In Attempting to 31ake a Coupling
Hariaud Johns Is Killed.
Jacksonville, FTa., Aug. 27.—Har
laud H. Johns, a car inspector of the
Florida East Coast railway, was killed
by being caught between the engine
tender and mail car which he was at
tempting to couple.
The accident occurred just at the east
entrance of the union depot. The train
for St. Augustine was being made np,
and the coaches being lined up on the
track, the engine was backed up to con
nect with the mail car. Mr. Johns un
dertook to do the coupling himself, the
car inspectors nsnaily performing this
task, and in some way he allowed his
body to get in between the buffers,
which caused his instantaneous death.
The engineer immediately seeing that
something was wrong, turned the lever
at once, while the fireman jumped off
aud hurried to the assistance of the in
jured man, who had fallen lengthwise
beside the track, the body twitching
slightly before death ensued.
Mr. Johns was a member of Pioneer

No sooner had their appeals been

from the neighborhood where the erime
was committed came np and augmented
the crowd to thousands. They sweDt
forward upon the jail, overpowering the
sheriff and his deputies, secured the
prisoner and started for the scene of the
crime, 12 miles distant.
The mob was orderly, but grimly de
termined. Arriving at a point in sight
of the scene of the crime the negro was
placed upon a stamp and given a chance
o make a statement.
He mounted the stumD stolidly and
aughed as he began his statement. He
said:
“Teil all my sisters and brothers to
meet me in giory. I am going to make
that my home. Tell my mother to meet
me where parting will be no more.”
Why did von kill Mrs. Williams?”
was asked.
“I just acne that because I had noth-
g else to do.”
He was then taken from the stump,
carried to a tree near by, bound to it by
chains and his body satuated with oil;
match was applied, and instantly the
quivering body was enveloped in flames.
Rails were pitched about the burning
body, and soon life was extinct. The ne
gro made no outcry at any time, and
died as stolidly as a stoic.
