EXCITEMENT SUBSIDES.
Burning at Forrest City is Regretted
by Best People of Town-Further
Proof of Victim’s Guilt.
Forrest City, Oct., 21. The charred
remains of I log, who was
burned at the stake by a mob last
night, were buried by the authorities
this ntorning Young’s body wasonly
partly consumed by the flame*.
Additional proof that Young mur
dered Mr* Ed Lewis was forthcoming
r today The wife of Young says he
came home about the time of the mur
der, excited and with his clothes
bloody. Young’s protestations of in
nocence and his declaration that
Henry Armstrong committed the
murder have been effectually set at
rest.
Sheriff Williams did all within his
power to prevent mob violence. He
spent several hours with the friends
of the murdered woman yesterday
evening and prevailed on them to let
the law take its course. After the
preliminary trial of Y oung the sheriff
read a telegram from Circuit Judge
Hutton st itmg that he would hold a
special term of court here to take up
the Y'oung case as soon as court at
Marianna adjourned. Everything
seemed quiet until s o’clock last night,
when some turbulent spirits from an
other part of the county came In and
influenced an uprising sufficient to
carry out the burning program.
After the mob had entered the jail
and taken forcible possession of
Young, they hustled him to a tele
graph pole in the center of town, and
were fixing to burn him when City
Marshal W. W. Raiubolt went into the
mob and orevailed noon the crowd
not to attempt such a deed inside of
the corporation. The mob then took
the trembling wretch and carried him
about half a mile east of the town near
the stave factory, and there chained
him to a tree and proceeded to burn
him. When the tire began to burn
his writhings and groans were inde
scribable. He tried to implicate an
other negro who was at wori; on a
bridge with one of Forrest City 's host
citizens all of the day that Mrs. Lewis
was assaulted and murdered.
Very few of Forrest City s citizens
witnessed the awful sight and none of
them participated in it.
Forrest City has resumed i: usual
quietude. The best people • the eit>
regret that good counsel did not pre
vail and that the promise of a speeds
trial did not restrain the mob.
