A Wilmington mob of about 4000 led by a Virginian burned George F White a Black man at Price's Corners four miles from Wilmington after a week of violence following the murder of 17 year old Helen Bishop. Four lawbreakers were shot by prison guards during the crowd raid on the jail. White was dragged from his cell and, after admitting the assault on Helen Bishop, was executed at the stake and shot. The incident followed widespread mob actions and police failure to disperse the crowd. Arbitration averted a citywide labor clash in Pittsburgh as bricklayers and stone masons agree to submit to a joint arbitration committee, ending a monthlong dispute and recalling workers.
