of his choice for speaker—and the

would be put on record, was tabled—

Cooper, Texas.—The negro, Henry

about one week ago and who was tried
in the district court here Friday, was
seized by a mob of more than 1,000
citizens and hanged to a telephone pole
on the public square. The little girl
was shot while on her way home from
school with her brother, and it was
thought at first to have been an acci-
dent.
The negro made a written confession
of the crime, in which confession he
admitted that he did not intend to
shoot the girl, but shot at the brother,
intending to kill him and then after
abusing the girl to then take her life
also. By an unexepected movement
of the brother of the girl just as the
gun fired he was only slightly wound-
ed and the girl was killed outright.
The sheriff pleaded with the crowd
to spare the negro’s life and justice
would be shown and for them to let
the trial proceed. The men finally
agreed to this and the negro was tried
and given the death penalty in just
a few minutes, and it was then the
crowd became so angry and demanded
execution at once. The jury room
door was battered -to. the officers ov-
erpowered and rope placed around the
negro’s neck and was Ragged and led
