YIItGfLfi MOB HANGS TITO
White Man and Negro Murder two
'
. White ;Men andPay the Rope and
LimJ TenaltyToday at Emperia. .
" A Richmond dispatch of the
"53rd says: .
k "Thenegr6 who, with a white
man, -was engaged irp the lrillig
of Justice of the.Peace Saunders
and Mf . Welton, .at 'Skippers, in
Greenville county, Thursday,
was, after an all-night chase,
captured at Stony Creek, Sussex
county. He confessed to the
shooting of Saunders and Wel
ton, and to several robberies,
among' them that of the Giz
zards, at, Emporia, jbut denied
the killing of George W Black,
who ivas murdered in Jiis store
some weeks ago', and of which
I ho was also suspected. He is
the negro Cott6n, who m escaped
fr.om the Portsmouth, Va., jail
some months ago, while under
sentence 6f death."
An indignant moU gathered
and tho sheriff at one time feared
that to call for a military com
pany would be fatal for him.
However later he got a company
but it was withdrawn and a local
citizens' guard placed. With the
promise of the sheriff that Cot
ton should not be taken away it
was hoped to quiet the mob and
give him a trial. At 1:40 a. in.,
today (Saturday) the military
again took charge - of the jail.
Today, .however, the jail was
entered and Cotton was taken
out and hanged to a tree.
The white man (whose name
we did" not catch) was caught
since Cotton was. The mob
broke into his cell and threw the
nooso over his head. At this
period the mob was temporarily
checked agreeing to defer tho
summary punishment for three
days to givohim a chance to
exonerate himself. The nogroes,
however, clamored vigorously
for his blood and at 1:30 he was
taken to the tree from which.
Cotton had Just been cut down
and hanged to death.
There was no shooting or
desecrations beyond the straight
out hanging."' "
The excitement is intense "but
seems to be quieting down and it
is'believed to be over..
The soat of the trouble . a.s we
understand 'is . at , Emporia . yi
Greenville comity, near the
North Carolina. line?
It will be remembered that
this trouble 'grew out of thqse
desperadoes killing the two
officers that were serving a war
rant on them for arobbory in a
little town called Gnzzard, '
Rev! ten. G Bronhton Coming.
