Chickasaw, L T., July 1.—The negro
who committed the criminal assault up-
on the 14-year-old daughter of Ira
Robinson near Womack, confessed and
offered no resistance to the mob. To
one person the negro gave his name as
Will Davis of Marshall, Texas, and he
told another that it was Will New-
bright of San Antonio. By the time the
negro war overtaken near Bradley last

She carried more than sizty travelers

to travel on comfortably to Southamp-

Plymouth and the night ride across the
country. If the New York had made
a faster passage, the roster of the dead

Slowly the mob dispersed and when
the sub peeped from the eastern hori-
son on the Sabbath morning, a life had
been taken for an outrage-committed on
an innocent girl. There now remains
only an ash heap where Will Davis, a
negro flend, was hanged and burned by
500 white menwhose first purpose is to
protect the feminine population from
injury and/rom outrage.
Many negroes live in the vicinity of
the place of the crime and where the
lynching ceurred, but today they have
remained at their homes and practically

Bt Petersburg, July 1.~The deposi-

of the torpedo boat destroyer Bedovy,
forming the defense in the courtmar-
tial of Admiral Rojestvensky and other
naval officers who surrendered to the
Japanese in the battle of the Bea oC
Japan in May, 1305 are published today.
The enilors testimony ndieates that
the Admiral* party boarded the Bedovy
with the first intention to surrender
to the nirst Japanese ship they shoula
encounter. Their initial intention was
to order a white flag prepared. The
officers of the staff of Admiral Ro-
jestvensky and the commander of the
Bedovy make a pitiable exhibition in
trying to shift the responsibility for
the surrender on each other.

planned to debark and packed their
baggage aboard at the last moment to
remain aboard. It was the fateful de-

Held by several men, Davis was
taken into th* room where Mias Rob-
