Cokman, the rv-ro murdener of Mr.'.
Laahbrook, wris taken from the offlcirn
by a mob of 1000 mn totay and burn
ed at the atake The mob led by the
huaband of tho negro's victim, dragged
the shrieking criminal through the prin
cipal ntrcexj of Ue town, bound him
to a small tr:, et fire to brtsh heap
ed about hint and atood guard until
he was dead, before the roating be

and hia fUr was U.-rrlbly beaten.
Ail was done thut was possible by
thf sheriff and guard to prvvtn u

of people, IrrewpjcUve of color, t was
usoWms to attempt tu do anything.
The crime for which Coleman wa
burned wia the murder of Mr. Jam-s
I.iatibroik, who had glvw him a home
and food. She was entioed by him to
cntr a 1k1 to soe about some work,
when he knock 1 her down with a club
and assaulted her. The blow did nH
kill her. and Coleman, notwithstanding
her cries for mercy, procured a ra'r
and cut her thruai. At Covington Jail,
where hi was pliod to escape mob
violence, ''.m.m madu a full confes
sion of the crime.
Blue vltrol and cayenne pepper wett
thrown Into Colaman's eyes and his
fat- was mashdd In with a club. Prior;
to being set afire, Coleman said he had
nothing to say. His death was alow
and, writhing In ttrrlbU agony, he
was booted and glared ax by thousands
of people. Many women were preit.
Ills eyes. afUT the pepper and vltrol
wrc thrown into them, were gouged
out, and some say he was horribly mu
tilated. Coleman arrived at Marysvtlle from
Covington this morning under a special
guard to be put on trial. When they
arrived at the courthouse they were
met by a mob of fully 1.000 people,
headed by James Lftrhbrouk, the hus
band of the murdered woman, and who
wept Immediately vp Second street
through the central portion of the
city to a bill, followed by a mob
of fully 5,000 persons.
The mob grubbed Coleman and threw
a rope over his heud Mid took Miii up
above the city. Coleman could be
heard above the ?rtea of the mob plead
ing for his life.
The place of execution bad been se
lected weeks ago In acocrdnjioe with
alt other arranged dotails of the pro
gram, mapped out by tho leaders of the
mob.
The prisoner was dragged to a sap
lin and stropiK-d against the tree, fac
ing the husband of his viotlm. Large
quantities of dry brush and large bits
of wood wera piled around him while
he was praying for a spoody deuth.
Jamex Lashbrjok, tlie husbiuid of the
victim applied the fir match to the
brushwood. A brother of the victim

the prisoners cht:.
A3 the Humes ane his horrors In
cieused. He made a vain effort to
withdraw his limbs from the encroach
In flies and his tyes rolled tn a frenxy
of guttering. The ropes securing him
to the tiw were burned and his body
finally fell forwird on the burning pile.
Even tint'., although it was not certain
whether he was living or dead, the
vengeful purpose of the crowd led them
to use rails and long poiee to push his
body back into the tlamea. At the end
of three hours the body was practically
civmeated.
During all that time members of the
family of Mrs. Laahbrook had remained
to keep up tlu fire aJid to kei?p the body
In a position where it would continue to
burn. In all the thousands who con
stituted the mob th?re wus not a alngle
effort to disguise or roncital identity.
No man wore a mask. All the leaders
of the mob are well known. They in
clude loading ine-u In all lines of bus
iness and many are members of the
church. , I
