Black Fiend Meets Horrible
Fate At Hands Of Infur
iated Citizens In Texas
Town,
(United Press Telegraph-Cable Service.)
ROCKWELL, Texas. March S. ? An armed mob of
more thau one thousand citizens marched in a body to the
county jail last night, forced the sheriff to deliver to them
Anderson Ellis, a negro, and after he had been identified
as the assaulter of Mrs. McKinney, the negro was burned
to the stake.
The crime took place Saturday night. Ellis was ar
rested after an armed posse had secured the country. He
was identified and taken to jail.
Karly Sunday afternoon the indignant citizens of Rock
well commenced gathering about the village common and
early in the evening, after several speeches had been made,
the crowd started for the Jjail. Many of the men were
armed. The sheriff saw that he would have no chance t.?
resist and surrendered the prisoner.
The throng then marched to Mrs. McKinney 's home.
She positively identified Ellis. He was then taken and
lashed to a stake, oil soaked wood was thrown about him
and the tire was started.
The negro shrieked piteously for mercy as the lire
crept about him, but there was not a person in Hie crowd
who suggested any mercy. When the negro was dead tin
crowd dispersed.
