ROPE AROUND HI8 NECK. Mob Relented, However, and Whip ped the Boy Instead. New Orleans, Oct. 9—To escape lynching, a 12-year-old negro boy, known as Jessie James, was brought here tonight from Amite, La., and placed In the Parish prison. The boy waa accused of attempted assault upon a 4-year-old white girl, and It was necessary for the sheriff at ▲mite to take him secretly aboard a train today to escape the lynchers. This waa the boy’s second escape from lynching. Immediately after the crime he was dragged Into the woods by the friends of the family of the outraged child and a rope had been placed about his neck. On account of his youth, how ever, he waa whipped Instead of hanged. Dr. Harris Is himself disposed to sefcarge tho common house fly with re- aronslbllity for tho prevalence of most climatic or slow fevers that occur Airing tho summor months in many ■rortfams of the south. He thinks that If every house could be properly ■evened slow fevers would disappear. He Is positive that there would be mu more malarial fever.
