Dit no mercy was shown the culprit, and, although his sufferings were ter- ‘rible, White remained conscious to the last. - LYNCHING LONG THREATENED, From the day Miss Bishop was murdered there have been threats of Jyiching the murderer. The jail was closely guarded all that time, and not until last night was any move made togarry the threats into execution. Early last night it became known that White had confessed, and within ‘a shor! time a great mob had assembled at Price’s Corner. It was led by four white men dressed as women. One of them is said to be a Virginian, put his identity is not known. Not only Wilmington, but all the outlying gettlements supplied their additions to the crowd and a vain attempt was wate by the officers of the law to disperso the gathering. At first a ma- ‘Jority of those on the scene seeined to have been attracted solely by curl- ‘Outy and it was not belleved that there was any great danger of violence, but as time went by the members of the mob became inflamed by the harangues of the leaders and later on in the evening the feeling reached a high pitch. At 10 o'clock {t was decided to march to the workhouse, where Whito whe confined, and take him from his guards, Headed by the four men in , Women’s clothes and armed with pistols, shotguns and rifles, the mob has- _, taned to the jail, singing popular scngs and cheering as they went. Arriving the Lorily afte: 11 o'clock a demand was made upon tne Warden for his prisoner and this was met with a eharp refusal. Wi arnod| “4m advance of th: impending trouble the Warden had summoned extra) guards, and when the mob insisted upon his giving up the negro he prepared to defend the Jail, He warned the leaders of the attacking party that his men were heavily atmed and that they would fire if an effort was made to * preak in the doors. BATTER IN THE DOORS. ") ¥or reply a number of the most active In the party outside secured a yoattery of railrcad ties and with these they began the work of smashing in the heavy iron doors. For some time the strength of the locks and Shinges cefied their efforts,“but at last they gave way with a crash and{ the mob, now frenzied with rage and excitement, poured through the outer Py entrance. fy + Yelling Uke demons in response to the appeals of thelr leaders the men ‘attacked in turn the second. third and fourth doors, and these were quickly battered down. Now almost within view of the cell within which the cowering negro crouched, pleading with his guards to protect “him, the foremost ranks of the lynchers pressed forward only to be met with “a stern order to halt or accept the alternative of being fired upon. The only response was a chorus of derisive cries as the mob pushed steadily + toward the interior of the jail. Suddenly there was a blinding flash, followed by the crash of firearms, | “and a hail of bullets swept the corridors. Four members of the mob fell and for a moment the would-be lynchers seemed to be on the verge of re- treat. They were quickly rallied by their leaders, who ordered the wounded men taken to the rear, where they were attended by the less courageous of their comrades. ) BOY WAS SHOT IN BACK. Three of them were men whose mimes could not be ascertained, but the 9 fourth was a mere boy. He was Peter Smith, twelve years old, and a bullet “entered his back and !s thought to have penetrated his kidneys. At the Homoeopathic Hospital, where he was taken, the physicians said to-day ~ that his condition was critical. | When it was found that the raob was not to be deterred by the fire of | the guards the Warden, fearing a heavy loss of life, ordered that the fire hose be turned on. This was quickly done, but only for an instant did it * exercise a restraining influence on thesepirits of the crowd. | Recovering quickly from the rfist surprise when the heavy stream |* ‘ot water struck them full in the faces, they made a quick rush, sweep- | ing the guards before them and overrunning the corridors of the prison. | Warden Meserve rushed into the cell corridor to prevent the mob tak- | ing the wrong man. He saw that the men with hammers were about to 4emollish the cell door and told them how to disconnect the door so that it could be operated. As soon as the door to White's cell slid open there was | @ deafening cheer and cries of “Don't hurt him! hang him Don't hit} him! Burn him at the sitke!” Take him to the place where he mur- dered Miss Bishop, for we have driven a stake there and will burn him White fought desperately for his life jn the little tron cage coll and + Ynogked down the first man who approached him. The leaders again showed their clear-hendedness, and one of them, a powerful man, stepped forwerd before any one could strike the prisoner and threw his arms around the frightened wretch, thus protecting him from violence. At this time the narrow corridor was so tightly packed by the mob that | ft was impossible to get the prisoner out. One of the leaders worked his way through the mob to the main corridor and after much difficulty per- | suaded the crowd to begin the retreat from the building, promising that! \ everybody should get a chance to see the prisoner. When they did more | the crowd cleared the building in a very short time. White, in the custody of two strong men, brought up the rear. The lawn {a front of the prison was a sea of faces when viewed from the porch, PLEADED TO TALK TO CROWD. White's custodian became convinced that unless strategy was, used there} would be little chance of getting their man to the spot on Price's road where it was planned that the negro should be burned to death. This +, danger was overcome by a quiet order to extinguish lanterns or keep them * ooncealed. In the darkness there was a confused rush, and after this no one seemed to know where the prisoner was. Or the way White begged to be allowed to say a few words to the crowd before he wes killed, and the promise wat ma‘e to him that he should be allowed to make a state- ment. While White was praying and confessing and the crowd was struggling to form a circle three or four stern-faced men began splitting rails with which to burn the wretch. It took so long to get the fue! ready that the crowd impatiently cried to the leaders to proceed with the execution. When everything seemed to be about ready a man on a white hcrse rode ‘(nto the crowd. It is said his home is in Kentucky. Taking off his broad- brimmed felt hat he bowed to the crowd and said: “Ladies and gentlemen, me and this hoss are going to get some straw to start this fire.” He rode to a neighboring farmhouse and in a short time reappeared} with two stacks of straw. The straw was placed around the stake and| ‘White was brought bareheaded into the circle. His nerve seemed to be _ | Geod and he held his head up while he addressed the crowd. He made an-} © other confession and appealed for mercy, A strong rope was then brought ie and the negro was wrapped in its coils from shoulders to feet. His mouth) was working while this was going on and he seemed to be trying to finish | his statement. The crowd was in a burry to get through with its gruesome task and called out for tho executioners to hasten. After the rope had been adjusted the negro was fastened to the stake and the torch was applied to the straw. RAN AND WAS PUSHED BACK. The flames leaped up and licked the man’s bare hands. He was beld _ erect by one of the lynchers until his clothing was burning fairly, when he Was pushed into the bed of fire. He rolled about and his contortions were terrible, but he made no sound. Suddenly the ropes on his legs parted and he sprang from the fire and started to run. A man struck him on the head with a piece of fence-rail and knocked him down, Willing hands threw him sgain into the flames. He rolled out several times, but wi Promptly returned. While this was going on, shouts, cheers and jibes went trom the crowd. When the negro had ceased to chow signs of life the was placed on its back and fuel was piled upon it until a roaring fire ,800D cnnsuming it. | ‘ * * The Coroner's inquest was held yesterday, but, as the authorities feared tt harm would befall the negro, he was not taken from the workhouse and Re inquest was proceeded with without his presence, The verdict of the that Miss Bishop came to her death “from the effects of an assault upon her by one George White, a negro." out all of yesterday the opinion was freely expressed that the id take the law i~ their own hands, and many prominent city were heard to say that White ought to be summarily the afternoon a report gained currency that a mob had been | ported | to bed, | assist the regular attendan | biankets and THE WORLD: TUESDAY EVENING, HERDIGM OF MAG, PEATS WAG IN VAIN Child That She Carried} Through Flame and Smoke from Blazing Home of Her Husband, the Mad Millionaire, Dies MOTHER IS BADLY HURT.
