Arrest Witness in
Lynching Probe.
Youth Accused of Perjury Before Grand
Jury.
Parker Foos, seventeen years old,
one of the witnesses summoned before
the grand jury at West Chester, Pa,
investigating the lynching of Zack
Walker, in Coatesviile, on Aug. 13,
was arrested soon after he had given
his testimony. The warrant charged
him with perjury.
Foos is a teststamper in the Worth
mill. He was arrested by Andrew
Wright, a special policeman of the
Philadelphia & Reading railway.
He was admitted to bail before Jus-
tice of the Peace Paxson. The sum
was fixed at $300. The specific charge
on the perjury warrant is “swearing
falsely before the grand jury.”
Richard D. Gibboney, a member of
the Coatesville council, was summon-
ed before the probers, but was exam-
ined for a short space of time only.
Leon Lipkin, David Wright and W. L.
W. Jones were other witnesses called.
Foos had been called before the
grand jury. Oliver Crompton, colored,
employed in the same mill as Foos,
was called into the jury room, and
while he was there Foos was again
summoned. The boy was sent outside
and recalled no less than three times.
Finally the district attorney came
out into the corridor and beckoning to
Foos asked him his full name. “Parker
Foos” was the answer. Gawthrop then
called Wright and despatched him to
a magistrate’'s office for a warrant.
While Foos sat in the corridor await-
ing the officer's return he was visibly
worried.
“] don't know whether they have
gotten a warrant for me or not,” he
said. “They told me inside that I had
told Crompton how the lynching oc-
curred, and Crompton also said 1 had.
I did tell Crompton about it, but it
was simply what somebody else had
told me. I got to the scene of the
lynching after Walker was dead.
“] didn't tell Crompton that some-
body had old me first, however, and
the grand jury evidently thought I was
lying when I explained the circum-
stances.”
Additional witnesses were called be-
fore the grand jury, amcng them be-
ing four women—the superintendent
of the Coatesville hospital, a nurse, a
cook at the hospital and a telephone
operator.
The summoning of Miss Bessie Eby,
of Parkesburg, the telephone operator,
carries out the belief that the inquiry
is drawing closer around Chief of Po-
lice Umstead. It is understood that
Miss Eby was on duty at the Coates-
ville exchange upon the night of the
lynching, and that she overheard a,
conversation between somebody at the
hospital and Umstead, asking for po-
lice protection from the mob, which at
that time surrounded the building.
For some time there have been
vague rumors that a telephone oper-
ator had overheard a conversation of
this sort, but it could not be placed as
more than a rumor. The arrival of
Miss Eby would tend to establish the
report as a fact. In no other way could
a telephone operator on duty when
Walker was burned to death be ac-
quainted with any facts of value to the
probers.
Miss Eby, with Miss Townsend, the
superintendent of the hospital; Miss
McMenamin, a nurse, and Mrs. Sheri-
dan, at that time a cook in the hos-
pital employ, arrived from Coatesville
on a trolley car and at once went to
the court house, where they awaited
the hoard of inquiry.
Whether Miss Townsend, the first
witness, could give the grand jury any
names of those in the mob is not
known, but her examination consumed
fully a half hour.
Following Miss Townsend came
Miss McMenamin. She is one of the
purses who had charge of the ward in
which the self-wounded colored man
was placed after his arrest.

lead to a better, and the longest life ia
