Terrible Fate of a Fiendish Negro Murderer. Canton, Miss., Oct. 20.—The little town of 8t. Anne, twenty miles east of Canton, in Leake couuty, was last night the scene of a horrible tragedy, a sequel to the burning of the Gambrel family the night belore. Joe Leflore, a negro, who was captured by a posse, confessed that he, in company with other negroes, had tied Mrs. Gambrel and her four children to the floor, saturated the surroundings with kerosene ana burned the unfortunate people alive. The man, alter the confession of the awful crime, was promptly oped to a stake ami burned to a crisp, while the crowd looked on in silence. Another negro, Bob {Smith, was saved just in tbe nick of time, as some doubt existed as to his guilt. Tbe Gambrel tragedy occurred early Thursday morning, and it was first thought tbs fire was tbe result of au accident. A casual mvesti gation revealed circumstadoes ao suspicious that a more searching investigation was made, and it was booh established beyond doubt that the family had been murdered and the house fired with the torch of an iucentiary. Posses were immediately formed to scour the country and followed every possible clue. Before the posse left St. Anne it was discov ered that Joe Leflore, a negro who lived in the neighborhood, and who had heretofore borne a good repota- tiOfiy bsd disappeared. Eariy last eveaing Leflore was captured several miles from the seene of the murder. At first th* negro vigorously denied any knowledge of the crime, bnt be finally broke down and confessed that he and Bob Smith and Andrew Smith, two other negroes, had done the dastardly work, lie hoped for no merey and told with a brntal frankness all the details of the crime. His captors wera stupefied at the revelation, in the yard vhtr* the Gambrel residence had Stood Leflore was tied to a stake and tamed alive. No one sent a merciful bullet into baa body *o kifl him.
