Chicago, Oct. 9.—William Bell, 32, negro, was beaten to death by a crowd of men and boys on the west side here last night after he had been charged with assault on a young girl. The screams of the girl as she was seized by the negro attracted the attention of a number of men near the scene. The negro fled but was pursued and overtaken by the crowd, which beat him to death with a baseball bat. One of the first men to join the crowd was armed with the bat. More than a hundred men and boys sur- rounded the negro, who made fran- tic efforts to break through the crowd, which kicked and struck him down. He was dying when rescued by a squad of policemen, who rush- ed him to a hospital. After the police had taken Beéll to the hospital, other squads seized a score of men and boys who were held for questioning. The frenzy of the crowd was in- credsed during the attack on the negro by the cries of his intended victim, a white foreign girl living in the neighborhood, who said her as- sailant threatened her with death ir she screamed. Squads of policemen sent into the district to prevent the assembling of crowds, reported the situation was qulet and there was no expectation FORU. 3. WARSHIPS CHICAGO NEGRO BEATEN TO DEATH WITH BASEBALL BAT IN HANDS OF ONE OF ANGRY MOB OF WHITE MEN Indications Are That Wrong Man Was Lynched As‘ Victims of Attack Are Unable to Identify Body As of any rioting similar to that ot July, 1919, when crowds of whites and negroes clashed in the negro sections of the southside and several persons were killed. The crowd was composed princi- pally of foreigners living In the neighborhood, where feeling has been tense because of the influx of negroes into the district. It dispers- ed after the police arrived and authorities expected no recurrence of trouble, i Possibility that the wrong man | was lynched last night was seen to- | day when the two young women were unable to identify the body as that of their assallant. Otto Epstein, manager of a sac- ramental wine shop in the Ghetto, where the attack and lynching oc- curred, was accused by two negroes as the man who killed Bell with a baseball bat. Epstein denied the charge. The Ghetto swarmed into action when Miss Betty Greenblatt and | Miss Bertha Deutsch screamed. | Bell was surrounded by a crowd | that quickly beat, kicked and tram- pled him, He died on the way to a hospital. Thomas Clark and Albert Harper, negroes, sald they had been mn(mx‘ with Bell and had only started to leave him when they heard the girls' screams and saw the mob forming.

STARTS OFF AGAN SAN DIEGO NEXT PORT Trip to Pacific Coast Estimated About 30 Hours From Texas—Big Crowds Cheer as Huge Gas Bag Resumes Tts Flight, By The Assoclated Press. | IFort Worth, Tex,, Oct. 9.—After a | delay of 45 minutes, waiting for the | sun to come from behind some clouds and ehine long enough to ex- pand the hellum in its huge body, the naval dirigible Shenandoah cast off on the sccond leg of its trags- continental flight at 9:46 a. m., cen- tral time today. After circling over Forth Worth, the silvery-grey ship turned west- ward with San Diego, Calif,, as ite next port of ¢ Flight Successful. When the ship cast oft it had suc- cessfully completed its first night at a strange landing station, hitched to a strange mooring mast. Though the craft has made several agpvernight flights, its earthly connection had always been at Lakehurst, N, J., its home port. Lieutenant Commander L. Han- cock, who was in charge of naviga- tion from Lakehurst to Fort Worth, estimated that the trip to El Paso would take approximately 14 to 16 hours, making the passage over that city come some time after 10 p. m. mountain time. With favorable winds on the oth- er side of Kl Paso, the trip to San Diego will probably be made in 30| hours, he declared. | During the morning the ship was Rosan- | dahl, navigator, who will supervise ! the operation to the destination, | Lakoview, Washington. | Rear Admiral W. A, Moftett, chief of the bureau of naval aeronautics, | is on board as official observer. | Big Crowd Cheers. As the ship cast off a cheer went up from the large crowd that had assembled. * Immediately the ship was joined by an escort squadron of five airplanes, which accompanied it for eeveral miles. During the night the ship took on | 1,500 gallons of gasoline, about 500 | gallons of water ballast, and 50 gal- lons of lubricating oil, in addition to food for the grew.

Blair, farmer of Killingworth and house painter in the Bronx borough, on the ground that she had shot in self defense requested by Public Defender Donahoe, this noon, was refused by Judge Arthur F. Elis in the Middle~ county superior court. Mrs. Tell is on trial on a manslaughter charge. Two grand juries had de- clined to indict her on a charge of murder. Struck While Alive The motion of Mr. Donahoe for discharge of the accused came after the jury had been temporarily, ex- | cused following the cross-examina- tion of Dr. Jessie W. Fisher, patholo- | gist at the Middlesex county aospital | who had sworn that blood tests had indicated that after Blair had been | shot and while yet alive his body had been hacked seven times with an axe, Dr. I'isher also claimed that it was possible for the bullet which went through Blair’s head to 1iave . she stood four feet away from him on the other side of a table as two offi« cers had testified Mrs. Tell had said she had done. With rejection of Mr. Donahoe's motion to discharge the court re- cesded. Dr, Visher Tostifies Dr. Fisher said that it was impos- sible that the wound on the right | side of Blair's neck could have beem inflicted by a bullet fired by Mrs. | Tell at Blair while they stood on op- posite sides of the kitchen table, four feet apart, as ehe had stated to offi- cers to whom she had confessed the homicide. Dr, Fisher said that if the | bullet had been fired as Mrs. Tell told ‘the officers she had fired it, it would have gone straight through Blair's neck and would not have gone upward through the brain, in her opinion. Dr. Fisher said she ex- amined each of the 13 wounds on Blair's body. Of the wounds seven were inflicted dy an axe, in her opin= ion. The most serious of the wounds was that inflicted by the bullet she had referred to in her evidence, and about which Mrs. Tell is said to have confessed. Hacked While Alive Dr. Fisher was of the opinion that after Blair was hit by the bullet he C ed all voluntary movement al though she thought possibly he may have made some involun move- fterwards.
