies witnessed the hanging and applauded it. Brown made no statement.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;The instructions to the Coroner by the county officers were to return a verdict of death at the hands of unknown citizens of Jessamine county.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;The body was cut down after hanging for several hours, during which time thousands viewed it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;It was then turned over to an undertaker and has not yet been claimed by the family. Hundreds of county citizens are in the city tonight. There has been some mutterings among the colored population but no trouble is feared.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;HOW ASSAULT OCCURRED.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;Miss Powell, who is sixteen years old, is a student at the Jessamine Institute in this city, and lives at her brother’s home, about three miles north. Last evening she started home in company with the Misses Bradem, who also live out of town and attend school here.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;Leaving the Braden girls at their home, Miss Powell continued on foot to her brother’s about half a mile further on. At a secluded spot an unknown negro sprang out from the roadside and assaulted her.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;When she reached her brother’s house a half hour later she was so ill and dazed that she could give but little description of her assailant, beyond saying that he was a low, heavy set, yellow negro. She was able today fully and clearly identify him when he was brought to her brother’s home.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</text>

                <text>&lt;strong&gt;TERRIBLE CRIME NEAR NICHOLASVILLE&lt;/strong&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;GIRL RETURNING FROM LEXINGTON WAS DRAGGED FROM HER CONVEYANCE BY A BRUTAL NEGRO.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;NICHOLASVILLE, Ky., Feb. 5. – (Special) – The entire community was aroused tonight when it was heard that Miss Della Powelll, the pretty 19-year-old daughter of Mr. Franklin Powell, had been assaulted by an unknown negro. The family gave the following story when seen at their home, two miles in the country, tonight by The Herald correspondent:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;Miss Powell had driven to Lexington today with a friend. On returning the friend stopped at her own home, leaving Miss Powell to drive the remaining four miles alone. When within half a mile of her own home she met a negro man, who called to her to stop. She attempted to drive faster, but he caught the horse, dragged her from the buggy and choked her to drown her screams.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;After accomplishing his purpose he left with the words that “he’d have to leave the country and go without his hat.” She climbed into the buggy and drove home.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;Her brother aroused the neighborhood. A large posse was formed, and men with shotguns, rifles and pistols, driving and on horseback, left town to join in the search.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;Bloodhounds have been put on the trail and trains are being watched tonight. Miss Powell belongs to a prominent family here. She is a graduate of the Jessamine Institute and is bright and attractive. She was very composed tonight and thinks she would have no trouble in identifying the negro.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;ARREST MADE.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;A negro named Tom Brown was arrested at midnight by Officer J. J. Peel and posse in a cabin on the farm of Arthur Young, for whom he worlds. He was brought here and lodged in jail before the mob knew he had been caught. He denies all knowledge of the crime, but admits that he was on the road after working hours. He was identified by Miss Powell. He was arrested just one mile and a half from where the crime was committed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</text>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;Last week, a negro assaulted Miss Della Powell, a prominent young lady, near her home in Jessamine county, dragging her from a buggy on the public highway, just before dark. The negro was taken to jail, and next morning the young lady fully identified him. A crowd (not a “mob,” as some papers reported) took him from the officers and hanged him in the court house yard at Nicholasville. While we are opposed to mob law, yet this punishment is what the brute should have received, and the citizens are to be congratulated on the job. Such fiendish assaults will never be stopped until the perpetrators are promptly executed, and the quicker the better.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</text>

                <text>&lt;h3&gt;Livermore Citizens&lt;/h3&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Arrested on Indictments Of Murder for Alleged Participation In Lynching Of A M’Lean [sic] County Negro&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 500;"&gt;LIVERMORE KY., May 13.--As a result of the most vigorous instructions ever given a grand jury in Western Kentucky by Circuit Judge T. F. Birkhead eighteen indictments were returned against alleged members of the mob that lynched Will Porter [&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 500;"&gt;sic&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 500;"&gt;], a Negro, in the Livermore Opera-house on the night of April 21. The indictments were returned at Calhoun, and it is rumored that other bills are to follow.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 500;"&gt;The three alleged leaders of the mob were indicted separately and each is charged with murder. They are as follows:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Those Indicted.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 500;"&gt;Lawrence Mitchell, brother of Clarence Mitchell, who was shot by the Negro who was lynched.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 500;"&gt;Clifton Schroeter, proprietor of a floating studio.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 500;"&gt;Jessie Schroeter, a photographer.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 500;"&gt;The names of the other men indicted are as follows.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Others named in Bills&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 500;"&gt;Ellis Thornsberry.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;ol&gt;&#13;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 500;"&gt; N. Davis.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#13;
&lt;/ol&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 500;"&gt;Cecil Jarvis.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 500;"&gt;Ira Coghill.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 500;"&gt;John Fielden.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 500;"&gt;John W. Taylor.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 500;"&gt;Sam Colburn.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 500;"&gt;William H. Coghill.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 500;"&gt;Tom Dabner.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 500;"&gt;George Gephart.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 500;"&gt;Robert Hays.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 500;"&gt;Leslie Wright.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 500;"&gt;Edward Haney.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 500;"&gt;Clarence Roberts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;All But Four Arrested.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 500;"&gt;All of the men are said to have been arrested with the exception of four and they are expected to be in custody before night. Twelve of the men were taken without trouble, nine being placed in jail in Calhoun and the others being held at Livermore. At a late hour Sheriff Beeler and his deputies are still on the lookout for alleged members of the mob who have not yet been served with the warrants.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 500;"&gt;The bonds of the alleged principals in the lynching were placed at $1,000 and $500 was the amount of surety demanded of the men charged with being accessories in the blanket indictment.&amp;nbsp; W. N Davis and Coeil Jarvis have been released, having arranged for the necessary surety.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 500;"&gt;Two members of the alleged mob were located in a cabin near Island and when called upon to surrender defied the deputies who sought them. The men are armed to the teeth, it is said, and according to the officers have expressed their determination to put up a desperate fight before being captured. The men who first discovered the fugitives called for re enforcements [&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 500;"&gt;sic&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 500;"&gt;], and when these arrive the cabin will be rushed [&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 500;"&gt;sic&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 500;"&gt;].&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 500;"&gt;Practically all of the men indicted are well known in Livermore and McLean county, and the news of the action of the grand jury came like a thunderbolt from a clear sky.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 500;"&gt;The McLean county grand jury, composed of grim, determined farmers, had been working on the case all week and this morning the result of their investigations was made known. About fifty witnesses were called to give testimony. They were examined by Commonwealth’s Attorney Richard Alexander.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 500;"&gt;The scenes in Livermore were pitiful in the extreme. The weeping of wives and sisters over the arrest of their loved ones was heartrending, and will be one long to be remembered by the residents of the little river city.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 500;"&gt;A number of officers are in the vicinity of Livermore, and it is thought all those indicted will be arrested at once Circuit Court is in session here this week, and it is likely that the accused men will be given a speedy trial.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 500;"&gt;County Attorney Alexander in a statement declared that he would use all the means within his power to erase the blot on the fair name of McClean [&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 500;"&gt;sic&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 500;"&gt;] county.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 500;"&gt;The Indictments are the result of the action of an armed mob that shot William Potter to death on the stage of the theater at Livermore a few weeks ago. It is alleged that Clarence Mitchell, a young white man at Livermore, and the negro, who was employed in a poolroom, became engaged in a difficulty. Mitchell went out on the street and it is stated that as he was leaving the place he was shot and, at the time, thought to be fatally wounded. The negro was arrested by the town marshal. There was bitter feeling against him and in a few minutes an angry crowd had gathered. The marshal handcuffed his prisoner, and with two or three guards hustled him to the theater, fearing the town lockup would be unsafe.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 500;"&gt;The doors of the theater were locked and all of the lights were extinguished in the building. The members of the mob, said to be about twenty-five or fifty in number, forced the door of the theater and gained entrance in the building.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 500;"&gt;Before the officers had time to rush the Negro from the building a volley of shots rang out, and the Negro sank to the floor.&amp;nbsp; The members of the mob, having accomplished their purpose, left the building.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 500;"&gt;It was several days before the body of the Negro was buried, the colored people of the town declaring that he was a strange Negro and had not behaved himself since coming to Livermore from Tennessee. It was necessary for the white people to bury him.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 500;"&gt;Mitchell, who was shot and wounded by the Negro has about recovered from his wounds and will get well.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 500;"&gt;The better element of citizens of McCLean [&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 500;"&gt;sic&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 500;"&gt;] county deeply deplored the action of the mob, and were strong in their calls for the indictment of the members of the lawless band. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</text>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;Carlisle, Ky., Aug. 16. - The dead body of George Wilson, a negro, was found hanging to a tree in the woods near Myers, this county. His death is a mystery, but it is generally believed he was a victim of a mob. Wilson was married, the father of four children, and had always been considered a good citizen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</text>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;A sensation was caused near Deering camp ground Saturday morning by the finding of George Wilson, colored, hanging from a small tree.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;He was suspended by a handkerchief and the hitch rein from his buggy. The negro bore a good reputation, and had on his person when last seen about $60, but when cut down had only $1.40 in his pockets. The general opinion seems to be that Wilson was foully dealt with, although no marks were visible on his person to show that he had been shot or bruised. The colored people of the community are very much incensed over the affair, as WIlson was a prominent Oddfellow, and they will at once employ a detective to clear the matter up.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</text>

The negro had been a lover of Lulu Willis and the officials got an idea that she had something to do with his taking off. In jail Saturday night, the woman confessed to having killed Wilson with the aid of other person and said they hanged the body to the tree to lead to the belief that he was lynched.&lt;/span&gt;</text>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;Carlisle, Ky., Aug. 16. - A sensation was caused near Deering camp ground Saturday by the finding of one George Wilson, colored, hanging from a small tree, suspended by a silk handkerchief and the hitch rein from his buggy. The negro bore a good reputation, and had on his person when last seen about $60, and when cut down had only $1.40 on his person.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</text>
