The Tlctfm of the mob this time was James Bowens, a twenty-three year old colored man of bad reputation, who was accused of having attempted to rape Miss Lilly Long, a comely white woman of 22 employed at the home of Mr. Hamilton Gelfioeri on the Cemetery read a short distance eoath of Frederick, and -committing a brutal and fiendish assault upon her In his unsuccessful effort to accomplish his purpose. The assault occurred about 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon, shortly after which the negro was arrested, glf eu a prelim! nary heating before Magistrate Edward Hewes at the Mayor's office, committed to jail in default of $300 ball for a further hearing Monday, and at 1 o'clock Sunday morning waa forcibly taken from the jail, hurried out tie Jefferson road and hung to the limb of a Iccust tree In a wheat field ou the east side of the road close where Blggus was lynched in No- yember, 1887. At 9 15 Sunday morning the Messrs.

Schroeder, undertakers, cut the body down, placed It in a plain stained coffin a jury of Inquest, summoned by Acting Coroner Eckstein, viewed It and it was placed in the jail until the afternoon when it was removed to the home of the negro's parents In Locust alley, whence the funeral took place today at 2 p. m. The jury of inquest adjourned until to day, when the Investigation was conducted with closed doors in the grand jury room at the Court House. THE ASSAULT. Story of the FiendUh BrouU Attempt.

James Bowens, the victim of the determined mob who meted ont stern justice yesterday morning, was on a spree Saturday in this city with a number of colored companions. It is said tbat five or six pint bottles of whiskey were bought and consumed by the crowd during the day, and In the afternoon Bowens, Hiram Bowman aud Jno. Tonsil were seen ont on the Cemetery toad. Bowman, it Is claimed, became too full to follow the others and laid down along the road to sleep, when Bowens robbed him of 4 and he and Tonsil went on. What became of Tonsil from this point in the caae Is not known.

Be teems to have disappeared and has not been aeea since. Bowens, however, at or near o'clock appeared at tha farm of Xr. Wm.H. Warner and asked Mr. Warner for something to eat.

Warner told him he had nothing to give him, bat he could prcb- ably get something at Xr. Gelaben's, and pointed to the house. Heaaya that the negro left him and went in the'direction of Geiibert'i, climbing the fence and crowing the field. He wore heavy boots with plates on the heels, light panta, a brown ahlrt, grey coat and brown slouch hat. At the Geiaaert house there was no one home but the servant, Miss Lfllle Long, a modest, quiet, highly respectable young woman who has been working at tbe place some time.

When she came ont he asked her for something to eat. While she was getting It for him he made an Indecent proposal to her and offered her a dollar. She screamed and started to run, when he told her that she needn't run, for if she did he would Kill her. She fled down the lane to seek help, but the negro followed her and caught ber in the space of about a hundred "I am Wilson," he said. He aeized her, and In tbe straggle she thrown to the ground, ber nose striking in the dirt, braising and akin- i nlng It.

She foaght desperately to protect her honor, but tbe undismayed brute, clutching her under the chin, cut ber twice with a pair of nneHeilecU- sors, about six inches long and with one blade as (harp as a razor. One cut was made on the right aloe of her neck an inch and a half in length and another below it four inches and a half long. She is somewhat fleshy and the blade only cut through as far aa the muscular tissues, but a narrow escape was made from severing her jognlar vein. In the straggle her underclotUing was torn off her, but ere she lost irecgth to lotger resist, Roger GeUbetc, who beard her screams, came to her assistance. The negro made ofl on the road toward Frederick.

Miss fiong managed to get to the house, ed and frightened aud bleeding from her wounds. The alarm was at given, and Wm. A. Font, from an adjoining farm, where the neero had aho asked for food, and Ross Oeisbert, immediately eUrted in puTtnlt of the negro. Mr.

Wm. H. Warner, who was also summoned, started ont a different way, throwing a Wlcbester rifle into hit wagon aad determined to gat tbe negro if possible. Measra. Fout and deisbert, wbo were ri-bt track, oaof fat ap with Bow- i i Hill were ltd men atd boys Miyor Yekie wni Cl.y Aitoncy V.

A bandanna handkerchief, tin box, box of cigarettes, a pint bottle of whltkey and some small articles were found ou him.

Even his boots were searched. When again rationed Bow Ban said that it was wasn't Bowens but Tonsil tbat had stolen tbe money. In detach of $300 bail the Magistrate committed them both to jail for a further hearing Monday, Bowman as a witness. Deputy sheriff Crnm and Warden Groff Handcuffed the men together. While they were doing li Bowens grew very Insolent, used abusive language, swore at Wm.

A. Font, said he was not the man who made the assault, that he had not been to Gelsberi's and that they all "had It in for him" because he was a aud they were Democrats. Cries of "Get a Gel a rope" were made by the crowd, but the Magistrate soon slopped that. The negroes were hurried downstairs into a wagon at the door, the crowd breaking into wild cries of "Lynch bin, Gst a rope." A lot of boys followed the wagon down Market Street and many went over to tae Jail. i wee a uttered defiant and abusive orde several times while getting in tbe wagon and afterward.

For some time after the incident at the Mayor's office a strong undercurrent of excitement prevailed among people on the street and in public places, and the one topic of conversation was the assault, details of how severely the young woman had been handled reaching the city.

Dr. Ira J. McGurdy had been gam- moned to attend hex and after he bad dressed her wounds aud returned, greatly exaggerated rnmori of her condition were circulated by excited men and boys At tea o'clock a fight that occurred on the Square corner attracted attention for the time being from the assault, but an hour and a-half later a report was brought in that Mlaa Long had died at 1040. There were then ominous signs ia the air and a small crowd gathered at the cattle scales in Deri's alley. A false alarm of fire jnst before 13 o'clock seemed to be a preliminary signal for the desperate work of the night.

If the lynchers had expected to procure axes and ropes at the United Engine House, as some said, they were deceived, for the doors there were locked and no one was permitted to nnye a thing. Gradually little groups of men began to move toward the jafl from various directions. Singly, by and threes and in larger numbers, they came. Many of these were citizens attracted only ont of curiosity and having no part is the lynching. At half past twelve a crowd moved oat of bain I street, through Mania's alley Into South street.

The voice of one of the men was heard calling on all who meant business to hold up their right hand -and swear. he laid, "we come on an errand of death and we bring death with us." Numerous pistol shots were fired in the air here and there, and the murmur of the mob aa it grew in numbers rose like the swell of the sea, now a wild outburst of human yells, and then a subdued moaning and walling that filled the night with unutterable weirdness. A small group of spectators was gathered on the pavement west of the jaiL They were approached several times by men from the crowd down by alley and asked If they meant business; if so, to come on. Slowly but tnrely the crowd below grew iu numbers and louder arose its murmur. Families In the neighborhood, alarmed from their steep, peered ont ot windows and doors and expressed the wish that they would aot lynch the man right there.

Minute by minute, paaseed; five, ten, fifteen. It was now half- past twelve. The night had passed into the Sabbath morn. Twice tolled the bell on the Catholic clock. The manner from the crowd below--now a illliry yell, now churns of fierce cries or vengsance--nearer and nearer drew.

The dark mau moved forward. A steady onward jog, a wild cry, wilder than any yet, and then a rush of tramping feet; open were dashed tne gates of tbe Jail yard. "This way, come on, come on boysP One, two, ten, twenty, thirty, a hundred of them, through tbe gate, across tbe yard, straight for the door on the west side they moved. On Saint street, before coming around, they had broken Into the blacksmith shop of Robert Fraley and secured several sledges--twelve pounders--hammers aad bars. Many were armed with plstoU.

Only a few wore masks.

Then through tbe other kitchen door aud tney were ia tbe corridor. The lock on the corridor door was broken, tbe hasp waa turned back on its binges. A few feet away, to the first cell, waa the doomed man. As he saw the desperate men he cowered and cried. A blow of the sledge and the cell lock fell shattered.

fhe man was theirs! With nothing on lu 1 underclothes and stockings he was alered aad brought It is said some one fired a shot ibt hit him in the leg, but that further shooting was forbidden. Others say tbe shot was fired tn the corridor before the cell was reached. All tbe prisoners were locked up in their cells and probably crouching ia the corners dumb with fear. Croicbley, the man who assaulted two little girls at Knoxville, and Robinson, the negro wbo assaulted a negro girl at Uibana, were among them and may have thought the mob would wreak vengeance on them. too.

Bowens waa leu out iLil was not the man. While the men were wlthlu those ou the outside bad iowerec the electric light in front of tbe jail yard extinguished it and cut the rope off. Tbe rope was passed to the men within who wanted it. "Here he comes, they have him." The crowd was again wild with excitement. The negro Is said to have told those who held him to hurry up.

Outside the gate he declared he was not the man, tbat he hid been lu jail three weekj. "Strike i match some one," a man shouted. "Here you men that know Bowens, is this him? 1 "Yes, that's Jim Bowens," a voice replied. "All right, go ahead!" The crowd gave a mighty whoop. Many closed in around the negro.

On moved toward the Jtffarson road. The pace waa that of a dog trot until the road was reached, and then a walk. Many in the crowd fired pistols in the air. But the men grew more orderly and sedate There was no sympathy for Bowens, but there was no tendency to brutslity. The men seemed to have constituted them selves a band to mete ont justice and wanted to do It with all the decorum possible under such circumstances.

There was some hesitation at first as to where to hang him. One place thought of was deemed too close to the houses. Down the road the throng moved, spec tators In the rear. A telegraph pole with a low cross arm was sighted on the left and suggested as a good place. The men In the lead moved ou.

A few steps farther and they were at the field, no sown In wheat, on the Kennedy Butler farm and across from bis house. A'locuEt tree, funding leafless and ghostly along the Boaih fence, was the chosen spot. The mob scaled the rails. In a moment they were gathered about the tree. Spectators and all, tiers were fully three hundred present.

A man with a sturdy voice started to talk to Bowens. He told him that they had brought him there lo die. That last hour on earth had come and if be had anything to say he should say it quick. Ail the crowd teemed to want to talk at once and it was several minutes before quiet reigned. "We want you to confess, Bowens." Said the man.

"Do not die with a lie on your lips, you have got to go anyhow, so tell the truth and be done with It" In a voice that was very husky and weak Bowens answered: "Indeed I dld'nt do it, I'm not the man." He would say no more. The crowd still urged him to confess, telling him that he would have to hang anyway so he'd better tell the truth. Just then Capt. Eugene Mott and Lieut. Wat Anthem, of the Salvation army, made their way through the throng and asked if they would be allowed to pray with the man.

In front of the ill one of them had begged the men not to do what they were about to do. He was rebuffed. But they did not refuse him permission to pray. Tbe mob uncovered. The man's prayer was an earnest, pitiful appeal tu Al- migthy God for oa the doomed man's soul.

He prayed that he might be forgiven for hia crime, that his heart might be opened to salvation and that his soul might be saved. Then the other prayed earnettlyfor mercy on tbe wretch, aad in conclusion, with stillness everywhere, beneath the stars that looked down from above, amid tbat wierd aad tragic scene, arose the words of the Lord's prayer. Bowens repeated them after the speaker. Others joined their voices In pronouncing the wonderful plea. At the end preparations for the execution were begun.

But still another man had aomethiog to say. He clearly and forcibly. He appealed to the crowd to believe him that they were gathered there not In a spirit of malice toward the colored race, but to set an example for the protection of homes and firesides and to teach the lesson that the women and children of Frederick cooaiy mut be saved from the fear of assault. "I want everybody to understand," he said, "that this is the spirit In which we are here with this unfortunate wretch tonight, and that we must stand united in this purpose." The final scene In the tragedy of the night waa then enacted. The rope was brought and fastened by a strong noose around the negro's neck.

His hands were tied behind him, first with shoestrings and then with a piece of rope. "Yes, tie his hands," said some one, "Don't let him suffer any more than neceibary." Hit feet were not tied. Some one scaled the tree, threw the free end of the rope over the limb and climbed down. It found to be wrong, ssid t.aiss i'. man climbed np.

From the pulnlis of several of tbe churches ian night reference was mide to tbe deed in the pray- ere, and morning before bh sermon at tbe Lutheran Church hare tbe llev. H.

No dcubt some of the mob thought they were acting the part ot a rough justice.

Yes, the justice of a Zulu tribe, not the justice of civil liberty and American courts. But this is a caution, a warning to oar judges, attorneys and constabulaty and citizenship. We must hasten our trials. Are onr judges so dlllatorj? Are our lawyers so sophistical? Are onr jurors so timid? Are our prosecuting attorneys so in different! Ara our jails so Are our constabulary so In sympathy with mob violence? Are our citlxeas so careless In their speech as to give encouragement to such a caricature of law and ordei? A mob is citizenship in anarchy. Let no young man bete think he did justice or womanhood a service in the lynching of that black.

Let him rather thank God that the murder does not reit upon his hands or heart." The ministers of the colored churches denounced the lynching last night, but the members of the race here declare that while they do not uphold the mob they think Boirena' deed deserved severe punishment. Many sympuhlz3 with the father of the negro, who Is a sober, Industrious, well-behaved man. THE LYKCH1H6. on Via- Itora to tbe Spot, Few people in Frederick knew of the lynching of Bo wens until Sunday morn Ing dawned, but the news soon spread acd hundreds of men, women aad children flocked to the scene of the extent ion and viewed with morbid curiosity every feature connected, with the caae. The locust tree from which the negro hung, one stocking off; the jail, every place the mob had been the people thronged, and they kept tt up until late in the evening.

At 9 16 o'clock the Hewn. Schroeder, undertaken, cat the body down, placed It in its coffin and took it to the jail, where it waa placed just inside grated corridor door on tbe west side, so that the people could view It. Many colored people were among tha visitors. Warden Groff was busy all day showing visitors about, letting them look at the five broken locks, and answering the questions of the curious. The jury of Inquest summoned by Acting Coroner C.

H. Kcksletn after viewing the body adjourned to meet again at 3 p. but at tbat hour decided to postpone their Investigation till while in the meantime the body was removed to the baaement corridor and an autopsy performed by Ore. F. B.

Smith and Ira J. McCnrdy. They concluded that death had retailed 'tarn strangulation. They found an abrasion on the right side of the head that might hare been caused by a bullet graz- ng the a bruise on the left side of lie head, probably caused by a blow a hammer, but there was ao ballet wound that coold have cwsed death. In be ereninff tbe body of Bowens was aken to the hoiue of his father, oimon Bjwens, In Locust alley, where many members of their race called to condole with the parents of the unfortunate wretch.

The funeral of the mob's vicUm odsy at 2 o'clock was In charge of Hessrs. A. T. Rice coca, and interment was made in the colored graveyard. A large crowd attended It.

Tbe members of tbe coroner's jury are: T. H. Delaahmutt, foreman; Robert T. )anner, George W. Plunkard, Reuben Hann, Cyrus A.

THK VBRDICT. Shortly after one o'clock this afternoon the jury, which hei'd the estimony of a number of witnesses, acd deliberated for some time, brought a verdict to tbe effect that: "James Bowens came to bn death on the night of November 16, 1895, In Frederick county, of strangulation, at the bands of parties unknown tolhtajBty." in front IVs IT twelre aomc sure Co after uf tbtx tbe Bitrct aad occe aioro ot KnsJrrtcli Cjiu, Qfiein ti fo'e u'cL-ck cmie Patrick fclrtel ijattvl Ibe Corner, and Jim before tetchlSK 'be cur becal'ed jut la a clear "Cjme oa ILe ctovi tsorcJ toe- it reel and wont down South Market The men teemed determined lo carry oui ihelr plan, bat It plain lo tto that them was no one there wlliia 10 aMume tbe cf acting at a leader, tn the crowd, bow ever, secmm! to tbe necessary courage, aud they urged tbe on at varltmi placea along tho route.
