Article Transcript

The Chinaman arrested on the 6th inst., upon suspicion of having been implicated in the murder of Bornstein, which occurred on the 5th, was yesterday proven beyond all doubt to have committed the deed unaided and alone.

At two o’clock this afternoon while the officers were endeavoring to take the prisoner to Brigham City for safekeeping, the citizens en masse took him from the marshal down to the railroad bridge, one mile east of town, and hanged him from the trestle-work.
