Negro Arrives at Salisbury from Rail road Camp at Marlon ana lens Harrowing Tale of Brutality Has Painful Wounds on Ills Body In vestigation to be Made. Special to The Observer. Salisbury, May 29. George Stoball, allss Will White, a colored man, came to Salisbury yesterday from the Marlou camp where the 8. & W. Rail road Is being graded, and showed evidences of inhuman treatment re ceived there last week. The negro la not smart but tells a story, any part of which. It true as related portrays a fearful condition of brutality. It Is hardly to be believed that everything Is as he represented It. White says that he came to camp No. from Wilson and went to work on the grade. Before the allotted time of (0 days had expired, he grew tired of the treatment and last Thura- day decided to leave and go to town, Marion being his objective point. As he started off a walking boas, he says, drew his gun on him and prevented his leaving, telling him that he would be killed If he left. The negro aald the white boas then gathered four men, whose names he remembred, and proceeded to the woods where they began to flog him. One used a blaekiack with which he knocked White down and the men all covered him with pistols. The four aiding In he beating used their fists and beat him In the face, numerous bruises and scars testifying to punishment of some kind at the hands of somebody. Upon his naked body there are many marks which, he says, were made with a chain to which short pieces of leather were atached. He has bruis ed and swollen anklea and his throat Is Inflamed from some cause, to chok- ng he attributes It. He Is a badly one up man, though his story is open to question. When he was released, White saya he was ordered back to ramp and threatened with death If he told how he came by his Injuries. For sev- ral daya he declares that he said nothing about the matter and first aald he had been atung by a bee and later that he had been kicked by a mule. It la a story of much sensa tional nature that It will be Investigat ed and the matter has been put Into the handa of atorneya who will Im mediately make Inquiries relative to It.
