A Chinese Murderer Lynched in California.
San Francisco, July 11.—A company of the National Guard troops was placed at the jail at Calabas last evening by order of the governor in order to protect the Chinese murderer Hong, who shot and killed Mrs. Billgup. The excitement of the populace regarding the verdict fixing the penalty at imprisonment for life was so great that an organized attack on the jail was regarded as imminent. The excitement having apparently given way, the guard was removed shortly before midnight.
Negro Ravisher Lynched. Chicago, July 11.—A special from Lexington, Ga., says: A telegram from Lexington reports that Ross Griffin was taken from jail at that place at 3 o’clock yesterday morning and hanged to a tree in the outskirts of the town.
