Victims Taken Before Magistrate, Found Guilty of Murder Sentenced to Die and Executed. Union City, Tenn., November 24. ?The little town of Tiptonville, bordering on Reelfoot lake, which has been the scene of many stirring in-; cidents the past month, witnessed < the lynching late this afternoon of three negroes who were arrested this morning for murdering Special Deputy Sheriff Richard Jurruss and fatally wounding John Hall, a deputy sheriff. The negroes' names are: Marshall Stinebeck, Edward Stinebeck, Jim Stinebeck. These brothers created a disturbance at a religious iheeting near Tiptonville Saturday night and when the two officers attempted to arrest them a fight ensued in which the neI groes came out victorious and made their escape. It was barely daylight Sunday morning before a posse of citizens from Tiptonville and the surrounding country were in pursuit of the negroes, but they sijccessfully fought the white men until 8 o'clock this morning when they were surrounded and captured in a little swamp near the village of Ridgely. The vicinity is known as the Old River Bed canebrake and it is a difficult ! matter to trace a man or beast through its tangles. Once captured, however, the negroes, covered by a hundred guns, were qquickly landed in jail at Tiptonville. The negroes when arrested had two guns in their possession, but had run out of amunition. Large Crowd Gathers. The news of their capture spread rapidly to the surrounding territory and in addition to the members of the posse people began arriving by every road and soon the jail was surrounded by a mob which had no hesitancy in threatening a lynching quickly and surely. In fact, it was feared at noon that the best township people could not prevent the lynching from taking place in broad daylight. One of the first citizens to mount the steps of the jail and make an appeal to the mob was J. T. Burnett, a well known lawyer. He recalled the recent night-rider outrages which had disgraced the vicinity. He admonished his hearers not to do anything desperate, and to let the law take its course, at the same time promising that full justice would be done the three black men. This met with a long growl of disapproval and Mr. Burnett, evidently seeing that his remarks were of no avail, pleaded with the men that if they were determined to lynch the negroes to at ; least wait until night had fallen. : Taylor Hall, a brother of the woundi ed deputy sheriff, followed Mr. Bur ^ i i t < f V. >QU s stock is selected with the g that if the animal does not pro t this is rather a risky thing to ;o expect. But he lives up to t isiness if anything goes wrong ?d mulea for any purpose?f: for cash, uses the utmost car< look, and if you decide to buy ink 'ehicle Man got to tell you about the large will keep until another time. ? j nett. He said in effect that a postponement of the lynching until night would be satisfactory to him. The mob, .however, was very restless and it was soon seen that it would be impossible to stem the tide of feeling. Impromptu Trial Held. As a last resort, S. J. Caldwell, a townsman, and Sheriff Haynes went before Justice Lee Davis and explained the situation telling of the menacing attitude of the crowd which thronged the streets leading to the jail. Justice Davis at once agreed to open h;s court, and at 5 o'clock summoned a jury of 12 men and allowed the negroes, after all evidence that could be adduced was heard, to be duly sentenced to death. Meanwhile Gov. Patterson was advised by telephone of the situation and ordered a company of militia in this city to proceed with all haste to secure the negroes and conduct them to a place of safety The troops were started at once, but failed to arrive in time to prevent the lynching. At the trial only the evidence of those who had seen the killing was heard and in an incredibly short time the case was given the jury, who in a few minutes returned a verdict of guilty and fixed the penalty at death. The sentence had barely been passed on the three negroes wlien the mob, with a whoop and a yell, swarmed into the court room and seizing the negroes rushed them to a large tree near the edge of town and hanged them, firing volley after volley into the air as the bodies were drawn up from the earth.
