LYNCHING IN OHIO

Mob Wreaks Vengeance on Detective Who Killed Saloon Keeper. At Newark, Ohio, following the death of William Howard, a saloon

keeper, by one of ten detectives in the employment of the Ohio Anti-Saloon league, during attacks on saloons by the detectives, a mob of 500 men attacked the Licking county jail, seized a white man named Etherington, and hanged him to a telegraph pole in the court house square. . Howard, it is charged, did not resist the detectives when they entered his place on the outskirts of Newark. He, it is said, put his arms about Etherington as if to hold him, whereupon the officer fired a bullet into Howard's head.
