NEGRO MURDERERS.
Inflames the Mob and the Streets
of New Orleans
18 STAINED WITH BLOOD.
A Desperate Negro Kills Two
Police Officers and Wounds
n Third Which Causes
a B:g Row
A trifling incident at Now Orlans lias
begun a series of tragedies which may
culminate in a popular uprising similar
to the Italian lynching somo years ago.
Two suspicious Negroes wore hanging
around a quiet neighborhood and
somebody took the precaution to inform
the police. Several otlioers wont
to the sceno and instead of making ex
planations or going to jail, the Negroes
showed fight. Pistols were soou in play
ami Officer Mora was seriously shot.
Ono of tho Negroos was arrested, but
tho Negro?Kobort Charles?who did
the shooting, since said to ho a draper
ato burglar and ex oonviot, got away,
although wounded.
The police organized a pursuing
party and succeeded in locating the
fugitive. Oapt. John T Day, commanding
the preoiuot, led a posso of
polioo to his shanty and tried to roach
the rcfugeo by a dark alley loading to
it. They carried lantorns and wore
easily distinguished, and when thoy got
close enough Charles oponed firo with a
Winchester, killing Oapt. Day and
kooping up tho fusillade until tho captain
had five wouuds iu him.
A Negress oponed the door of an adjoining
room and told the police to
jump in, as Charles had rifles and ammunition
nnd an imprognablo position.
They obeyed, thinking to hold Charlos
in his quarters until holp or daylight
oauio. Officer LanihwaHtho last of tho
throe Burvivors to attompt to roaoh
sholtcr, aftor emptying his rovolvor in
tho dirootion of tho Negro, and Charlos
reaohed out and dropped him with a
bullet bohind tho ear.
Nearly an hour olap9od before reonforeomonts
oauio, and thoso woro
placed around the block to prevent escape.
It was then discovered that
Charles had already loft tho room,
though a shot at the pickets told that
ho was in the neighborhood. Tho two
dead policemen wero removed and a
systematic search organiz.od, but no
traoe of the fugitivo was found, Polioo,
armed with riffes, and oitizons
similarly equipped, and a borrowod
bloodhound kept up the quest; and had
Charles boon sighted ho would havo boon
Bhot to pieoes.
Mayor Capdcviollc offered a reward
of $100 andCov. Hoard has addod $250
for tho State. Parties arooutin all directions,
even miles away from the oity,
and all trains and oars aro being
earohod. Suspoots woro arrosted in
tho suburbs but tho right man was not
caught. In tho meantime the polioo
had work to do and the whole force was
kept busy.

tho soono of the shooting and, lacking
a viotim or other oxoitoujont, proposed
vengeance on tho property and on the
Nogroos in the iiovoih around. Tho
polioo promptly quelled the diBturbors
and jailod a number, but tho guard had
to bo inoroasod. A ooinmittoo from tho
rospoot&blo colored olemont called on
Chief Oaster Wodnosday and offered
aid in running down tho murderer, and
as somo of them know the nun by sight
thoir sorvioos wore aoooptcd.
Tho excitement has not yet died out,
and tho capture of tho Nogro, who is
likely hiding in the city, may Btart tho
mob going.
the mob in ci1akoe.
Now Orleans was in tho hands of a
mob Wednosday and Wodnosday night.
The inurdor of tho two polio* officers
caused tho wlioV (rouble. Throughout
tho day attacks wero uiado by irresponsible
mobs uf whitCH upon tho blacks,
and the negroes beforo nightfall had
been ellootually ohased from thestreots.
'1 bo offeot of tho disordors was to put
> finunuai OIUJI IU UU01UUHH 1U U10 W'lOlOwalo
districts and on tho lcvco front.
As this meant a serious crippling of tho
trado of tho port the business olouicnt
rallied in foroo and hundreds of the
moat prominent men of tho city responded
to the appeal of tho mayor for
usflistanoo in prosorving order.
Tho police have boon praotioally
holpless throughout tho disturbances.
The foroo oonsists cf some 300 woo, including
clerks and telegraph operators,
and this is manifestly a foroc inadequate
to the piosorvation of the poaca
of a city of 310,000 pooplo. Hut asido
from this the ficroo indignation among
the members of tin department over
tho ruthless murders of (-apt. Day and
I'oliooman Lamb and the serious wounding
of Officor Mora by the nogro llobort
Charlofl, to some extent made tho polioo
sympathetic with tho mobs in their
protonded off irts to avongo tho murdors.
The fact that thoro has boon a strong
resentment on tho part of the working
people against stoamship agents and
oontraotors in the employment of nogro
labor to tho exclusion of whites on
public works an 1 on tho levoo, also contributed
somewhat, it isboliovod, to tho
disinclination of the polioo to do their
full duty.

?'in/ui v?i?uuviiiinj wan at uooan
Springs last night when the mobs
swoptovor tho oity. Whon he arrived
at his office Wednesday he found awaiting
him a delegation of tho loading morohants
of the oity, who said tho interests
of tho oommunity and its commercial
wolfare demanded prompt and
vigorous aotion. About the samo timo
Lieut. Gov. Estopinol, who had witnossod
a soono of outrage upon nogroos
on Canal stroot, joined tho oonforonoe
at tho hotel. Ho at onoo advisod a conferonoo
with Gov. Heard at Haton
Kouge. The long distanoe 'phono was
used and tho governor said ho would
order.
Without dolay he sont messages to
Col. Hodgson in tho absonoe of Gen.
Glynn and had him immediately ordor
out tho Washington artillory, tho
Louisiana fiold and the First rogimont.
At twilight there were 1,500 men congregated
in the armories. At the same
time tho mayor, in a proclamation, appealed
for 500 special polioo. Before 4
<>
p. ui., 400 of tho representative oitiHens
of the community had boon sworn
in. Tho mayor mado requisition on tho
leading hardware and auiumuitioa establishments
of tho oity and tho spooials
wore heavily armed and sent to
various section of the oity. Hoodlums
prowlod tho stroets throughout tho
day, and whonevcr thoy spied a
negro, assaulted him. In soiuo casos
citizens rallied to tho polioo and with
their asnstanoo beat off tho attackors.
Just after daylight (ho remnants of one
of tho mobs gathered at tho Spanish
Fort railway station whenoo a large
number ot negro laborers daily loavolor
their work at Ohalmotto. Tlioy Haw a
orowd of darkies approaching and
started to chace thorn, Louis Lapuyard
got in their way and received a
bullet in the leg. Later in the forenoon
a negro emptied his pistol into a
down town houso and wounded a child.
At 11 o'olock a mob inarched through
Lafayotto square, which is opposito the
oily hall, and discovering some nogrocH
iu the park, jumped on and boat thorn
until they made their escape. An hour
afterward a whito man Haw a negro
named Loss at the earn *r of Lifayoito
and Dryades strcots and fired his gun
at hitu. Thoso on tho slrcot fled in
every dirootion and tho negro made his
oseapc. Short'y after 1 o'olock Josephine
Wild, a child, while sotted in
front of her home, caught astray bullet
in the knee.
Ono of tho most sontationa 1 incidents
of the day was the discovery of two
negroes badly wounded in a box ear on
the levoo front They were desperately
hurt and only one was conscious. Ho
was so frightened that he declined to
give any aooounl of how tho shooting
occurred.
M ayor Japdoviollo and his assistants
made nrrangomouts thii afternoon for
transportation facilities which would
assist in tho quick dispatch both of the
militia and of the special police from
ono scotion of tho city to another. All
tho trolley linoH sent representatives to
his honor to say that thoy w mid place
spooial oars at his disposal throughout
the night so that armed foroos could bo
moved quickly. ' The express com
panies also assured tho mayor that
thoir wagons would bo roady to respond
to any call which might bo mado
upon thorn.
Lato this afternoon Mayor Capedovicllo
issued a proclamation which had
an cxoollcnt effect. It oallod upon all
good citizens not enrolled in tho spooial
polioo to go to their homos or
placos of business and remain there
Thoy wero also warned and adviso
not to assemble or idle about th<
streets. Tho polioo, general and spo j
oial, woro ordered and diroeted to dis j
porso all crowds and to arrest all oh ,
steporous and disorderly persons
l'hoy wore especially ordered, after 7 ,
p. in., to arrest all persons found loal
ing or idliog about tho streets. As a
result of the proclamation touiglit few
people wcro upon the streets.
At tho various exchanges this after
noon tho wish was exprcssod that The I
Associated I'ross might inako it public
to the world that tho prcaent ciii"uti
was 0110 sincerely deprecated, and having
the support of none of tho censor
vativo olcments of tho community.
Tho local business bodies aro much opposed
to the importation hero of large
numbors of negroes by plantations to
work on tho levees or tho publio
works, but while they aro of that
opinion, tlioy aro very much opposed to
violent methods in dealing with tho negro
population. Only tho worst clomcnts
have participated in tho disor
dcrs.
THE DESPERADO Ml.I.ED.
After a doaporato battle lasting for
scvoral hours in which ho suoooodod in
killing Sorgt. Gabriel l'ortcus, Andy
Van Kurem, keeper of the polioo jail,
and Alfred .1. Mloomfiold, a young boy,
fatally wounding Corporal .John F.
Lilly, John Hanvillo, ex -Policeman
Frank 11. Evans. A. S. Loeioro, one of
tbo leading confectioners of tho oily,
and more or less seriously shooting sov
cral citizen*, tlio negro desperado,
Hubert Charles, who killed Capt. Day
and Patrolman Lamb and badly wounded
Officer More, was smoked out of his
hiding plaeo in tho hoart of tlio rosidenco
section of the city and literally
shot to pieces. The tragedy was tho
most rcmarkablo in the history of the
city, and 20,000 pooplo, soldiers, policemen
and citizens wore gathered around
tho square in which Charles was linally
put to death.
Sorgt. Uabe Porteus, onoof the best
known oflioors on the force, and Sorgt.
.John V. Lally, who has a lino record for
bravery, wore informed during tho day
by a negro that Charlos was in hiding
in a house on Clio, near Saratoga strcot.
Dotormining to tako him alive if possible,
the officers summoned a nuiubor
of patrolmen 10 their assistanoo and
went to tho house where Charles waB
supposed to bo in concealmont. Tho
negro informant of the policemen accompanied
tho officers. They ontorod
tho sido alloy of tho house and wero
surprised in practically the same way
as wore Day and Jiaiub. lleforo the
otfioors wero aware of their danger
Charlos, who was hidden behind a
scrcon on the second floor of tho building,
raised his Winohostor and began a
furious but aocuiato tiro. Lally fell
with a bullot in tho right rido of tho abdoinon.
Portous was shot through the
head and dropped dead across tho body

nogro tied frotn tho socno. Tho roports
of Charlos' WincliOBtor and tho faot that
two officers lay blooding in tho yard,
raisod trcmondous oxoitomont. Hurry
calls were Bont to the mayor, tho ohiof
of police and Col. Wood, in command of
tho spocial police, and as fast as possible
armed holp was rushed to the
soono. In a little whilo there was an
immense armed crowd ouoiroling tho
8<juaro in whioh Charlos was located.
In tho iuoantime Father Fitzgorald of
St. John's church was summoned to administer
extreme unotion to tho police
officorfl, who wcro lying in tho alloy.
The priost responded promptly and he
was annointing tho body of Frotous,
with Alfrod J. Bloomfiold, a young boy
standing by his sido, when Charlos
again appearod at tho window. The
lad saw him at onco and begged
tho desporado not to shoot him.
Charlos immediately tired his Winohoster
again and Hloomfiold fell doad. Tho
priest, unhurt, loft tho sceno aftor
pluokily performing tho last offioo for
tho dead offioor. This timo tho ambulanoo
arrivod and two citizens volunteered
to go in tho alloyway and bring
out tho body of Lally. They entored,
and whilo they wcro attempting to take
(
tho body of tho dead oCoor from that
of liiti colleague, Charloa tirod again.
Tho oitizoDH, iKvorthcloHH, got l<ally's
body out of the alloy and afterward
auocoedod in taking I'ortous' body out
also. In tho uicantiuio an iinincnuo
throng had gathorodin tho vioinity and
achcnios wcro act on foot to got Charloa
out of tho building. Charloa, howovcr,
did not proposo to bo oapturod without
Hilling hia life dearly. Timo after timo
ho oanto to tho window and aH oitizena,
ouo by one, tntcrod tho alloy, ho blazed
away at them. In this manner Confectioner
hoolorc, who wan ono of tho
special police a<(uad, cx I'oliooman
ftVAim, .Jonu isanvuie ana Ucorgo li.
Lyons, Hon of ihu head of tho biggost
drug establishment iu (he Houth, woro
wounded.
At this time tho extra t'olico began
to lire indisoriuiinatvly at tho Nogro.
Who shot liiin will probably novor bo
known, .Just at tho tiino Andy Van
Kurem, keeper of tho polico jail, got a
bullet in tho body and fell dead. .J nut
afterward 11. II. Halt, an old man,
aged tin, working for tho mutual bono
volent aHHoeiation, doing business in
tho vicinity, was hit and mortally
wounded. About tho naiuo time, with
Charles firing his WinohoRtcr indiscriminately,
Frank Itcrtuooi received n
shot in tho left nhouldcr and .). VV.
Itoiil got a hot bullet in the right hand.
Ultimately it was conoludcd by thoso
who woro handling the Hituation that
the only way lo get at Charles was to
burn tho building iu whioh he was entrenched.
There were, however, some
Horuplos about resorting to this method
of getting him, owing lo the excrtmoly
thickly populated section iu which tho
house was situated. Nevertheless, it
was determined that the lire department
should bo oalled out, in order to
protoot surrounding property, in case
it should be resolved to burn the build
ing.
At the moment of apparont indecision
sotno one went to a neighboring grocery.
purchased a can of oil. and. nour
ing it ovor tho roar stops of the build
ing, applied a match And uoon had tho
building in fltiues. Ho fiercely did the
tiro burn that it bocauio ovidont that
no human being oould live in tho building
and picked tnon from tho polioo,
squards and members of the militia
stationed thcmsolvos about the building
in order to piok otT the desperado,
as ho attempted to leave tho houso.
A young Holdior nainod Adolph Andor
son, a mcmbor of tho Thirteenth com
pany of tho State militia, was ono of
the first to see Charles as ho ran down
n' i-teps leading to tho second story,
harlos ran aoross tho yard and entered
tho second room, lie firod several
limes at Andorson and tho latter, who
was armed with a Winchostor rifle, shot
tho iNcgro in tho breast and bo fell and
died soon after.
Ah soon as tho Negro fell numbers of
pooplo armed with Winchesters and revolvers
rushed in and fired into the
body. Charles was literally shot to
pieces. After it was certain that he
was dead a m )b entered tho yard and
dragged tho body into the street,
riioro the police and the mob omptiod
their rovolvors into it whilo a son ol
ono of tho murdored men rushed up and
stamped tho faco beyond rooognition
There wore then loud howls that the
body should bo taken to a vacant
squaro in tho vicinity aud publicly
burned. At this instant, however, a
big squad of polioo dashed up in a patrol
wagon. Thoro wore thousands
of pooplo congregated in the vicinity
ami it seemed as if thero might bo a
clash between tho olhocrs and tho mob.
Hut tho police took tho body and carried
it to police lioadquarters. Shortly
aftor the body of Charles had beoti
taken from tho soono a report spread
that thoro were still sonio negroes in
tho burning building. Tho square wae
again quickly surrounded by piokod
men and under guard of men with Winchesters
a special squad made its way
iuto the building. In a room which
tho tiro had not yot roaohod thrco ncgroos
wcro found dressed in female attire.
They woro hustled out and immediately
Hont to prison in a patrol
wagon. Subsequently a fourth negro,
a mulatto, was discovered in tho building.
Ho mado a dcspcr&to resistance
against boing arrested and while in tho
hands of tho police was killed by a shot
fired from n pistol in tho hands of one
of tho disorderly mob that had congregated
in tho vioinity. .Just about the
timo that Charles' body reached the
morgue the body of an unknown negro,
who had boon shot and stabbed to
death on Gallatin street, was carried
in. This darkoy was passing through
tho French markot when ho was seen
by a crowd of whites. Tho latter were
iutonscly excited by tho nows of tho
slaughter of l'ortcus and others up
town and they immodiatoly mobbed
him. Tho unknown nogro ran for his
life and tho angry mob kopt at his heols,
tho orowd increasing in numbers every
minute. Tho nogro finally sue seeded
in entering a house in Gallatin street.
Ho ran up stairs and jumped from tho
gallery to the ground. Boforo he could
arise the mob shot and stabbod him to
death.

At a lato hour tonight a mob which
had ovaded the militia and tho oitizens'
