THREE NEGROES LYNCHED
ANOTHER OUTBREAK OF LAW1
LESSNESS AT REELFOOT LAKE.
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.

ed deputy sheriff, followed Mr. Bur

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.
