BURNED AT
THE STAKE
Northern Mob Wreaks Fear?
ful Vengeance on Negro.
CONFESSED THE CRIME
Mob of Four Thousand, in Spite of
Hall of Bullets Battered Their Way,
Into Jail and Took Prisoner
by Force,
(Br Assecletdil Tress.)
WILMINGTON. DEL., June 22.-A
northern mob, led by a Virginian, burn?
ed a negro nt tho stake to-night within
a few miles of Mason and Dlxon's line.
Tho victim was George K. Whito, a
negro, Just out of the working house,
who confessed to having feloniously as?
saulted and stabbed to eleath Miss Helen
S. Bishop, the seventeen-year-old daugh?
ter of the Rev. Dr. E. A. Bishop. The
crime wns committed last Monelay after?
noon, and evolf since then there have
been muttering?) ot lynching tho msn.
An effort was mnde last night to got
While, but It failed. To-night, however.
as a result ot the law's slowness, and
much agitation on the part of those who
cried for ?vengeance, a mob that was
estimated at four thousand men nnd boys,
gathereel In tho neighborhood of Prlco'e
Corner, four miles from here. They came
from everywhere, Including Wilmington.
Last night's lack of a leader was sup?
plied by a Virginian, whose Identity In
the confusion and excitement could not
1)0 learned. The police of Wilmington and
the constables tried to disperse the grerx
Ing crowd, but without avail. Jt was evi?
dent that hundreds came frorrT"mere cu?
riosity, but once In the mpb they became
inflamed with the spirit pervading tho
throng and then actively Joined It.
DID WORK WELL.
The real leaders wero few In number,
but they did their work well. It was af?
ter 10 o'clock when the march to the
workhouse, a mile away, was taken up.
The chief warden of the workhouse and
his guards, who havo been on-almost con
slant duty slnco the negro was landed
In the prison, had been warned of the
comln? of the mob, and prepared to de?
fend the man at all costs. Armeel with
pistols, shotguns and other weapons, the
mob soon reached the Jail.
A battery of railroad tires soon carried
away the great outer door ot the work?
house. What was going on inside the
lock-up was not known to the mob, nor
did It ?seem to care. Tho second, third
and fourth doors were battered down by
the forwnrd lenders In the attacking
pa rty, amid the yells and cheers of those
who were pressing forward from the rear.
HAIL OF BULLETS.
Then the would-be lynchers were mo?
mentarily halted by a hall of bullets from
the Inside. A great howl went up from
the leaders, but they were pressed for?
ward by those In the rear. More shots
were fired, and thero was a scramble to
get out, but the braver ones in the at?
tacking party stood their ground. In the
fusilada that followed four persons fell,
all members of the mob. They were
qi.'lckly carried to the rear. Three of the
wounded were men and the other a boy.
Nono of them In tho confusion could bA
Identified except the boy, who Is said to
be Peter Smith, aged seventeen years.
It was evident that the warden did not
wish to slaughter the mob In tho prison
ccrrldor. so ho directed that tl-e fire hose
be turned on the crowd. This also held
tho mob for a time, but not for long. A
general crash was made, the guards were
brushed aside, and a man hunt In the Jail
was mado for the negro. There are many
negroes confined In the prison, but with
tho aid of a man who knew White ho
was quickly found. The cell doors wero
quickly battered open, and the cowering
accused man, begging for mercy, was
dragged from the cell and the prison.
GREAT CHEER SENT UP.
Wheti. the crowd outside heard that suc?
cess had crowned the efforts of tho lynch
crs a great cheer was set up. Attempts
wero made to shoot White on the spot,
but tho leaders of tho crowd would have
nothing but his life at the stake. Resist?
ance on the part of the negro was useless,
but his hands were tied behind htm. Then
tho march to the place of execution. Just
ns though It were a march to the gallows
in a prison, wns taken up.
It then beenmo evident that a plan of
execution hnd been . previously arranged,
With torches to lead the way, and with
four thousand persons following the ne?
gro, he was led to the rood and to almost
tho very1 spot where the assault took
place.
? White was given a last chance to speak,
and he confessed to the murder of tho
girl. A Btake had been arranged by an
ndvance guard. White was quickly
chained to the post and the dry under?
brush soaked with oil, which wns Ig?
nited, and the horrible execution was on.
White, suffering Intense agony, fainted,
and his body hung limp. Bullets wero
fired into his body, und the victim of tho
mob was soon dead,
DELAY WAS THE CAUSE.
Satisfied with tho night's work most of
tho lynchers Immediately left the neigh?
borhood, many of them fearing arrest.
However, a largo number o? persons
loitered at the scene awaiting develop?
ments.
The failure of tho County Court to
give Whito a speedy trial Is lit" a great
measure responsible for to-night's trag?
edy. The citizens of ' Wilmington and
those In the vicinity of the scene of the
crime wanted nn immediate trial, and
Attorney-General H. H. Ward laid the
matter before the court on Thursday with
that end In view. The court, however,
did not consider haste expedient, and the
trial was set for tho Septomber torni of
the court. With this decision of the
court tho murmurlngs of mob violence
became louder, and the Indignation of the
people grew hourly. Sundny night two
small crowds gatliered In the iviclnity o*

the Jail, but they wero Roon dispersed.
The coroner's Inquest was held to-day,
but tho authorities foaming thai Inarm
would befall tho negro, he wan WtHll.cn
from the workhouse, and tho Inquest was
proe.fe'lod with without his presence. The
Verdict of the Jury was that Miss Rlshop
came to her death "from the effects oflfin
assault committed upon her hy one George
White, a negro."
THE CRIME.
Tho erlmo for which White was lynched
was ono of the most revolting In the
criminal nnnals of Delaware. The vic?
tim. Miss Helen 8. Bishop, daughter of
Rev. B. A. Bishop, D. D., superinten?
dent of tho Ferris Industrial School,
would have been eighteen years old next
October. Sho wns a student of the Wil?
mington High School, nnd was on her
way home from the school last Mon?
day afternoon when she was attacked.
The Industrial School, which Is four
miles from here, where her parents maele
their home. Is about three-quarters of
a mile from Price's Corner, where the
girl usually left the trolley car when
she came to school.
Lato Monday nftornoon a. farmer work?
ing In the field saw a young woman
stagger antl fall In the road. She got
up and fell ngaln, and then she tried to
crawl. The farmer nnd his sons went
to her assistance, but* when they reached
tho girl she was lying unconscious in
the road. They found her to he Miss
Bishop.
Sho had three ugly gashes In her throat,
hftr body was badly scratched and lier
clothing wns torn in mnny places. In ono
hand she clutched a small penknife which
she used at school In sharpening pencils.
There viijs every evidence that Miss
Bishop hn?.? 'nado a desperate resistance
In defense of V->r; honor and her life. Tho
wounded girl wa??? taken home and died
the next afternoon without regaining con?
sciousness.
Tho entire neighborhood was almost In?
stantly, aroused and a. man hunt wns Im?
mediately instituted. Suspicion was soon
fastened on George F. Wliltn, a negro
just out of the workhouse, who wns en?
gaged as a laborer on tho farm of Ed?
ward Wocfdward, near the scene of the
assault. White was found In bed that
same njght, and when taken Into cus?
tody denied all knowledge of the crlmo.
He was Identified by several persons, who
said thny saw him In the vicinity of tho
scene of the crime. A knlte which Mr.
Woodward said belonged to him was
found where tho girl was assaulted. White
was brought to Wilmington, but Inter wns
transferred to the county workhouse,
whero the police officials thought ho
would bo safo from mob violence.

SHADOWS
WITHOUT END
(By Associated Trees.)
' WASHINGTON, D. C, June 23.?The
Post to-morrow will say that among the
matters which Fourth Assistant Post?
master-General Bristow Is Investigating
Is the purchase from a California com?
pany, the Postal Device nnd Improve?
ment Company, of some 17,000 letter-box
devices for indicating tho hours of col?
lection of mail, tho invention, it is
stated, of the postmaster at San Fran?
cisco. It Is said that 7.000 of theso de?
vices were originally ordered at a cost
of $4 or more each, or a profit of 100
por cent, on cost, and the allegation is
made that a further order of 10,000 more
was placed, notwithstanding tho original
7,000 devices were not used, but were
reposing In a storehouse.
The company controlling tho device
was largely mado up of California pos?
tal employes, and tho Post will say that
It Is Informed ex-Representative Loud,
of California, former chairman of tho
House Postonico Committee, took nn
activo part In their behalf and wrote
several letters urging the device on tho
department, and in ono of them said It
would ho an accommodation to him If
the matter was attended to.
ONLY FOR CONSTITUENTS.
After tho compnny had difficulty In
securing Its money for the device Mr.
Loud, the Post will say, "appeared at
the department In Its heltflf, but spe?
cifically disclaimed nny (?f.orest In tho
company other than as it was composed
of his constituents. Ho took Iho ground
that whatever tho necessity, or lack of
necessity, for the device, constituents
of his hnd secured tlio contract and fur?
nished the articles called for. There?
fore he believed they should be paid as
the government stipulated to pay them.
During his recent visit to this city Mr.
Loud, on certain of his visits to the de?
partment, took up some of these unpaid
bills, ninklng It plain, however, that ho
appeared only In behalf of constituents
and not us one financially Interested In
the company."
The allegation was made, the Post
will say, .jthat $45,000 of tho deficiency
of $105,000 In the free-delivery service
with whloh Mr. Machen Is charged was
due to purchases of the dovjee In ques?
tion, but at tho Postonico Department
this was denied and tho statopient mado
that while tho matter was under inves?
tigation the complaint might have been
reactionary anil intended agolnst the In?
vestigation. Complaints also lised beon
mac?e, It was stated, that at tho Instance
of Mr. Loud the rolls at the presidio hart
been padded with postal employes, but
at the Postonico Department they worn
without any knowledge of such a thing,
ono way or the other. An effort was
made to got a statement from Mr.
Machen on the subject, but ho declined
to either affirm or deny tho reports.

DR. SMITH CANT COME
Sends Word that He Would Be Unable
at this Timet o Consider a Gall.
To the great disappointment of the en?
tire congregation, It wns learned Sun?
day that the Rov. Egbert W. Smith,'
D. D., of Greensboro, N. C, .has com?
municated with the Pulpit Committee
of the First Presbytorlnn Churph. of
this city, to the effect that for two or
three vears to como ho could not consider
a call" to Richmond. In view off this
lettor the congregational meeting called
for Sunday morning, nt which time Dr.
Smith was to bo chosen successor to Dr.
Kerr. was Indefinitely postponed.
At this time. Dr.. Smith Is conducting a
most Important work in G'reensboro. in?
cluding the erection off a great Sunday
school. Doubts wero felt all along as
to his willingness to leave this work at
this time, nnd his letter confirms this
belief. fitlll much disappointment is
felt by tho Richmond congregation which
seeme'el practically nnnnlmous In its de?
sire to secure his services.
No definite decision has been reached
yet by Ilio peoplo of tho First Church,
hut It' looks much ns if they will have to
call some other man, at least for the pres?
ent ? member of the Pulpit Committee
stated last night, however, that they
have not surrendered all hope of get?

CASE UP
(By Associated Press.)
COLUMBIA, S. a. June 22.?The Cir?
cuit Court, Judge D. A. Townsend pre?

motion for change of venue was beare!.

Govornor, shot and Instnntly klllt\ N. G.
Gonzales, editor of the State, who linei
repeatedly denounced him when Tlllman
was a cnndlelnto for Governor last year.
Tho defense to-day produced about ."00
affidavits to show that a fair trial cnulrl
not bo hnd in this county, because of
piejudlco acalnst the defendant. The
principal affidavits were mado by defend?
ant's counsel and friends, who asserted
that the Columbia newspapers nnel
preachers had incited feeling ngalnst
Tlllman by their references to tho ?/se.
Tho prosecution presented about fou
hundred affidavits In roply. Practically
oil tho ministers of Columbia assorted
that they have made no roferenco to tho
case from their pulpits. Newspaper men,
including Messrs. W. E. and A. E. Clou
znlcs, respectively editor and publisher
of the Stato, stated in affidavits that the
Columbia papers had conspicuously and
cnrofully refrained from Inflammatory
denunciations of tho defendant. These
assertions wero backoel by statement!!
from the hank presidents,' lawyers, physi?
cians, college professors, merchants and
men In all linos of. business, Including
many citizens of tho county outside of
Columbia.
The reading of these affidavits was not
concluded when court adjourned until
to-morrow morning. The argument will
doubtless consume all of tho day. Coun?
sel on each side to-day contested strongly
every point. nnel several eloquent
speeches wore made. The prosecution is
conducted by Solicitor J. William Thur?
