A Negro Lynched. - (Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune) - - Kansas City, Missouri, June 13. - Late last night Charles Diddell, a negro, was lynched at Weston, in Platte County, for a nameless crime committed upon Nancy Stillwell, a white woman aged 19. Diddell left the girl for dead with a crushed skull and when arrested admitted the crime.
At a late hour a mob took him from the Sheriff to a high bridge and tied one end of a rope around his neck and the other to the end of a stringer. A brother of the young girl then pushed him into eternity and this morning his body was cut down by the Coroner.Date(s) of Creation
