He then followed the parade and his horse ran against Mrs. Gourney, a who was walking on the crossing fronting Max Levit's hat store. An electric car was passing and this prevented the woman from seeing the horse and the horseman from seeing her. McIntyre regrets the incident keenly, and expressed sympathy for the woman and her baby.

THE RIOTS IN WILMINGTON Negroes Resent Attacks on Them Since Lynching of White- Governor Hunn Interviewed. Wilmington, June riot birche out between on the whites streets here and late negroes last which for time assumed serious proportions. arrival of a squad of "The police, however, quickly dispersed the: participants. Two arrests were made: do probably large gang 200, of who had negroes, been numbering marching, up and down Ninth street, lenged by about 25 white men, and in the battle that followed over 100 shots: were exchanged.

A squad of policemen, under Captain Evans and Sergeant McDermott, rushed to the scene and charged upon the mob. The negroes and whites scattered and fled in all directions, but the police succeeded in capturing two negroes, Leander Moore and Joseph Shockley. The policemen used their clubs freely, and in the melee attendant upon the arrests McDermott and Patrolman Green received slight wounds. One negro, James Mercer, was shot in the head during the riot, but his wound is not believed to be serious. In a brawl in another part of the city William Cramer, a negro, was shot in the stomach by a white man.

He was taken to a hospital in a serious condition. The leaders of the party of negroes who were marching on Ninth street declared that they intended to resent the attacks made upon members of their race. They say they have been badly abused and that they do not intend to quietly submit to such abuse. They say they have no sympathy for George White, the negro who was lynched, but that on the contrary most of their race in and about Wilmington approve of his lynching. The situation in this city was SO serious that Governor Hunn deemed it best to call meeting of the judiciary to canvass situation.

A two-hour them conference was held at the court house, but what was discussed and what plans, if any, were decided upon was not made public. In an interview Governor Hunn said: "After hearing of the mob's work in forcing the release of a prisoner, I felt that I could not stand bek any longer. The fair name of Delaware has been dragged in the mire. It was no ordinary mob that lynched the man who murdered Miss Bishop. The crowd seems to have been composed of good citizens.

The effect of their work has been disastrous. The law must now be sustained at any cost. I have not yet decided whether or not troops will be called out. I trust that will not be necessary, but the whole power of the state will be used to protect its officers in the discharge of their duties." Coroner McCormick and his deputy, Kilmer, are busily engaged in preparing for the inquest on the Italian boy who died as a result of a bullet wound received a the work house on the night of the lynching. The coroner's greatest difficulty i is in obtaining witnesses who saw the shooting.

The officials are still in as to whether the was shot by some one in the mob or one of the guards. Referring to the fact that George White previously had a criminal record of over four years in a Pennsylvania state penitentiary for criminal assault, the Rev. Dr. E. A.

Bishop, father of the murdered girl. authorized the following statement: "I notice that Philadelphia newsholds up its hands in horror paper and says that such a deed as this (the lynching) would not have happened in Pennsylvania. They should remember that if White had received the same treatment in Pennsylvania for his first offense of this kind as he would have received under Delaware (hanging) he would never have lived to commit the second offense." Five of Mr. Bishop's cows were poisoned by some one unknown at present. It is believed that negroes living in the neighborhood, in a spirit of revenge for White's death, may have ventured to commit the deed.
