NEGRO BRUTE IS
RANGED BY MOB
Before Life Is Extinct the Body
Is Thrown on Pile of
Burning Logs.
CONFESSES HIS CRIME
When Taken Before Indian Territory
Girl of 16 He Had Assaulted,
Identification Is Quick
and Positive.
CHICASHA, I. T., July 1. A negro who
committed a criminal assault upon the
16-year-old daughter of Ira Robertson,
near Womack, was captured last night
and after being taken back to the scene
of his crime was hanged and burned near
the spot where he committed the assault.
He confessed his crime and offered no
resistance to the mob. To one person the
negro gave his name as OllCt Mays, of
Marshall, Texas, and he told another that
It was U ul Newbright, of San Antonio.
By the time the negro was overtaken
near Bradley last night fully 400 men had
Joined In the chase and soon after the
capture the march to Womack began.
It was nearly 3 o'clock this morning when
the Robertson home was reached and the
negro was brought before the assaulted
girl.
"That's the one." said she at once, and
the negro replied: "Yes, lady, I'm the
one. Gentlemen, I admit the crime."
The mob then proceeded with their vic
tim past the spot where he had com
mitted the crime and to a tree in the
road on the bank of the Walnut Creek,
where a rope was thrown over a limb
about 18 feet high and the other end
knotted about the man's neck. He was
given an opportunity to speak, and again
he confessed his guilt, and after a fer
vent prayer to God for forgiveness he
was drawn Into the air to die by strangu
lation. Before life was extinct the body was
lowered to the ground, logs and brush
were heaped upon It and the mass ig
nited. For a moment the body writhed,
a few groans were heard and the flames
completed their work. Two hours later
the charred body was burled under the
same tree under the direction of a Deputy
Marshal from Purcell, who had been
thwarted In his effort to take the negro
from the mob.
Miss Robertson's condition is not
serious.
ENGLISH TRAIN OFF TRACK
(Continued From Page 1.)
other passenger who came to I-ondon.
Beyond the shock he is uninjured. Mr.
Bcllall said he was in the forward car
riage, having. In common with other pas
sengers, just finished a late supper. He
heard a loud crash, and the next moment
found himself sprawling on the ground.
The front part oT the car was completely
smashed and the coach fell over on its
Bide. The part in which he was ran
along the rails past the engine, which
had been stopped by colliding with an
other engine on a sidetrack, and then
turned over on its side.
Mr. Bollatl immediately started to as
sist the other passengers and remained
at the scene until morning, but was un
able to do much for those who had been
burled In the wreckage until railway
hands arrived, when the injured were
quickly relieved. Mr. Bellatl's escape was
miraculous, as the part of the car in
which he was riding was broken into
kindlings.
The death of Frederick H. Cossitt, of
New York, was perhaps the most pathetic
feature of the disaster. He and his bride,
who is the daughter of ex-Judge Dugro,
of New York, were on their wedding tour,
and, after visiting the principal points of
Interest in Kurope, expected to return to
New York in October. They traveled In
company with friends, who, on the arrival
of the New York at Plymouth, did their
best to persuade the young couple not to
leave the ship at such a late hour, but to
proceed to Southampton. Mr. Cossitt, be
ing a bad sailor, insisted on landing. Mrs.
Cossitt arrived in London tonight and is
staying with friends in Park Lane.
KIMED ON HIS WEDDING TRIP
Frederick Cossritt Was Married June
28 in New York.
NEW YORK. July 1. Frederick Henry
Cossitt, who was killed In the wreck of
the American Line express at Salisbury,
Kngland. today, was a nephew of Mrs.
George Eggleston Dodge and of Mrs. L.
Ti. Julilard. of this city. He married
Miss Antonla Dugro, daughter of Judge
and Mrs. P. Henry Dugro, of New York.
June 36, and the young couple were on
their wedding trip. They had planned to
spend the entire Summer in traveling in
Europe, and Judge and Mrs. Dugro were
to sail for Europe next Tuesday to join
them.
The wedding of Mr. Cossitt and Miss
Dugro was a social event of prominence
and was made unique by college songs
sung by friends of the bridegroom, Vbo
was graduated from Princeton University
only a week before the marriage. The
death of Mr. Cossitt today has a pecu
liar significance in that he was the second
person present at his wedding to loss his
life in the two sensational tragedies of
the past week. Stanford White, who was
shot to death by Harry K. Thaw in the
Madison-Square Roof Garden Theater
last Monday night, was one of the guests
at the wedding.

passenger on the promenade deck was
seen to fall with hysterical sobs, holding
a telegram in her hands.
Instantly fellow-passengers flocked
around to offer sympathy in a sup
posed personal bereavement and learned
with horror-blanched faces the terrible
fate that had overtaken their companions
on the voyage from New York and whom
they had expected to meet In London.
The news soon spread over the whole ship
and cast a gloom on the landing and en
training for London of the passengers,
though the officials were only able to
supply the barest outlines of the disaster.
American Consul Swain, addressing the
passengers, said: "You had no oppor
tunity of going to church this morning,
but you can thank God you are aboard."
