WHITNEY'S CONFESSION
Makes New York Police Think That

New York. Aug. 13, Whitney's con
fession of police collusion with gamb
lers was the chief topic of discussion
at police headquarters yesterday. The
first of Frank Moss's disclosures creat
ed a panic, but the- decision of the
agent of the poolroom men to tell of
his experiences in tin matter of pro
tection of gamblers gave the police a
shock from which they will not soon
recover. Corroboration of Dillon's
story t,f the arrangements by which
poolrooms were "tipped off ' had been

Victim Admitted Crimes Incident to
Principal One, But Denied That
Woman, However, Positively Identi
fied Him Mob Numbered 400.
Savannah, (la.. Aug 12. Eighteen
miles south of Savannah, near the
Seaboard Air Line railway, the charred
trunk of the body of Joe Washington,
the negro ravisher of Mrs. J. J. Clark.
Is all that remains to tell the story of
the dreadful tragedy of last night
Washington was captured at Liberty
City and was brought to Way Sta
tlon, near which place his crime was
committed. He was carried before
Mrs. Clark, who identified him posi
tively as the negro who had assaulted
her. The proof of guilt was absolutely
conclusive, and includes circumstances
that scarcely can be hinted at in
print.
The negro's postUve Identification
by his victim sealed his fate. A mob
of 400 men clamored for his life, but
the leaders of the mob, nusiberlng lars
than a dozen, carried into execution
the plans they formed. The rest of
the mob was kept at a distance and
was not permitted to come within 100
yards of the place where Washington
met his death. This was at a spot
a few feet from the railway track, and
not 500 yards from the house In which
the ravisher committed the crime for
which he paid so dreadful a penalty.
He walked to his death without a
tremor, and met It without a prayer
or an appeal for mercy. lie admitted
his guilt of crimes incident to the
principal one which proved his guilt
Of that. But to the end he stubbornly
refused to acknowledge that he had as- J
satilted Mrs. Clark.
Along l he side of the railway track
a crowbar was driven Into the earth.
To this Washlngon was forced nnd
was bound to it in a sitting position.
His legs extended straight in front of
his on either Bide of the bar... A chain
held him fast around the waist, while
a heavy rope encircled the bar and
his neck. Washington's victim had
been asked by the leaders of the mob
to apply the torch to the pyre, but at
this office her soul revolted, and she !
declined. Her husband was selected
in her stead. Washington looked
straight Into the eyes of Clark as the
latter stooped down to apply the I
match. The wood was ric h, fat pine, i
and was saturated with kerosene oil
The flames leaped hungrily towards
Washington's body. The man showed :
no signs in his face of tho agony he
must have suffered, and mot death
without a groan, as seemingly he had
faced It without fear.
Negroes, citizens of the section of
Bryan county in which tho tragi lyj
took place, were almost a unit in ap
proving it. and very many of them
were members of the mob that carried
into execution the plan of vengeance.
