Colored Men Driven From City and Their Homes Stoned and Burned. Mayor Strives to Quell Riot , but Falls to Stop Frenzied Crowd. Joplln , Mo. , April 1C. An Infuriated mob took an unknown tramp negro from the city Jail last evening and hanged him to a telegraph pole at the corner of Second ami Wall streets , two blocks from the jail. The negro was charged with having murdered Police Officer C. Leslie , who was shot dead In the Kansas City Southern railroad yards while endeavoring to ar rest several negroes suspected of theft. The negro was captured In a slaugh ter house , brought to Joplln and placed In jail. News of the capture spread rapidly and the jail was speed ily surrounded by hundreds of people. There wore cries of "Lynch him" on all sides and City Attorney P. H. Decker mounted the jail steps and made a strong plea In behalf of Htw and order. This served to temporarily etay the mob , but did not appease It , and a short time after Decker's speech the mob started to batter In a section of the Jail wall. Every effort wan mode to prevent the entrance of the mob , but without avail , and Wlltiln fifteen minutes the infuriated moti had gained entrance to the jail and secured the trembling negro. As ho was dragged forth City Attorney Decker again Interfered and urged that the negro be given a trial. For half an hour ho talked and the mob listened to him with the negro In their custody. At one tlmo it seemed that the city attorney would win , as members of the mob began dispersing. A rush was made for the spot whore the negro was being held and ho was dragged two blocks from the jail , n rope fastened around his neck and after the rope had been thrown over the crossbar of a telegraph pole a ecoro of men attempted to pull the negro from the ground. As many more seized the negro and pulled to prevent him being hanged. For same moments it was a veritable tug-of-war , but reinforcements on the free end of the rope proved the stronger , and the negro , despite his protestations of in nocence , was finally swung Into the air and strangled to death , while shouts of satisfaction went up from the mob. The lynching of the negro served to only temporarily satisfy the indigna tion of the mob and later hundreds of men again assembled and rioted through the negro section of the city , burning houses , stoning negroes and finally drove every negro from the con fines of Joplln. The police were pow erless. The first act of the mob after hang ing the negro was to demand the re lease from jail of a local character known as "Hickory Bill , " who was un der arrest on the charge of assaulting a negro. In the hope that this would appease the mob , the prisoner was set free. But the mob did not disperse. In stead , a rush was made through Main street , the principal street cf Joplln , and every negro was frightened off the street and fled to the north part of the city , where the colored population resides. In this way the negroes were driven from all parts of the city to the negro section. Then the mob charged down on the section. Stones were thrown , doors and windows of negro houses were broken in and finally several were fired. The fire department responded , but many of the houses were burned to the ground. The mob made endeavors to prevent the fire department from extinguishing the flames and wcro partially success ful. ful.All All the officers of the city , township and county were called out , but the mob swept them aside and proceeded with the rioting. Mayor Trlgg ran from corner to corner and mounting boxes , 'made earnest appeals to the mob to cease , but they only Jeered the mayor. The saloons wcro hurriedly closed by the mayor. After the hundreds of frenzied men composing the mob had vented their wrath in the north end of the city , they rushed to the southern end , where lived a number of negroes. The houses were vacant , not a negro could bo found. Three more houses were fired and two wore consumed. Only a Saloon , Says Court. Topeka , April 13.
