When little Evq died my little girl's

"Whan, after the curtain fall, the little
girl who took tha part, paased through

way to one of disappointment and actual
disgust. I asked her If she wantsd a

Tbe shock to tbe little one actually
spoiled her enjoyment of the rest of tbe

been a better stroke of business, or at

to have sent some on* else to hawk Eva's

THE DEEDS OF DEMONS
A Helpless Woman Burned to
Death by a Mob.
AN OLD MAN BRUTALLY MURDERED
The Terrible Failing of a Kentucky Scan
dal —A l-'urloUM Mob Ret Fire to » llounr,
and a Woman Ferlshe» In tbe Flame».
Tbe Mad Riddled With llulletm
IrEliAJfOW, Ky., Deo. 80.—Within two
mile» of this city Inst night n rolontless
mot) burned to death a woman and rid
dled with bullets her gray haired para
mour. Tho blackened and disfigured
corpse» of the victims, Mrs. Thomas West
aud William Deveors, wora found in tho
ruins of the woman's homo by tho 14
year-old daughter of the murdered man.
Tho tragedy was ouo of tho most brutal
ever enacted under tbo grewsomo sway of
dread Judge Lynch. Despite the pleadings
for her father's life of a half clad, fright
ened ohlld and tho prayers and tears of
the ill and holpless woman, tho mob went
through with its work with cold blooded,
cruel deliberation, and only loft when cer
tain that both man and woman wore dead.
Tho ulTalr was tho outgrowth of tho old
slaty of faithless wife and vongoful hus
band. Several months ago Deveors, a
middle aged widower, was accused by
Thomas West, a prosperous farmer, of In
timacy with Airs. West. Quarrel followed
quarrel throughout the full until West
Instituted divorce proceedings and de
clared that Deveors must die. Thofmen
mutin Lebanon. West snapped his revol
ver, which missed fire, ami Dovoers killed
him on the spot. On the plea of self de
fense the murderer secured hall ami scan
dalized the neighborhood by immediately
taking bia two daughters aud moving In
to West's house. The relatives of the mur
dered husband swore vengeance, which
came In a terrible and brutal form.
A baud of men rode up to tho West
homestead and demanded admittance.
The House Riddled With llellets.
"Tom West Is dend. Now It's your
turn," the spokesman called, and Deveors
and tho woman awoke, to find their house
surrounded. Mrs. West rushed to a dark
ened window and began a wild, hysterical
plea for mercy. A dozen bullets answered
lier cries, and the demand fur linmedlato
surrender was repeated. Devours, too,
asked for a hearing, but his request was
greeted with a shower of shots.
"We'll give you ton minutes to open
up. Then you burn, " sold tho mob's load
er, and his mon quietly retired from tho
door. A hurried consultation was held In
side the house, and then, white and terror
stricken, tho little girl of Devoers was
thrust out to plead with the mail. Clad In
her night-robe, barefooted and unprotect
ed, she bravely walked out Into tho moon
light and sobbed out a prayer fur bur
white haired father's life.
"Get out. You'roliabletogetshot your
self," a ruffian said, and tho paulo strick
en child lied to the cabin of a negro neigh
bor.
Mrs. West then nppenrod at tho door
and made a last appeal for mercy. It was
unavailing, and in another moment the
bouse was tired. Tho shrieks of tho im
prisoned ' wretches failed to move their
torturers, who, aa the llaniea reached the
living room, could see tho man and wom
an In tho agony of death by the lira
Just before tho roof fell the woman was
seen to reel auro»s the room and plunge
headlong into tho fireplace among the
burning coals, and there she died,
with pain, Deveors at tho last moment
made a dash for liberty, but a score of
bullets stripped him half a dozen stops
frum tho door.
Tho little girl led her negro protector to
the scene, ami there tbo bodies, scorched
beyond recognition, wero found, uutouch
cd by the lyncher». There is but little
doubt that the members of the mob will
be captured, aa they were without masks
and made no attempt at socrcoy.
Wild
Another Tragedy May Follow.
It Is not improbable that the scenes of
tho inhuman affair will Ire re-unacted In
tho vicinity shortly, a» the outrage has
aroused the must Intense indignation
among tho people of the county, lie-cause
of tho fact that West's relatives had
threatened vengeance there Isa strong he
llet that they are responsible fur tbo
crime. Tho uncertainty, however, ns to
just who was Implicated has so fur pre
vented further trouble.
Tho child of Dovoers who was a wit
ness to the tragedy Is dangerously ill as
tho result of tho fright and exposure, but
upon hor recovery she may ho able, It Is
hoped, to Identify some of tho lynchers.
Thu night was brilliant with moonlight
and tho unmasked faces of tho members
of the mob should ho easily Identified as
soon us tho ohlld is able to appear In court.
Mrs. West's corpse was charred almost
beyond human semblance. Overcome by
the flames, she had fallen Into tho large
old fashioned fireplace of the living room,
and tho head was utmost burned from
the body. Dovoor's body was pierced by
at least 25 bullets, liefere hi» desperate
dash far liberty ho had boon frightfully
burned and would probably have died
without the gunshot wounds. His hair
and hoard wore burned off, his clothes
wero In charred shreds and Ills face blis
tered and blackened.
No arrests have so far been made, but
developments are expected.
Justice Nave yesterday began an In
quest upon tho bodies of the victims. Sev
eral witnesses have boon examined, but
nothing tending to incriminate any ono
was developed. The investigation will bo
continued today.
