MOB S&TRT BURSTS IN CAIRO, ILL.,
STREETS SCENES OF BLOOD OkGY
Negro and White Man Killed; the
Latter, After Being Hanged and
Shot, Is Burned.
STATE DISGRACED,
SAYS GOV DENEEN
Before Body Was Burned, Head Was Cut .Off, Heart Cut Out
and Divided as Souvenirs Street Crowd of 10,000
Included Many Women Women Pulled
Rope That Hanged Negro Town Quiet
Under Military Guards.
CAIRO, 111., Nov. 12. Cuiro la
qulot under guard of tho mil
itary this morning, alter the
worst night of mob rule In tho city's
history, when two men, a negro anil a
white man, were lynched by citizens.
Will James, the negro, whs hanged,
riddled, and burned for murdering
Miss Anna Pclley. Tho lynching of
Henry Salzner was for the brutal mur
der of his wife three months ago to
rebuke delayed justice. A great
crowd of women helped to execute
Salxner. '
Arthur Alexander, a negro implicat
ed by James In the Pclley crime, was
safely Jailed this morning. He was
put In a policeman's uniform and
thereby cscapod the mob's detection.
The mob learned he was in the Jul),
but no effort has yet been made to
take him out.
The negro, James, was captured at
.Belknap, and confessed while the rope
was around his neck. The rope was
pulled by women. Tho body was
dragged a mile through the streets
Mil then burned. Pieces of the rope
era handed out as souvenirs. The
Mini's head was cut off, his heart
m taken out cut Into pieces for sou-
tnirs. . iY ''
Governor Deneen says the affair Is a
eVajrace to Illinois.
' ITopIc I1c!el.. '
Mayor Parsons, speaking of the mob
spirit, asserts that a majority of the
citizens are pleased over the lynching.
While the disgrace to the city Is de
plored he believes the result will be
salutary. "There haa not been an offi
cial execution In Cairo for more than
ten years, yet the city has had many
murders. Juries havo failed to con
vict, and It has been possible for mur
derers 'to escape. Murder In Cairo
has. I regret to say, been tolerably
safe." -
; Mob Spirit Cowed.
The arrival of five companies of the
militia before noon apparently cowed
the spirit of the lynchers, and no fur
ther attempts to storm the Jail where
Alexander la confined is expected.
Snldlcni line the streets, and another
outbreak Is Improbable.
No effort has' been made to' learn
tho name of the lynchers.
State Guard Ordered Out.
The governor, who Is in Chicago,
ordered 11 companies of tho state
guard to Cairo at once. Tho mob gave
Salxner a chance to confess after the
rope was around his neck, but ho was
o frightened that he could only
mumble that his sisters had killed his
wife.
The mob becameTurlous at this and
It was hard work to keep them off
Kalxner long enough to give him a
rhance to pray. The mob finally sub.
sided and a short service was held,
after which he was strung up, the
rope being placed over a telegraph
pole at Twenty-first and Washington

The Cage Broken.
The mob found aome difficulty In

THE MORSE JURY
Counsel for the Ice King Declares That
the Jury Was Permitted to In
dulge in Liquors.
ONE MEMBER, HE SAYS, WAS
MENTALLY INCOMPETENT
All Thc-e ('barges Put in the Form of
nu Anidavit by Mr. Utile.
John.
New York, November 12. Charges
were made yesterday by Mur
tln W. Littleton, as counsel for
Charles W. Morse, that the Jury which
convicted Morse was permitted to In
dulge in llciuors to an Inordinate ex
tent while considering bin case, and
that at least one of the member was
mentally incompetent l act as a Juror.
These charges were embraced In af
fidavits siihmlfctcri by Mr. Littleton to
the Circuit Court of Appeals on a mo
tion fur a new trial, and are con
tained In printed papers served yester
day on I'nited States District-Attorney
Wise.
The charges made by Morse and bis
counsel also cast grave reflections on
the attitude and unions of some of
tho special United StatcB .deputy mur
shnls who were detailed to watch the
Jury during the trial. This broad
statement is contained In the affidavit
of Mr. Morse.
'On information and belief that the
members or the jury generally were
aware of the fact that the greater
number of the men- who had iH'en
placed In charge of them were brought
on, solely for the purposes of th- trial.
from the Street Service Department of
the I'nited States government, and
that some of the jurors were Impress
ed with the fact that tho United
States Government waa profoundly In
terested In the prosecution and con
viction of Charles W. Morse."
Talked to Officers About Case.
At the outset of tho Morse trial, the
affidavit sets forlh. Judge Hough di
rected that tho Jury should be held
together under the supervision of
United States Marshall llenkel during
the trial "free from and independent
of all extraneous lnlluencea and with
a mind single and' devoted to the so
lution of the Intrlrato questions pre
sented on the trial."
Such n condition of mind on the
part of the Jurors was rendered Im
possible, according to Morse and Mr.
Littleton, under the trentment accord
ed to the Jurors by those In charge
of them.
Morse charges In his affidavit that
some of tho Jurors on several occas
ions talked to some of tho officers In
ehnrge of them during the progress of
the trial nlsut the merits of the ease.
and tho frequently comments were,
made at meal times and In their rooms
and around the-corridors of the Astor
House, the hotel In which they were
domiciled during the trial, as to their
opinion of Morse's guilt.
It la also charged that nmtio of the
Jury openly slid angrily discussed the
fact that they were locked up, while
Morse, "the thief," was out on ball,
sitting In the courtroom and smiling
at them.
Tho affidavit sets forth that the ju
ry consisted of the following twelve
men:
John F. Elder. Edward C. Tlurgess.
John H. Friend, Alfred Capen. C,
Wilson Atkins, Edward J. Dewey,
rieorge Kndlcott, Isldor Kibe, Gordon

PA KIM. Nov. 12. The court room
. was thronged today with fash
ionably dressed women to hear
the concluding arguments In the trial
of Madame Stelnhell.
The accused woman, deathly pale,
sat in the priaoner's dock as In a
dream when the red-robed Judge ad
vocate resumed his merciless arraign
ment, shouting at the prisoner:
"We will live again that tragic
night."
The prosecutor, suming U, under

Stelnhell home on the night of the i
tragedy. He marshalled the testimony
to establish that the burglary story
was a fabrication, ami the pretended

have been stolen never existed, and
thnt the Jewels she claimed the rob

As Judge Advocate Itiocle proceeded
with this Increasingly severe denuncia

raising her clenched hands In mute
protest. At the conclusion of the

once rid of her hushund, she could
live In luxury na wifo, If possible, or
mistress. Seeking to simulate In a
graphic manner thnt her husband had
been assassinated by burglars, who
had bound and gagged herself and
her stepmother, he argued, the de
fendant had brought Madame Japy to
her home, but In the feverish haste
the binding of the mother had been
overdone and tho murderers found
her dead when tho slaying of Stelnhell
had been accomplished.
The Judge Advocate admitted that
