This original newspaper contains prominent inside page "stacked" headlines and a long report of the threat to lynch 2 NEGR0ES for the murder of a White planter in Benton, LA (near Shreveport, LA). These 2 were lynched as predicted in the article Frank better known as the “Prophet” Smith and F. D. McLand, held at Benton, LOUISIANA for complicity in the murder of John Gray Foster, were taken out by a mob tonight and strung up to a tree. Benton is a town in, and the parish seat of, Bossier Parish, in the U.S. state of Louisiana. They were left dangling side by side. The lynching occurred on the Arkansas road about one mile from the jail. Both colored men made statements before death denying that they had anything to do with the killing. Smith, who was the head of what is called the “Church of God,” and who was blamed for being responsible for the sentiment against the whites which led to the death of Foster, died praying. McLand was silent was he was swung up. As Smith was being led from the jail prior to the execution he was heard to say: “Lord, You promised to be with me now.” There were about 21 armed men in the mob and they overpowered the Sheriff and jailer taking the keys away from them. The lynchers claimed that the execution was necessary to the preservation of the lives of white men in this locality. Very good condition.
