JUDGE LYNCH DEFEATED A Hanging Bee Murderously Dispersed by Intended Victims Louisville, Ky., Aug. 6-A special from Corydon, Indiana, brings the startling news of the slaughter of a lynching party by two men who they were trying to lynch for the murder of their father. The fearful affray took place near Laconia about sixteen miles from this place, on Saturday night. Four men were instantly killed, one fatally wounded, and several others more or less injured. William and Sam Conrad were the murderers whom the mob intended to string up. Several weeks ago the father of these men was foully murdered. His dead body was found in a woods with his skull crushed. Suspicion at once fell on the sons who are desperate characters. They were arrested, but on the preliminary hearing were discharged for want of evidence. Indignation ran high among the people and last night a mob gathered for the purpose of lynching the Conrads. The house where the men lived was attacked, but the Conrads had been warned and were prepared. As the mob advanced on the house, they poured a deadly volley into its ranks. Four men dropped dead in their tracks and several fell wounded. The Conrads then fled while the unharmed were caring for the dead and dying. The four men killed are Ed Huston, John Timberlake, Will Wienan and Isaac Howe. Will May was fatally wounded. Excitement runs high. Armed bands are scouring the country for the Conrads. If caught, they will be instantly killed.

Cincinnati (OH) Daily Gazette, February 18, 1880, p. 1. PANIC IN A CHURCH Windows Broken Out, Doors Thrown Down, and a Crush of Humanity Corydon, Indiana, Feb. 17-A fearful panic was caused at Perseverance Chapel, Harrison County, several miles from this town Sunday night. A number of persons were at the altar for prayers, and the church was crowded with people. A report had been put into circulation that the building was unsafe, and a good deal of uneasiness was felt in consequence of this report by the congregation. At the height of the services, someone in the church raised an alarm of fire. Many supposed the edifice was falling. A wild scene of panic and excitement followed, people jumping through the windows and breaking down the doors in their frantic efforts to escape. Many were badly cut and bruised, but no lives were lost. The excitement beggars description, and but a small part of the crowd could be inducted to re-enter the church after the panic had subsided.

Rockford (IL) Morning Star, June 14, 1889, p. 1. NOTE: Other articles pertaining to the initial crime identified Lemay as LaMay and LeMay. The portion of the article pertaining to the lynching in Tennessee was omitted below. MOBS AT WORK IN INDIANA AND TENNESSEE Four Victims of Judge Lynch The murderers of Farmer Lemay of Indiana and Mrs. Barness and son of Tennessee (were) taken from jail by armed mobs and strung up-swift vengeance meted out to brutal ruffians. Corydon, Indiana, June 13-At a late hour Wednesday night, a mob began to form about the county jail where Devine and Tennyson are confined. Ever since the prisoners were brought here, there have been threats of lynching, but the sheriff paid little attention to them. At midnight, the mob had grown until it numbered about 200. They were quiet but determined men. At 1:30 o'clock they made a rush for the jail. The doors were not strong and the mob soon had them open. The prisoners had been asleep, but the noise at the door awoke them. The leaders of the mob hastened to the cell in which Devine and Tennyson were confined. The door was wrenched off, and after a brief but fierce struggle, the men were dragged out of the jail and ropes were placed about their necks. The struggling persons were dragged by the mob to the bridge just west of town. The ropes were tightened about their necks, and they were thrown from the bridge. The ropes were fastened to posts, and the bodies of the murderers were left hanging there. The men comprising the mob were not distinguished in any way. The crime for which they died-The story of the crime is as follows: Last Friday afternoon, Devine and Tennyson came to the house of Lemay, a farmer, and announced themselves as cattle buyers who wanted to purchase stock for shipment. They were shown around the farm and, after inspecting Lemay's cattle, were invited to remain for supper. Soon after entering the house, the two men drew pistols and ordered Lemay to give up what money he had. Instead of complying, he started to run and was shot dead as he was passing through the kitchen door. Lemay's niece, who was in an adjoining room, ran in at the sound of the pistol shots and was also shot and seriously wounded. The men made their escape, but an alarm was given and they were captured and lodged in jail.

A copy of Mary’s obit, no date or source noted, was included with the documents in Richard Aston’s file as a veteran of the War of 1812 available online at www.Fold3.com. In 1870, Mary Aston, age 84 and a native of Ireland, was among those enumerated in the household of John S. Livingstone (sic), age 63, in New Albany, Floyd County, Indiana. DEATH OF MRS. ASTON—ONE OF THE PIONEERS Mrs. Aston, one of the earliest settlers of New Albany, departed this life yesterday afternoon at 5 ½ o’clock at the residence of her son-in-law, Mr. John Livingston, on Lower Second Street between Main and Market. About three weeks ago she met with a slight accident by falling down and dislocating her hip, but it is thought that this did not materially affect her health or hasten her demise. She had been troubled with indigestion for some weeks past, which disease, together with old age, was the cause of her death. Mary Aston was born in Ireland, December 20th, 1786, and was consequently in the 85th year of her age. At the age of three years she crossed the Atlantic with her parents, John Carson and family, and settled in Kentucky six miles from the then Louisville Fort. There she resided enduring the fears and disadvantages of frontier life until the year 1800 when her father removed to Clark’s Grant, settling on this side of the mouth of Silver Creek. Here she lived when the place where New Albany now stands was a vast cane brake with nothing but an Indian trace running through it and which extended from the fort at Clarksville to Vincennes. At the mouth of the creek, Mr. Carson kept a ferry, and every white person or Indian traveling between the forts at Clarksville and Vincennes crossed at this ferry. On many occasions during the absence of her father, Mrs. Aston had charge of the ferry, and in her old age took delight in relating the many incidents that occurred in those early times. In the year 1807, February 26th, she united in marriage to Richard Aston, whom she survived 21 years. From the time she came into the territory of Indiana, she had been a constant resident of this county and city and was familiar with every important event connected with the settlements around the falls. She is said to have been the first white woman married in Clark’s Grant and doubtless bore the first white child born in this section. She was the mother of thirteen children, all of whom except Mr. John Aston and Mrs. John Livingston died while quite young. The two persons named still survive to mourn the loss of one who was a fond and loving mother. Reared from infancy to middle age on a Western frontier, as was Mrs. Aston, is certainly not very favorable circumstances to place a woman in and expect her to maintain the qualities of tenderness, docility and many other of the finer feelings so charming and attractive to man, yet Mrs. A. was ever regarded as a lady of high moral worth and true womanly graces. She was in many respects pre-eminent in these qualities and numbered hosts of true and devoted friends in this city and elsewhere. Mrs. Aston had been a consistent member of the First Presbyterian Church of this city since 1835. Her funeral took place from the residence of Mr. Livingston this afternoon at three o’clock.

A number of 1812 pension and bounty land applications for veterans of the War of 1812 are available free of charge at www.fold3.com. The information noted below was abstracted by Randi Richardson from the documents available online for Richard Aston. Richard Aston was a sergeant in the War of 1812. He enlisted in what is now Floyd County, Indiana, and served from August 16, 1812, to September 24, 1812, and from December 5, 1812, to January 12, 1813. He reportedly died on August 16, 1850. Richard reportedly married Mary Carson in what is now Clark County, Indiana, on February 26, 1807. In March 1871, Mary (Carson) Aston applied for a widow's pension. At that time she was residing in New Albany, Floyd County, and was 85 years old. In May 1872, her application was rejected on "the informality of the application. Claimant not having subscribed an oath to support the constitution of the United States as required by the Act."

Baltimore (MD) Sun, July 30 1862, p. 2. The Riots at New Albany, Indiana-We have already given some accounts of the riots at New Albany, Indiana, between some of the white and black population there. The Cincinnati Gazette has a letter from New Albany dated the evening of the 23 inst., and written evidently by a strong sympathizer with the blacks that, besides embodying some further particulars of the riots, warrants the belief that they were not continued after Wednesday. The following extracts disclose the terrible nature of the excitement: Scenes the most shocking to humanity have been transpiring in this city during the last two days. The origin of the difficulty is variously stated, but it is believed the suffering party were not without blame. The mob that had been reigning in our streets since the first announcement of this mess until a late hour this afternoon has been guilty of atrocities that would disgrace devils in hell. When it was announced that a youth had been shot by a negro, a crime that should be promptly punished, scores of our chivalrous whisky bloats, accompanied by hundreds of profane lads and boys from ten to eighteen years of age, were rapidly moving in wild confusion over town in various directions, attaching negroes of all ages and sexes, wherever they could be found, shooting, knocking and beating the poor helpless victims without their knowing for what it was done. Helpless women and children were menaced and set upon in various places, and their cries of distress and humble pleadings were most heart-sickening. Some begged to be permitted to hide in dwellings, and others, as I was told, piteously pleaded to be sheltered from their cruel fate by being locked in jail. But in all these cases, as far as known, but one found protection in this way. Such were the scenes of yesterday. During last night anxiety was very high, but the negroes, having all fled to the woods and fields dragging their wretched offspring with them, nothing was left for the bloodthirsty demons but the deserted dwellings and their little property to destroy. Strange to say, I cannot learn that in a single instance resistance was made by these victims to this inhuman treatment. But what will strike us as most strange is the fact that, amid all this bloody and hand-handed murder in our streets during the day, so far as known, not an arrest of one of the mob has been made by our officers.
