The Storyf of the Crime. Theevents that lead to thelvnch ing were .asfojlows, .irah Parker, aged 13, daughter of Benj am i n Parker, a respectablu planter in tho suburbs, was - criminally a?saultel by a negro as he returned home from the city through a wood m-ar her home. She wis strangled antf left senseless oh tho ground, lie covering she g(jt to the house in a mo3t pitiable jcondition. On her throat were the li.rger marks of the brute and her person lad been ter ribly lacerated. A physician, in stantly summoned, considers her case a critical one. The police were notified and tho country and town wero s'carehe.r closely for the'guilty party. About nine o'clock Saturday night a negro named John Humphreys was arres ted. The girljhad stated that the negro wore a striped shirt and was barefooted. When arrested Hum phreys had on a white shirt and shoes, but it was ascertained that he bad taken ill a striped shirt, put on the white cine, and had put on shoos, lie was made to put on the striped shirt and take off tho ' shoes, and was taken into the pres ence of the girl, who inde'ntified him immediately. The negro; was locked up in tho city calaboose. Considerable excitement prevailed and whispering of lyuching wero heard. In ohler to aVoi;Vthit-, at I yesterday moaning the negro' was put in the steel cgo of the county ' jail. -About 2:1'5 a. 111.', a bind of twenty-five toj forty masked men came to the jail. and. before Deputy -. Sheriff James orley was aware of it they were in the jail..- He grasp ed a gun and j ran to the top of the steps and opened fire on the crowd, which was returned with a shower of bullets. 5 No one was hurt as fur as ascertained. Worley was over powered, bntl would not give" the combination jof the cage lock. The mob, being prepared with sledge hammers and crowbars, : tore the cage to pieces, occupying fully! an hour in doing it. They ;took tho negro out and .hanged ilirn to li tree about a Quarter of a mile from the jail. As soon as .. released. Sheriff Worley rang the fire bell, headed a posse and tried to recover- the prisoner,' bnt was eluded by the niob. It is said that the crowd was partly made) up of nigroes. The affair is deprecated, but there was sa id. to be no doubt of the iudentity of the criminal, as in fact the, pris oner admitted to the officers apj.re hending liinj that he attempted tho outrage, "but did not-... commit it. The evidencejwas said to be conclu sive. The- negro was a mulatta of bad reputation, aged 19, and came here six months ago from Spartan burg,S. CfCharlollc Chronicle.
