crowded to suffocation.

Ruard nnd binned at the stnke, near
the scene of his ci lines, hnlf a dozen
blocks fiom the eentei of the clt.
I'lobaltly H.flOO peisons wltness-ed the
lynching. Alexander wns tied to a
inlliiMd tall, placed tipilglit In tlie
giound.
He was bi ought to the city from
the penitentiary nt Lansing at 1.S0
this afternoon nnd placed In tlie coun
ty Jail. The cltlens gathered In great
numbers unci finding peaceable en
trance to the Jail Impossible, aimed
themselves with lallioad Iron". The
jail doois weie battered down and Al
exander mn dragged to the scene of
his crime, follow id by hundteds of
howling ftenzlcd men and boys..
When Alexander m lived In charge
of his captors at the place wheie he
vt.i put to death he raised his shack
led hands and began to speak. Twice
he started but the uowd di owned
Ills trembling volee.
"You nie going to kill me whatever
1 say." he said, "but ou men nie
wiong. 1 want to tell you tight now,
ou've got the wrong man. I didn't
clo that and some clay you men hen
will run up against the man who did.
1 know It nln't any use to nay so,
lor you're going to kill me, but r did
not do It."
He was called a liar and Jet ted by
the cietwcb A inltinad mil was then
stood upright. Tills was made fast to
cross Irons firmly bound lo the up
tight Iron with win. Amuud the In'i
piovlsed stake wood and buaitls weie
plied. To this the mun ws dragged
and chained In u standing position tit
the uptight ralliiMd lion, chains and
lions weie w tapped about him and
with his hands still shackled he was
made Inst to the pot Coal oil was
then pumed ovei him,
He did not seem to teiillze that he
was to be burned at the stake and
talked rationally until John Foi ben, the
father of the mm tiered girl, lighted tho
match. Again Alexander was asked
to muke a. confession, but he icplled
that he had nothing to sn.
As the Haines leaped about him Al
exander turned ,i ghastly hue, and
clasping his hands together, began to
sway lo nni fio while the ciowd
yelled.
In II vu minutes the negio was hang
ing limp and lifeless by the chains
th.it bound him. As soon ns the crowd
saw that life was extinct It began to
slowly disperse. Hundreds, however,
stayed to the hut.
Men kept piling cm wood nil the
time until the (lames weie allowed to
die clown,
After Alexander's an est on Sattir
day he was taken befoie- Miss lto'h
who Identined him. Klnce then a mob
has suiiounded the enltentlaiy day
