He was listened to , but as soon as he fin ished the crowd moved down the street dragging the negro by a rope. A boy was sent up a telegraph pole with a rope. It was thrown over the crossbar and the end dropped Into the crowd. 'A ' hundred hands grasped it and In an instant the negro was In the air.
