Carey Whitfield on Angnat 19th last Before the torch waa applied Clark stated that be deserved hia fearful, . fate. Last Angnat Mrs. Whitfield, the wife-o- f a citizen, waa found dead at her home. Investigation ihowed that the woman had been as- lanlted and her head practically severed from her body with a razor. Both Whitfield and hia wife were related to several of the most prominent families In the south, and the indignation of the people knew no bounds. Corinth and tht surrounding country waa scoured in an effort to apprehend the murderer, hut dilligent earch failed to disclose his identity. Finally a committee of twelve citizens waa called to continna tbe search. On Tuesday last it became known that Tom Clark, a negro living near Corinth, had had trouble with hia wife,, and the latter threatened to disclose the secret rf the crime. Officer ap-prebended the woman, and ahe told enough to warrant the belief that well-kno- wn . Clark had murdered Mrs, Whitfield. Clark waa arrested and brought before ' the committee. The negro confessed to the murder and also to other crimes he had committed, among them tbe killing of two men on an excursion train in Mississippi. The committee decided that the negro should be hanged from a telegraph pole in the street, but later it was decided to burn him at the stake. The prisoner, heavily manacled, waa taken from the jail by a posse of armed men and, followed by a large and crowd of men and boys, led to the last gate of the negro cemetery, situated in the western part of the eity. Fagots and wood had been piled high around the stake and the negro waa eenrely fastened to an iron rod. Clark was asked if he cared to make a statement He again said that he deserved the fate prepared for him and and asked that a letter be delivered to hia mother and brother. lie appealed to hia brother to raise hia children properly, admonishing them to beware of evil companions. Finally all waa in readiness, and the word waa given to fire the funeral pyre. The husband and brother of Clark'a victim stepped forward and applied the torches and in a moment the flames leaped upward, enveloping the trembling negro in smoke and fire. The clothing of the doomed man waa soon ignited, and aa the flames grew hotter the skin began to parch. The negro moaned piteously, and the agonizing look upon hia face told of the awful torture he waa undergoing. Finally hia head fell forward upon hia breast, and in a few minutes all waa over. ' The flames were fanned by the crowd until the body waa burned to a crisp. The crowd then dispersed and the town soon assumed its normal condi. ex-sit- ed tion. Tension Roll Nearing 1,000,000 Mnrk.
