Va., July 2J To-day ths dead body of William Brooke, colored, swings from the limb of a tree In the city park here, and Chief of Police Robert Lilly Ilea dying In a Cumber land. Md., hospital, from the effects of n bullet wound Inflicted by the col- oreil man. Yesterday afternoon word was brought to the police station that William Hronks, a well known col ored man. was creating trouble in the lower end of town and asking for the of an officer to subdue him. Chief of Tollce Robert Lilly said he would i'o himself and bring the man In. When llrooks saw the officer com ing he started to run for the house, ami by the time Lilly came up to the house, which had a good siied crowd surrounding It. and ordered the man to come out. Brooks came to the window of a front room .armed with a gun. Officer Lilly ordered him to sum nder ami come peacefully to the lockup. Brooks said he would not go peaceably or any other way. Lilly ran into the house for the black man. The crowd outside made no offer to help and the officer faced the des perate nopTo alone. Sounds of a fierce struggle could be heard, and the crowd that had gath ered ran to the house to help. When the room was galm d both men were foiim on the flool in mortal combat. The nogro was shouting that he would nevi 1' taken alive, and the officer, slle-:; and grim, held him with a death grip Suddenly the negro worked his right arm free from the grasp of the officer and. catching up a revolver that had fallen to the floor in the strug?! . fired point blank at the officer. Lilly fell to the floor, shot through the bowels. When the officer r leased the negro he broke from the room and ran. fol lowed by a big crowd. For several squares he kept ahead of the crowd. Finally, after a chase of half a mile, Brooks wa overtaken ami captured. He fought desperately, but could not get away. Other officers came to the rescue, and with small ceremony Brooks was handed over to the sheriff to be tal;en to the county Jail. Just as he sheriff reached the prison doors and ordered the prisoner to walk into the jail, a mob of men, at least 40 Strong, surrounded the officer and de manded the prisoner. The sheriff and guards refused and made desperate re sistance luit to no avail. Brooks was seized, rushed thron-rh the streets, half walking and half fall ing blong, toward the city park. W n the park was reached the men who were 'cading Brooks told bin: to walk up undi r a big shade tree it: t , centre of the park and prepare to die. The negro could not speak and seemed al most insensible to what was going on. The rope was drawn up. ami in a few minutes the body pf William llrooks swung from the tn e, lifeless. Then the mob dispersed, the men gninr: to their homes, and the women, mat.' whom had followed to witness the .. rlble tragedy, walked to their homi h white faces and terrified hearts, nfllepr Lilly's wounds nre fa ta1 " Is unable to talk, and can give but '1 explanation of the trouble that ' I to the shooting.
