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.
