for they were seen by the thousands
who witnessed the affair. It Is also
known that the arrangements for the
lynching were talked of In advance,
and that men were invited to partici
pate and given notice of when snd
where to assemble. It was this fact
I contortions were terrible but he made \ wai allotted three hours for final argu-
m» sound. Suddenly the rope
legs parted and he sprang from the fire
and started to run. A man struck him
In the head with a piece of fence rail
and knocked him down. Willing hands
threw him again Into the flames. He
rolled out several times, but
th.t gave publicity to the lynching, promptly returned. While this wns go-
for the news that it was to occur last
night was circulated about Wirmlng-
ton yesterday, with the result that the
thousands who went out last night did
so with the knowledge that the affair
would come oft according'to arrange
ments. 1
It is a fact that public sentiment so
generally approves the lynching that
it would be hard to secure the convic
tion of a lyncher even If arrests are
made, which seems doubtful.
During the day thousands of persons
went to the scene of the lynching,
many of them Intent upon securing
ghastly relics. In this, however, they
met with little succese, as the burning
had been so effectual as to destroy
almost every vestige of the victim's
body. The only remains were pieces
of his bones.
Nothing could abate the people's ar
dor. and all day there was a constant
stream of people traveling about fho |
road.
Judge Grubb, of the county court,
today made a public statement In which
he deplores the lynching of White and
Its consequent reflection upon the good
name of Delaware. Judge Grubb also
explained the action of the court In re-!
fusing to call a special session of the
grand jury for the Indictment of Miss
Rlshop's murderer. He says the trial
would have been attended by such pub
lic clamor and prejudice that a fair
trial would have been impossible and
the court would have be< n compelled to
• grant the motion of the prisoner's coun
sel for a change of venue. Once the
prisoner was moved to the Insecure jail
of Kent county or Sussex «^>unty he
might have escaped.
At the county workhouse today
everything was quiet. Warden Meserve
with his guards were on duty snd had
hundreds of callers, to whom they re
fused admittance. The Marge double
doors at the main entrance have been
carried away and not a vestige re
mains.

WILMINGTON. Del., June 21—Tho
excitement attending the gruesome
tragedy enacted last night outside the
city limits when George White, the ne
gro murderer of 17-year-old Helen 8.
Bishop, was burned at the stake, has
subsided.
Public sentiment nppears to deplore
the resort to mob violence, but the con
sensus of opinion Is that summary ven
geance alone could atone for the brutal
outrage upon the life and honor of the
young girl. It Is generally believed
that had the courts brought the mur
derer to speedy trial last night’s trag
edy would have been averted.
It is not known as yet what course

STORY OF I.YXmiXO.
WILMINGTON. June 23.-WhU*s
confession, made just before the torch
was applied to the pile of oll-aoaked
bushes around him, wns an admlrston
of everything and more than that had
been'charged against him. He is stat
ed to have said:
"I was sens by Mr. Woodward to the
cornfield to try some corn. I saw Mr.
Woodward’s daughter but a couple of
men came along in s wagon and I did
not disturb lj*r. Then I saw the Bish
op girl and I followed her. I seised
snd asked her If *h& had Any money
rhe would rive me to let her go. She
gave me sixty cents. Then I again
s-lxcd her and she cried: 'Please don't
hurt me.’
"I choked her. Theh I asked her If
she wss going to tell on me. She said
she waa I gave her a hack in the
throat with my knife and asked again
If she was going to Inform on me. She
sifd she was snd then I cut her throat
twice again and left her. After that 1
went back to Mr. Woodward and told
him there was no good water to drink
'down there and he sent me somewhere
else. I went back once but soon left.
Then I went beck to the house and
p it on a white hat Instead of the cap
that I wore. You would not do this If
I wss a white man and did that."
The leader was s man who said his
name was Baker, and that he
from Virginia. His face was familiar
to most of the people snd It ts believ
ed he Is a resident of Wilmington, al
though some say h» hid t*“>n imported
ter the purpose of lesdldg the mob.
The police denartment was advised
during the day of the contemplated at
tack and thirty policemen In charge of
Chief Black and Captains ^ Evans and
Kane weat to th* work house. There
were several thousand persona at the
prlcon at that tfme and the officer*
were powerless against such large
numbers so they entered the building
to assist the guards In an effort to
protect the prisoner. The leaders of
tb' mob were cool and determined.
Warden MeseMre told them White was
in cell 13 In the third story*fn order
to prevent unnecessary destruction of
property. He told the leaders how to

opened for the complainant.
Mr. Untermeyer declared that ho would
show the court that the corporation was
Insolvent. It was "conceived In Iniquity,
maintained by fraud, and Is ending in
crime." he said. The facts, counsel said,
made out an overwhelming case, warrant
ing the appointment of a receiver. As
an alternative plan Mr. Untermeyer de
clared If the Insolvency wss not shown to
fhe satisfaction of the court the complain
ants would claim that the plan of reor
ganization was a definite plan to wreck
the corporation and that the Complain-
anta hnd the equitable right to have tho
court Interfere to preserve their holdings.
Mr. Untermeyer maintained the direc
tors purposely m’slnformed the listing com
mittee of the New York stock exchange
by presenting the official statement of
the corporation’s affairs so tnat the bonds
could be sold to the public.
Taking up the purchase by Charles M.
Schwab, of the Bethlehem Steel Company,
and the subsequent execution of (he $10.-
ooo.ooo mortgage as a collateral guaranty
hts sale and transfer of that property
to the defendant corporation, Mr. Unter-
meyer declared that It was as picturesque
a proceeding as any of those made by the
directors of the Sixth National Bank, who
bought and aold the stock of their own
corporation.
Concluding. Mr. .Untermeyer declared a
yenr ago the company .issertod It hnd
cssh assets of 110.000.0(0. but by a series
or brilliant exploits without parallel In
the realms of higher finance, the treasur
er wag forced to state that by reason of
of this money for the purchase
of plants and subsidiary corporations, tho
company" was now unab:© to. pay maturing
fixed charges, due August 1, of $9U.Cm
snd 1421.000 additional 11n1111!•
outstanding notes and accounts. By it
own admissions, Mr. Untermeyer declared
the defendant bad proved tuo Insolvency
charged.
Chas. L. Corbin for the defendants ar
gued that the complainant* had no
shown the company to be Insolvent. Th
application ought to be dismissed /»r that

COLUMBIA. S. C., June 23.—The sec
ond day of the hearing for a change
of venue in the care of James II. Till
man, Indicted for murder, ended with
the nrgument only fairly begun.
This morning the prosecution pre
sented additional affidavits alleging
that a fnir trial can be had In -this
county, these affidavits being similar
to those presented yesterday. The affi
davits for the prosoAitlon number four
hundred or more. Then tho defense In
troduced a number In reply, the whole
number of affidavits on both sides be
ing about seven hundred and fifty.
The defendant’s attorney read numer*
ous articles printed in the 8tate relat
lng to the killing of that pnper’s editor,
these being for tho most part messages
of sympathy nnd appreciative tributes
to Mr. N. O. Console*.’ Prayer* offered
for Mr. Gonzales' recovery by the Co
lumbia minister* the Sunday before he
died were also read as evidence that the
preachers ns well ns the press had en
deavored to stir up feeling against th-
defendant.
The defense desired to Introduce
some of Mr. Gonzales' editorials de
nouncing Lleutennnt-Govemor Tillman
last year, but Judge Townsend ruled
that these were not competent nnd they
excluded.
The argument wns begun at 5 o'clock
this afternoon by George it. Johnstone
for the defense. Col. Johnstone Is ono
of the most eloquent nnd resourceful
lawyers of the state nnd he spoke for
over an hour, criticising snd comment
ing on certain of thi 'prosecution's
davits.
Court adjourned at the conclusion of
his speech to meet at 9 o'clock tomor*
row morning, when Andrew Crawford
will open for the prosecution.
There will be live hours' argument
tomorrow nnd a decision may be given
In the afternoon.
The defendant was In court through
