Besides having been poisoned, one hind leg had been doubled back and a rope tied about it. The animal showed signs of having been dragged some distance, it is said. Gappy, the playmate of the children at the Spencer home, was raised by the family and was more than six year's old.

He was a very handsome animal, with a bright black, curly coat, was gentle and lovable and a favorite with every one who came to the Spencer home. He was wont to accompany Dr. Spencer to his office and then return to the house, and was never known to molest any one. Neighbors report having seen some man attempt "to call the dog one day recently, but this report has not been investigated.

(IP) to the roof of the Garrett rural school in which he was alleged to have assaulted and murdered Miss Velma Colter, 19-year-old teacher, Raymond Gunn, Negro, was burned to death by a mob which made a funeral pyre of the building today. Gunn was marched into the school house and to the spot where the body of the young teacher was discovered. Those of the throng about him who were closest said the negro confessed his guilt.

He was then taken to the roof of the building. He was placed across the ridge-pole. Holes were chopped in the roof and gasoline poured over the floors and on the walls. A member of the mob applied a match. Gunn was calm throughout.

Those close to him said he was not injured during the march to the school, although his clothing was stripped to waist. At least 2,000 persons stood around the small school building. Face down across the ridge pole, Gunn pushed himself up and waved at the crowd, which contained hundreds of women. Then he sank against the roof. One long, piercing shriek a'rose above the crackJing of the flames as they played about his head.
