Birmingham Attorney Beat
en Until Blood Streamed
from Lacerations.
Birmingham, Ala., Dec. 29. City and
county authorities had made little
headway, they reported today, in an ef
fort to run down members of a mask
ed mob, who lured W. E. Tumlin, well
known Birmingham attorney, to Red
mountain Tuesday night and beat mm
vintil olood streamed from a score of
lacerations on his body.
Tumlin was enticed from his office
by a youth, who pretended that the
lawyer was -wanted by a patient in a
Red Mountain sanitarium to draw up
a will. "When he had reached a lonely
spot in the hills, Tumlin reported to
Solicitor Tate, he was seized by mask
ed men, who bound and gagged him.
The lawyer reported to Solicitor Tate
that he was told he must promise to
remarry his divorced wife, or death
would be immediately inflicted. He re
fused to make such promise, accord
ing to his report to the prosecuting
attorney, and t'he mob set upon him
with laths. After the beating, the
members of the mob departed, leaving
him too weak to walk for some time.
He finally found his way back to a
telephone, where he summoned aid. As
soon as he was able yesterday he re
ported the matter to the authorities.
Records in the chancery division of
the Circuit Court showed that, on Oc
tober 19, 1921, a decree of absolute di
vorce was granted Tumlin on the
grounds of cruelty and voluntary abandonment.
