Scene of the Tragedy.
Special Correspondence Balt. Sun.
Frederick, Mu., April, 18, 1879.—
The lynching of James Carroll, colored,
at Point of Rocks, on Thursday night,
for the outrage on Mrs. Richard Thomas,
of Licksville, Md.,on Monday night, was
the absorbing topic of conversation in
Frederick county to-day. The cool aud
deliberate manner in which the prepara
tions were made for the lynching, aud the
summary mode in which the prisoner
was dealt with, showed a determination
on the part of the residents of the county
not to wait for the slower verdict of the
law, and if the man had succeeded in
getting to Frederick City jail there were
500 men armed icady to tear or burn
down the building and capture the rav
isher.
Mr. Richard Thomas, the husband of
the union unate ladv who was the subject
of attack, says that when be was in
Georgetown, D. C.,ou Wednesday, walk
ing along tho canal path, lie met the ne
gro, who raised his hat io him and said,
"Good morning, Mr. Thomas." Mr.
Thomas passed on and warned Mr. Uy.
C. Volkman, a mounted policeman of
the third precinct. After following the
man for about seven squares Mr. Yolk
man became afraid lie would lose his
man amongst the lumber yards in the
neighborhood, and, dismounting, contin
ued the pursuit on foot and captured the
fellow.
As heretofore shown, tho prisoner was
taken to the Washington depot of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad and left for
Frederick by the 4:30 P. M. train in
charge of officers II. C. Volkman and 13.
F. Harper and iu company of Mr. Rich
ard Thomas and his brother F. C. Thom
as. About this time a number ot farm
ers were gathered around the depot at
Point of Rocks. Ever since Tuesday
last there had been a vigilant search for
the criminal. Men left their labor aud
scoured the country night and day iu the
hope of capturing the outrager. On
Thursday afiernoou a telegram was re
ceived from Sandy Hook that a colored
mau answering the description of Car
roll had been seen at the caves near that
place. While waiting to hear further as
to this news the following telegram was
received by Messrs- Jarboe A Oflut from
F. U. Thomas : "Prisoner caught, will
leave on 4:30 train. Send notice to Llck
ville. Meet Dick at depot."
As soon as the message was received a
hurried consultation was held by those
present, and m a few minutes a mounted
messenger, bearing the natno of "Brick"
Pomeroy, although not akin to the Wes
tern political economist, started to bear
the message to the neighbors in the couu
ty. The fiery cross in the time of Rod
erick Dhu aud Scottish clans could not
have been carried swifter, and iu about
an hour from 125 to 150 men, some on
foot, others oh horseback, and about 25
of them colored, had gathered near the
depot. Several of them boarded the
train at Tuscarora, four miles from Point
of Rocks, but gave no intimation as to
the object of tbeirjourney. As the train
drew near the depot it stopped on the
siding in order to allow the east-bound
train to pass. At this juncture about
twelve or fifteen men entered the oar iu
which the prisoner was seated with Ins
captors, aud, seizing him, began to drag
him to the platform. The police officers
protested, but uselessly, and as soon as
the man had reached the plat form of the
car a rope, with an ordinary noose, was
placed around his neck, and he was drag
ged towards the ground. As he fell,
with his head on the track aud his feet
in the air, the east-bound train passed by
narrowly missing the half strangled man,
and almost striking one of the vigilantes
who was holding to him- As soon as
the train bail passed he was dragged
across the track, in the pouring rain,
towards a fence at. the foot of asteep hill
a Joining the tiack. Over the fence his
cantors dragged him, shouting, "Up the
hill with him !"
At this juncture the rope broke, and a
hall was made toreLxit. Officer Volk
mati then appeared on the scene, and
called out, "Gentlemen, I appeal to you
n the name ot the law and of the State
of Maryland, let the prisoner go." The
answ er came back, "Go away from here"
and the reply was, "1 shall only go by
' Then half a dozen men caught
the officer, lifted him bodily over the
fence, and plac.ng him in the car kept
guard over him. Across the plowed field
hundred willing bauds dragged the
half-dead negro until they reached a
thicket of frees on the brow of the hill.
Close to a tall yellow poplar stood a wal
nut sapling about twelve feet in height.
A youngster jumped up ami threw the
rope into a forked limb. \V ith a quiek
jerk the man, who all this time was pros
trate, was dragged into the air. The
twisted twice around the limb

aud made fast, and tlie seif-appoluted
executioners felt that their work was
done.
After a lapse of abeut twelve minutes
of the men put bis finger on the dy
ing man's pulse and found it still beating.
His shirt was torn open aud the throb
bing of his heart was felt, but in about
three minutes afterwards all motion
ceased—t he man was dead. Then began
a scramble for mementos of the hang
ing. Twigs were broken from the tree,
the coat of the suspended man was torn,
and a deaf ami dumb colored man( w ho

on«: of the lynchers wore a mask. It was
at first, suggested that every face should
be blackened, but this was overruled.
They said they were not ashamed or
atraul of wliat tli«y were goitia to do.
They were law-ohidtng citizen«, with
wWe«, «iNter« and children who needed
their protection, aud who were a» the
mercy of colorer tramp», aud they wer.,
determined that vengeance should he
swift, and »lire. On the way to the scene
of the execution the husband of the out
raged wouiuu was with dtffloulty preven
ted from stabbing the ravlsher, and «
nally a knife, which hecamed wre taken
away from him. After the lapse otthirly
Hve minutes the crowd all left and the
body hung motionless in the daikuiss.
From early dawn this morning there
were numbers of curious neuple to be
seen in the thicket where the diodv still
hung. Over a fence, across « plowed
ttel.£ and through a grove o(brambles,
the visitor, wbeu| he had reached the
do
crest of the bill, came upon the «eene.
Away in the distance Loudoun heights
were seen. Near by was Rock Hall run:
a little further the railroad track, and as
the bleak wind whistled through the
leaflets trees the dark body swayed gent
ly like a pendulum. The clothing was
covered with mud, the left arm, from
which the coat had been torn, was bare
and dirty, the head dropped to the right
touching the limb of the tree; the knot
had slipped behind his right ear, the
tongue was protruding and the face,
with all its dura ness, looked wan and
ghaHtly. Nobody ventured to touch the
body, every oue seeming to wait the ar
rival ot the coroner, but it was broadly
hinted that there would be a difficulty in
obtaining a jury, as almost every man iu
the neighborhood had lent a hand iu the
lynching.
A ride of three miles, over a rough
"corduroy" road, bought the news-seek
jto Licksville, where Mrs. Thomas lives.
The house stands near the road, and is a
plain two-story wooden structure. Car
roll worked for Mr. P. N. Leapley, and
ou Monday last was sent with a plow
share to the blacksmith shop of Mr.
Henry Drot uberg. Whilst there it is
supposed that lie picked up
shoe nails, as he was aft
picking walnuts with oue, and another,
with the point upwards, was found in the
Iront window or Mr. Thomas's house,
where It had been placed by him during
the day to facilitate his outrance at night.
Mr. Thomas is often absent from home
on business. On this Mounay morning
be had stalled on the canal with a new
boat.

A LAJtOK GATHERING — THE I'm ME
CAUSES OF THE PEItliY DEMI)Y MUB
DEU DISCUSSED.
A large temperance meeting was held
iu the Grand Opera House, yesterday af
ternoon, under the auspices of the Moral
»Suasion Association and Walola Lodge,
No. 03, 1. O. of G. T. The mam object
of the meeting was to discuss the main
causes tiiat led to the recent murder of
Perry Demby. The audience was large
euough to till the hall in every part, and
great Interest was manifested in the pro
ceedings.
John 13. Cook, President of the M. S.
U. A., presided over the meeting, and
opened with a brief address, alluding
in general terms to the ohject of the meet
ing, at the conclusion of which he intro
duced Rev. Mr. Pegg, pastor of fcicoLt M.
E. Church.
Mr. Pegg spoke of the great enormity
of the crime of murder, and id alluding
to the specific murder which was being
considered by the meeting, said Dela
ware was gaining a reputation for acting
unjustly towards the colored man. Yei
God, and God alone, was responsible for
Perry Dem by 's color.
Mr. Pegg proceeded to argue that while
the four young men confined in jail on a
charge of murder were the principals in
this crime, yet rum was the real cause of
their act, and the rum-seller, therefore,
an active agent in Ike unholy and re
volting crime. He also blamed society,
in a great measure, lor the spread of the
rum It allie, and reviewed the ii<j
cense quediou, from ibe Legislature that
framed the laws to the judges who grant
ed the licenses and the people who signed
the applications tor license, as all being
more or less responsible for the liquor
trailic and its invariable results—misery
and crime.
The remedy suggested by the speaker
was the puui»imieut of the criminals,the
punishment of tin* rum-sellers and the
enactment of a prohibitory liquor law.
To this latter end he thought public sen
timent shoukl be earnestly directed.
Mr. Pegg's address
plauded, and at its conclusion a duet was
delightfully sung by Misses Mollie and
Elia Roberts.
The next speaker was Rev J. B. Mann
who in his usual abusive manuer, reflec
ted upon judge, jury, Attorney-Geueral
aud everybody else who would be con
nected with the trial of Perry Demby's
murderers. He also declared Delaware
never haugs the murderer et a negro,
and claimed that this injured Delaware's
political status and the chances of her
favorite sou for the Presidency. The
speaker said that if he were Mr. Bayard
he would leave his seat in the Senate
and assist in having justice meted out to
the murderers of Perry Demby. Mr.
Mann also alluded to the liquor phase ot
the question, blamed the rum seller for
Demby's murder, and urged au awaken
ed public sentiment that would sweep
intemperance from the laud.
President Cooke announced that an
other meeting would he held on next
Sunday afternoon week, and the meet
ing adjourned with tho doxology and
benediction.

SATURDAY'S PERFORMANCE OF "THE
KXIUKs" AT THE OPERA HOUSE.
The matinee performance of "The Ex
iles," at the Opera House, on Saturday
afternoon, was the most largely attended
matinee ever given in this city. 'The
audience was mainly composed of ladies
aud children, and they were delighted
with the entire performance. In the
evening the play was again presented to
an audience that filled the main hall
about tvo-thirds full, aud occupied all
the available portions of the gallery. The
perforimuce as a matter of course, was
entirely acceptable, aud the pauses be
long aud
tedious as on the previous night, the
scene slifters having become more skill
ful in qiickly adapting the new scenery
to the arrangements of the Opera House
stage. Taken altogether, "The Exiles"
is the most satisfactory drama ever pre
sented at the Opera House, and three
large audiences attest its popularity

The members of the Bar of Sussex
county assembled for the purpose of ex
pressing their feelings upon the occasion
of the death of our late Chancellor Daniel
M. Bates, and wishing to place upon rec
ord the testimony of their appreciation of
his private worth and public services, do
ltesolve —
1st. That the character and career of
the late Chancellor Bates entitle him to
the grateful remembrance of the people
of this, the county of his birth and ances
try, as well as of the people generally of
the State ot Delaware.
2nd. That distinguished by the purity
and uprightness of his life, and endowed
with intellectual abilities of a high order

requirements of his profession, and the
duties of ike important positions he was
aftei wards appointed to till.
3rd. That as Chancellor he was al
ways patient, and courteous, and kind ;
his opinions not only evinced careful aud
laborious study iu the examination of the
facts of every case he was called on to
decide, but so illustrated the precedents
and principles of the law as to constitute
substantial and enduring coil ri butions
to its literature ; aud that throughout his
short but useful judicial career, he did
his full share iu maiutaining confidence
in the administration of justice in this
State.
4tli. That the record of a life so spent
in earnest obedieuce to all of the duties
religious, public and private, is the no
blest monument that can be erected to
man, and while we mourn his loss, yet
we feel we are consoled by the peaceful
beauty of his end, and by the rich memo
ries of the example lie set before us, and
the good name he left behind him.
5th. That we tender our respectful aud
sincere sympathy to his bereaved family;
and instruct the Secretary to transmit to
them a copy of these resolutions, aud to
publish the same in the newspapers of
this State.
6th. That the senior member of this
Bar be requested to present to the Court
of Chaucery at its next term a copy of
these resolutions, and also Court of Er
