A negro who kidnaped a [[bank cashier]] and his wife

in an attempted robbery

and killed the man for defending the woman against attack

was lynched by citizens at the scene of the slaying.

Officers said the negro, identified as 24 year old [[Nelson Nash 1909]], 

of Leesville, La, early in the morning entered the home

of J. P. Batchelor, 52, cashier of the Ringgold bank,

and forced Mr. Batchelor and his wife

to take him to the bank and open the doors.

Mr. Batchelor told the negro he could not open the vault

because of the time lock.

When Mr. Batchelor's car would not start,

the negro forced the couple, still in their nightclothes,

to accompany him up the railroad about a mile north of the town,

where he allegedly attempted to rape the woman.

Mr. Batchelor, with his hands still tied, grappled with the negro

and said "run Tennie"

and his wife ran to a nearby cabin for assistance.

The negro family hid Mrs Batchelor

when Nelson Nash came by looking for a white woman.

Mrs. Batchelor reported to Sheriff Henderson Jordan

that her husband had been murdered in a wooded area

about a mile out of Ringgold.

Mr. Batchelor was severely beaten about the head

and died of his injuries before they could get him back to town.

As the news of the crime spread

the Sheriff assembled a posse of five hundred locals

who captured Nash 15 miles away, near Sibley

and brought him back to Ringgold,

where officers said he confessed the slaying.

The crowd spirited the negro away to the scene of the slaying,

hanged him from a tree, and riddled his body with bullets.
