The funeral of Miss Wilds, the young woman who murdered {Sunday afternoon was while returning |from church was held this afternoon and attended by probably 2,000 peo- ple.

After stringing young Godley up to a tree and riddling his body with bullets the mob went to the house of French Godley. the young man’s grandfather, and shot him to death. Then they bombarded Ike Carter's house, in which were Pete and Rob- ert Hampton, all negroes Pete Hampton. who was 75 years old was burned to death. His wife and Robert Hampton escaped through the flames. The mob then marched from place to place, burning negro houses and firing into them. The negroes fied in all directions, many taking refuge in the woods, while others came as far as Springfield to find places of safety. Inconsistent Bankers.

They had one advantage over other bank robbers in that they had not been trusted with ings of men and women who had been led to believe in their integrity.
