Lynch Law in Delaware Burned at the Stake
A four thousand strong mob in Wilmington, led by a Virginian, lynched George White after he confessed to assaulting Miss Helen Bishop, 17, daughter of Rev. E. A. Bishop. The mob stormed the workhouse, dragged White to a stake, ignited oil, and he died amid gunfire. The mob demanded immediate trial, criticizing the Delaware court for delaying. The coroner ruled Miss Bishop died from injuries from the assault.
