CHIUS EXCITED
' Olmr 700 Tuans Bent on
Lynching a
NEGRO PREACHER EDITOR
the Roverend Darkey Escaped
by Flight.
Di'l'as, Tex., Aug. 13 —After
midnight a mob of 700 mounted
white men appeared at tbe home
of the Rev. E. W. D. Isaac, in
the eastern part of ths city. The
Rev. Mr. Isaac is pastor of the
New Hope Negro Baptist church
and is publisher of the Baptist
Star. Jos Malone, the negro who
several weeks ago assaulted Mrs.
Frederick Stein, a white woman,
75 years old, is to be hanged for
his crime on September 2. The
Baptist Star in its last week’s
issue contained this paragraph :
“Joe Malone, fool like, plead
ed guilty to the assualt of an old
dago woman, and was convicted
to hang. We expect that ’he old
woman deserves some of Joe’s
punishment. ”
This paragraph incensed the
white people, and caused much
con ultation and open threats
Isaac explained that he was out
of town when his paper was
printed, and that he did not
knowhow the paragraph got
into its columns. But this did
not allay the indignation of tbe
white people It was this feeling
that caused the mob to call at
Isaac’s home . They were
informed that he was out of the
city. Then they rode to New
Hope church, a few yards away
from the parsonage, and fired
several hundred shots into the
building, riddling the doors and
windows. The following notice
was posted on the front door of
the church :
•‘First Notice. Don’t wi ’t for
No. 2. Move ! Move ! Mov* ' And
move qmclfly! You and your
kind are not needed in Dallas.
Committee cf Citizens.
“Take warning and save the
community money!”
Reports were telephoned into
the sheriff’s and police depart
ments that the mob was headed
i westward for the county jail to
get Joe Malone and lynch him.
Sheriff Cabell quickly rallied
all his deputies at the jail and
’ asked Chief of Police Cornwell
to send him all his poliee re
serves, which was done. Sheriff
I Cabell also had a wagon load of
rifles and ammunition delivered
at the jail and guarded the in
stitution all night. He sent out
word through the city what a
mob might expect should
a'tack the jail. If the mob in
tended such an attack, it chang
ed its mind and course.
I About 1 o’clock in the morn
. iug several hundred men met in
Turner Hall and denounced the
Rev. Mr. Isaac and Joe Malone,
and indorsed the passing of the
death sentence on the latser.
They also resolved that they
I were law abiding citizens and
dispersed.
