Oolonmn colored confessed niuriluritifj
Mrs James Lashbrook wifo of hiH em
ployer mid expiated his crlmo iu day
light ycstordny nt tho hands of n mob
consisting of thousands of citizens by
burning at tho stako after suffering tor
turo and fright beyond anticipation
Tho dreadful spectnclo occurred on
tho peaceful cricket grounds on tho out
skirts of this one of tho oldest and
nmong tho proudest cities of Kentucky
Tho barbarities inflicted upon this young
negro by citizons of ouo of tho most
highly civilized cities of tho stnto aro
almost beyond belief and could only bo
accounted for by tho intonso feeling
created by long consideration of tho
atrocious crime of which n full confes
sion had been nmdo by Coleman Just
two months ago Richard Colomau tho
trusted employe of Farmer James Lash
brook in a moment of dopravity aud
savagery not equaled in tho annals of
crimo murdered tho woman who hod
been his bouofactor Coleman was not
only employed on tho farm but had
been installed as n sorvaut and was
trusted implicity ny both Mr Lashbrook
and his wife On tho day of tho mur
der Mr Lashbrook was at work somo
distanco away from tho houso Colo
man was loft in chargo of tho houso
Mrs Lashbrook had driven to Mays
villo aud returned whon Coleman asked
her to cuter tho cabin to look at somo
work at which ho had been engaged
Tho negro locked tho door on tho in
side Mrs Lashbrook became fright
ened and screamed Colomau struck
her ou tho head knocking her down
but not stopping her cries Ho then
seized a razor and cut her throat Ho
picked up tho bleeding body and placed
it on tho bed Ho then left tho room
but returning heard her still groaning
and with an ax ho struck her repeatedly
on the head until he was suro she was
dead Without any show of alarm or
remorse for his crimo tho negro calmly
washed tho blood from his hands and
clothing aud went to where Mr Lash
brook was at work in the field aud told
him that ho had better como to tho
house as somo ono had killed his wifo
Mr Lashbrook did not tako tho matter
seriously until Coleman insisted that
his wifo was dead Even then so great
was the confidence of Mr Lashbrook in
Coleman that no thought occurred that
ho was tho murderer It was not until
tho officers arrived that suspicion was
directed against Coleman Bloodspots
hod boon found on his clothing but ho
accounted for that by saying that ho
had been killing chickens That night
however at Maysvillo a partial confes
sion was obtained aud knowing tho re
sult if that fact should becomo known
the officers quickly took him to Coving
ton for safe keeping He was indicted
for the murder Shortly after his in
carceration at Covington ho made a
complete aud horrible confession of his
crime to tho jailer Tho story of his
revolting crimo including worso than
murder was told without any appear
ance of feeling by tho prisoner This
confession becoming public roused a
feeling of indignation against the pris
oner among tho rolativos and friends of
tho victim and it was morally certain
that tho officers of tho law would be un
able to prevent a summary vengeance
at tho first opportunity Still tho
authorities at Maysvillo did not act
upon that basis There was no call
upon tho governor for troops to protect
the prisoner
Arrival nt Maytvllle
Coleman arrivod here under a special
guard of doputies sworn in by tho sher
iff When thoy reached tho court house
thoy wero met by a mob of fully 1000
people headed by James Lashbrook the
husband of tho murdered woman Tho
mob took him from tho officers and
went immediately up Second street
through tho central portion of tho city
to tho hill followed by a throng of fully
6000 persons
Tho placo of oxecution had boon se
lected weeks ugo in accordance with all
tho other arranged details of tho pro
gram mapped out by tho loaders of tho
mob Tho prisoner was dragged to a
sapling and strapped against tho tree
facing tho husband of tho victim Largo
quantities of dry brush and largor
bunches of wood wero piled around him
whilo ho was praying for spoedy death
James Lashbrook the husband of tho
victim appliod tho first match to tho
brush wood A brothor of tho victim
struck tho second match Someono
with a knifo was slashing at tho pris
oners chost By a sort of cruol concur
rence of action on tho part of tho mob
not a single shot was firod Tho purposo
seemed to givo tho wrotoh tho greatost
possible amount ami duratiou of tor
ture A fatal shot would havo been
merciful but there was no mercy in tho
crowd surrounding Richard Coleman
As tho flames aroso his horrors in
creased Ho mado vain efforts to with
draw his limbs from tho encroaching
fire his oyes rolled in a frenzy of suffer
ing The ropes securiug him to tho
treo wero burned aud his body finally
fell forward on tho burning pilo Even
then although it was not certain
whether ho was living or
dead tho vengeful purposo of tho
crowd lod tnom to uso rails and
long poles to push his body back
into tho flames It is not cortaia
how long lifo lusted During tho pro
cess whilo his voice could bo heard ho
begged for a drink of water his tonguo
protruding and his eyeballs fairly start
ing from his head At tho cud of three
hours tho body was practically cremated
During all that timo mombcrs of tho
family of Mrs Lashbrook had remained
to keep up tho firo and keep tho body in
position where It would oontlnuo to
burn At that timo a nophow of Mrs
Lashbrook was ptshlug tho body onto
tho bumod embers whilo a curious
crowd of several thousand persons still
lingered on tho scone During tho
march through tho city tho prisoners
oyes had been burned out with acid
thrown from an egg sholl In all tho
thousands that composed tho mob thoro
was not a single attompt to concoal
idontity No man woro a mask All
tho lcadors of tho mob aro well known
and thero aro hundreds of witnesses
who can testify to their participation iu
tho tragedy Thoy aro leading citizens
in all linos of business and many aro
mombors of churches
County Judge Harleson will empanel
a special grand jury at ouco to make a
speedy investigation and return indict
ments against tho lcadors of tho mob
Thero is a strong feeling that no pun
ishment will lesnlt from this tragedy
