NEGRO BURNED TO DEATH |
BY A MOB IN TENNESSEE
8elf-ConfeaseA Murderer of
Year-Old Girl I* Summarily
Executed.
By the Associated Press.
MEMPHIS. Tenn.. May 22.?BU Per
sons, negro, confessed murderer or An
toinette Rappal several weeks ago, was
burned to death near the scene of the
crime, on the outskirts of Memphis, at
9 o'clock today. A mob estimated at
from 2,000 to 3,000 witnessed the death
of the negro.
In preparation for burning the body
was soaked in oil and afterward sus
pended in midair from the limb of a
nearby tree. A torch was then applied,
and the body burned fiercely until the
scorched flesh of th# negro fell to the
ground.
Persons, it is said, was taken from
the officials at Potts Camp. Miss., and
was rushed through the country by au
tomobile to the place where the crime
was committed. The officers were
bringing Persons to Memphis for trial
when intercepted by the mob.
Persona is said to have repeated his
confession that he killed the child and
implicated two other negroes. Members
of the mob immediately set out in pur
suit of these.
When all was in readiness, Mrs. Min
nie Woods, mother of the dead girl,
was taken to the bridge, where the
prisoner was held, and identified him.
In a short talk to the mob she declared
she wished Persons to suffer the tor
tures he dealt to his victim.
Persons was taken to the penitentiary
at Nashville two weeks ago for safe
keeping before details of" his alleged
confession were made public. According
to a statement made by Sheriff Tate,
Persons, a wood chopper, admitted that
he attacked the girl, a fifteen-year-old
child, when she passed the thicket in
which he was at work, dragged her
into the underbrush after knocking her
unconscious with his ml, and, fearing
that she would recover consciousness
and accuse him of the attack, chopped
off her head, which he concealed with
the mutilated body In the thicket.
Mob Captures Another Negro.
Telephone messages at 10:30 o'clock
stated that the mob had captured De
witt Ford, a mute, one of the negroes
implicated by Persons in the murder of
the Rappal girl, and was on the way
to the scene of the first lynching.
MEET TO OUTLINE ACTION
ON CENSORSHIP PROVISION
House Republicans Decide, Only One
Dissenting', That Clause Should
Be Voted Out.
Republicans of the House met in con
ference this morning to outline har
monious party action on the censorship
provision of the espionage bill when
the conference report on that measure
comes up in the House for considera
tion. It was the Judgment of the meet
ing this morning, with only one dis
senting vote, that the censorship clause
should be voted against by republi
cans.
When the bill was up In the House
twenty-four republicans voted for the
so-called Gard amendment Imposing
censorship upon the press, thereby con
tributing to its adoption by the House.
The Senate omitted from its bill all
reference to press censorship, and dur
ing the conferences between the two
houses the Senate conferees have
stoutly resisted the demands of the
House conferees in behalf of the Gard
amendment. This pressure from the
House conferees has continued, despite
the practical abandonment by the ad
ministration of insistence upon a form
of press censorship.
The Gard amendment prohibits the
dissemination of information that will
tend to aid the enemy and provides
Jury trial for those Indicted under the
proposed act. The Jury would decide
whether the Information was intended
to be helpful to the enemy.
The conferees struggled all day yes
terday over the points at issue between
the two houses, and then adjourned
until tomorrow. Provisions still in
dispute Include export embargo, search
warrant legislation and warrant for
the use of the army and navy to pre
vent interference with foreign com-1
merce.

Secretary Daniels Wants Anti
Liquor law for Navy Recruits.
Secretary Daniels has addressed a I
letter to Speaker Clark urging that
legislation prohibiting the sale of in- I
toxicatlng beverages to soldiers, in
corporated In the army bill, be ex-1
tended to cover the navy. With 40,000 I
young recruits under training In the I
navy and more to be secured, Mr. I
Daniels said, the same safeguards are
urgently necessary for them that Con
gress has provided for young soldiers. |
A draft of a bill submitted by the!
Secretary would authorize the Presl-|
lent to make such regulations as he
leems necessary governing or pro
hibiting the sale of liquor near places
under the Jurisdiction of the navy or I
to naval officers or men, and would 1
prohibit absolutely the sale or giving]
iway of beverage liquor within the I
bounds of any station or place used |
for naval purposes.
