Charred corpse of Jesse Washington suspended from utility pole. May 16, 1916, Robinson, Texas. 
 

Postcard made of event
 




 

 



Jesse Washington was a mentally retarded seventeen-year-old boy. On May 8, 1916, 
Lucy Fryer, a white woman, was murdered in Robinson, seven miles from Waco, Texas.  While Washington's life is not well-documented, his death most certainly is.  He was arrested on May 8 of that year for the rape and murder of Lucy Fryer, the 53-year old wife of a well-to-do cotton farmer. Fryer was found bludgeoned to death. Washington was spared for a week by the Waco sheriff, who successfully took him into custody before a pre-trial mob got their hands on him; Washington was then sent to Dallas for holding to prevent a local incident. To appease the mob, he was transferred back to Waco and tried for the crime just one week later.It's unclear whether Washington was guilty - evidence is scant and the trial lasted just one hour, but Washington appears to have had ample opportunity to perpetrate the act and is purported to have confessed - but his guilt or innocence in the matter was not on the mob's mind. On May 15, the well-attended trial ended, and in four minutes, the jury reached its guilty verdict. Before the 17-year old could be sentenced, and with little or no resistance offered by any of the various legal entities in the courthouse, several hundred of the onlookers (some brandishing weapons) rushed Washington and carried him out the doors. 

Outside, a larger crowd waited to beat and castrate him. A chain was thrown around his neck, he was beaten, castrated, his ears cut off and dragged to the town square, where he met an immense crowd as well as the pile of dry goods boxes that was to be his end.  Washington was tossed onto the boxes and coal oil was poured over him. The other end of the chain was thrown over what has become known as the Hanging Tree, and the fuel below Washington's feet was set ablaze. Immersed in the flames, he attempted to climb the blisteringly hot chain multiple times, each time to be lowered back into the cauldron.  Then his fingers were cut off.  It's unclear how long Washington was alive, but the event lasted more than an hour, after which his fingers and teeth were claimed as souvenirs, his body parts were separated from the torso, and the remains of Washington were dumped in a bag so they might be dragged once more through the Waco streets.


Afterwards, Washington's corpse was placed in a burlap bag and dragged 
around City Hall Plaza, through the main streets of Waco, and seven miles to 
Robinson, where a large black population resided. His charred corpse was hung 
for public display in front of a blacksmith shop.

      <title>Turtle duct taped to balloons soars over city</title>
      <pubDate>Thu, 23 Aug 2012 18:33:11 -0400</pubDate>

      <description>for days and is finally rescued. Residents in a California community are outraged and Humane Society officials have launched an investigation after a turtle was found in a eucalyptus tree taped to a cluster of helium-filled balloons.



Chanelle Wright of Oceanside, Calif., discovered the turtle taped to the green and blue balloons Sunday, and immediately called the Humane Society. &quot;We look up and there are green and blue balloons up there,&quot; Wright  told ABC News affiliate 10 News . &quot;He was just swinging his arms trying to get out of it. Somebody had taped him to the balloons.&quot;



Wright rang up the Humane Society, who sent the fire department an hour later to try to free the turtle. But just as the fire officials were about to cut the turtle loose, a gust of wind blew it safely down to earth. A Humane Society employee on the scene said it was a box turtle.



Joel Rabago, another Oceanside resident, said his mother began to film the turtle's plight. &quot;When something like this happens, she always takes the video camera, no matter what it is,&quot; Rabago told 10 News.



Rabago said that although the turtle escaped unscathed from its misadventure, he's still outraged.



&quot;What were you thinking? I mean, a turtle is still life. There's no reason to be putting him up in a balloon and sending him off,&quot; Rabago said.



Wright agreed, and said her family is ready to give it a new loving home if no one comes forward to claim it.



&quot;It's animal abuse. If you didn't want the turtle, give it away, take it to a pet store,&quot; Wright said.



While an investigation is conducted into the incident, the turtle is being held by the Oceanside Humane Society. Whoever taped the turtle to the balloons and set it adrift could face charges of animal abuse.
