' Probably 8,000 people witnessed ( (he lynching. The negro was taken from hie cell at the State penitentiary a? 3 o'clock this afternoon, placed in a hack and brought to town. Fifty deputy marshals surround <-1 him and Deputy Slx-rdf.- i iM.arieo Micr6 and Thomas Brown t sat in the hack on either side o. him. v Fifty buggies and wagons fol- , lowed the hack. At Fourth and j Olive streets the police in the hick following the one in whitd Alexander was concealed, jump ?~d out and chused f.ev?n! 1 negroes. In the excitement c!" prisoner's hack wa? franrx.nilv | i ' riven to the county jail, wher< jt i e WHf lockod in a noil just as Mx 11 mob reached the doors. Tlx i jail doori were then locked. , A HUMAN liATTEUlNU RAM. ( The crowd first attempted to 1 i am admission i?y percefii" i means, but Sheriff Kverhardy re i wed to deliver the negro. Thou : :x* crowd pushed :te way tf the fide door, and using one man as . battering rani, the Jo or /. *. . j forced from its hinges. Then the < rowd surged into the corridor 1 by the narrow doorway. A huge iron bar fastened the iron door of the cell room. The door ^ -vae finally bent sufficient, for the men to climb over it. Severn1 i e-unea an entrance in thin man < tier. Meantime tho crowd had pusher! down the side gate of tho ( srockndo, and a ve! 1 ii.k pack ap eared in the jail yard. The hinges of the side door, made of heavy iron, were cat off with ?h.?dge hammers and chisels and 1 the door of the coll room broken ? fi^wn. < A YELL OF TKRROK. A Rhapeless mass was crouched dwWn in] one corner ef the dark cc'l. Five minutes' work and me heavy lock on the coll had ! h -en broken off. A yell of tor 1 rf - issued from the cell. Strong T7?*n filled the corridora with ' i,. aterical laughter. Outside the ' cowd was yelling itself hoarse. 1 Then into the ceil rushed those 1 T /iO were nearest the door. The moh issued forth in n mo 1 n.enfc dragging the negro hvthe!' c ^t collar. He had heen struck '' over the head with a hammer, hut was still conscious. Men fought to cot at him, and, infuriated. struck savagely at him. Up the hill into the courthouse vard they dragged him. Confess before we harm you," aid thev. "I am innocent. I nm dying for what another man did. I sec lots of my friends bore; they know I did not do it. If I hail tven guilty I would have said so .it the penitentiary and would have stayed there for life. The warden told me so. The police men told me ?n. Would not I have told them if I was guilty ?" "You lie", they cried, and one huge fellow struck Alexander in the forehead with his fist three times. He spoke willi iho resicnation of a man who sees before him only certain death. A move was made for a large cotton wood tree in a corner of I lie court house yard. "My Clod, men," cried (he negro in his agony. ,kI have toid you that I am innocent. I can't reii you any more 1 Unl not do it." "He lief* ; burn him," cried th*' mob. "Take him where lie committed tho murder," suggested one. Immediately the crowd, carry ins the negro, who was thrown into a wagon, pushed on towards Fourth street. At a quarter past 5 o'clock Alexander was brought to tho exact spot where I'earl Forbes, tho murdered girl, was found, a semi circle was formed Alexander was brought up in a wagon with a dozen men. The loader called for silence. The roar ceased and then Alexander was shoved forward ii:to full view of the crowd. A howl went up which was quickly hushed as the prisoner raised his shackled hands and began !o speak. Twice tho crowd drowned his trembling voice. "Now you are going to kill ine whatever 1 s:iv." he said, "hnf you men are wrong, I want to loll you ri?g!it now, you h ive got I lie wrong man. I did not do that md some day you men here will run up against the man who did. 1 know i< aint any use to say .-o. 'or you are going to kill me, hut [ didn't do it " The men standing behind Alex Uider then shoved him from 2lie wagon and the roar from the rowd drow neii ewry other sound. I'he negro wis quieklv driven hiWn the embankment to 'he file of wo< d. with his hands still ihackh'd, ;.n<i tl.ere hound to the itake. Many of the crowd carried ails and hoards. Several seized ailroad irons and carried tliein ,o the ravine. A railroad iron was planted tpright in the mud. This was undo fast to cross irons firmly vnind to tho upriglil iron with wire.

"1 don't know what you hare no here for," said Alexander, Forbes replied : "For Killing my girl on this rory spot "Mr. Forbes, if that's your lame.you have the wrong man,' said the negro. "Burn him ; burn him," cried he crowd. "Gentlemen, you have got ots of time," said Alexander. "You are burning an inlocent man. You took ndvan :age of me. You gave mo no ihow. Can I see my mother?" Alexander again asked to see lis mother. She was called for >ut she was not in the crowd. Alexander then said : "Will pen let me shake hands with ill my friendsV "You have no friends in this iro<vd, you damned beast/' said me of the men in charge of the neero. "If von have anything to say, say it in a hurry." Coal oil was then applied for the second titr.e while Alexander railed to acquaintances in th" arowd and said goodhve to them. uSii a CGTTGN ROOT ^r.
