little town of Tlptonvlll.e., tmrderlnx
on Reel Foot Bake, which lias be«*n
the past inontli. witnessed'fire hang
ing late this uflernoun nf three b—
groes, who were arrested this morn
lug for murdering Special Depot''
Sheriff Richard Rurruss, and ratal’s
wounding John Hall, a tfepntx
sheriff.
The negroes names are Marshall
Stineheck, Edward Silnebeck and
Jim Stinebeck. 'I'he brothers creat
ed a disturbance-at ir religions nieel-
Ing near J.iptonvllle Saturday nigh'
and when’ the two lOflieers went to
arrest them, a fight ensued In whlc.t
the negroes shoi down tho officer*
and made tie .. escape.
It was barely daylight Sunday
morning before a poss* of citizens
from Tiptonvllie and the surroundlnt
country wen fn pursuit of theTTT'
gmes, blit (her successfully eluded
th • whlti* men imUl 8 o'clock Hii
monring when they w. i^-wrrrfttunded
and captured in a little swaini> near
the vlllage'of Rldgely.
Once captured, the ^murdeters
were quietly landed In Jail at Tip
tonville. The news of their raptun
spread raphtRy to the surrounding
territory and In addition to several
hundred meiirfeers of the posse men
began arriving by every roiid-aiml
siKin the JaiJ was surrounded by
mob which had no hesitancy In
threatening 'a iynclring quickly and
surely. ^^
In fact II was feared at noon that
tho tiest towns people could not pre
vent thet lynching from taking" pine*
lu broad daylight.
One of the first citizens to moun*
the steps of the Jail and make an ap
peal to the mob was J. T. Hurneti
a will wnown lawyer. He recalled
Hie recent night rider outrages which
had disgraced th« vlcintly. He arl
monished his hearers not to do any
thing desperate, and to let^tho law
take its course, at tjio^same Him
promising that full Justice would b<
done tho throe blick nn'ii. This
met with a long growt nf xtburpprovfi't
apt^ Mr- llprnett. evidently seejnv
' that his remarks were bf no aval
pleaded with the men that if they
were determined to lynch the n<
groes to at least await until nigh 1
had fallen.
Taylor Hall, a brother • of thi
wounded deputy sheriff, followed Mr
Burnett. He said In effect that a
postponement of the lynchingyjintil
night would tie satisfactory to him
The mob, however, was very rest
less and It was soon seen that 1'
*
would lie Impossible to stem tho Ttib
of feriing.
As a last resort S. .1. Caldwfii
a townsman, and Sheriff Haynes
went before Justice Bee Davis am!
PTffiialned the situation, telling of He
menacing ‘attitude of the crowd
which thronged the streets leadint
to the jail. Justice Davis agreed ;<
open his court at once, and at s
o'clock summoned a jury of 12 nun
and allowed the negroes, _ after all
evidence that could be adduced wa.
heard, to 1>" duly sentenced to death
Meanwhile Governor Patterson
was advised by telephone of the sit
nation and ordered a company ot
militia lu this city to porceed.wllh
all- .baste to f secure. the negroes and
conduct th in to a place of safety
The troops 'were started at once,
but failed to arrive in time to pr ■
vent the hanging.
