Newnan, Ga., April 23. In-tho
presence of nearly 2,000 people who
sent aloft yells of defiance and shouts
of joy, Sam Hose, a negro who com
mitted two of the basest acts known
to crime, was burned at the stake in a
public road one and one-half miles
from here this afternoon. Before the
torch was applied to the pyre, the ne
gro was deprived of his ears, fingers
and other portions of his anatomy. The
negro pleaded pitifully for his life
while the mutilation was going on
but stood the ordeal of fire with sur
prising fortitude. Before the body
was cool it was cut io pieces, the bones
were crushed into small bits and even
the tree Upon which the wretch met
his fate was4ornup and disposed of
as souvenirs. The negro's heart was
cut into several pieces, as was also his
liver. Those unable to obtain these
ghastly relics direct, paid their more
fortunate possessors extravagant
for them. Small pieces of bone went
luracems, ana a bit of the liver
cnspiy cooicea, sold for 10 cents." One
of the men who lifted the can nf km.

Hon. W. Y. Atkinson, former gov
ernor or tteorgia, met the mob as ho
was returning from church and, ap
; peaieu ii mem io let the law take its
course. In addressing the mob he
used these words: "Some of you are
known to me and when this affair is
uuauy seined m the courts, you may
depend upon it that I will testify
against you." A member of the mob

uu wuuiu near to notning but burn
ing at the stake.
Hos confessed to killing Crauford,
but deuied that he had outraged Mrs.
Cranford. Before being put to death
the negro stated that he had been paid
12 by "Liee" Strickland, a negro
preacher at Palmetto, to kill Cranford.
To night a mob of citizens is scourinp
the country for Strickland, who has
left his home and will be lynched if
caught.
- Sam Hose killed 'Alfred Cranford,
a white farmer near Palmetto and out
raged his wife, ten days ago. Since
that time business in that part of the
' State has been suspended, the entire
population turning out In an effort to
capture Hose. -
Governor Candler has been asked
to send troops here to .preserve brder
for a day or two, as it is feared the
ncgroesmay wreak vengeance.as friany
threats to that effect have been made.
- The Detailed Story. '
Hose has been on the farm of the
Jones brothers, between Macon and
Columbus, since the day after he com
mitted his horrible crime. His mother
is employed on 'the farm, and to her
little cabin he fled as a safe refuge.
She fed him and cared for him, but it
is not believed that she knew he was
being hunted for - by the authorities.
The Jones brothers were not aware
of the crime until a few days ago, and
were . not sure that he was the much
wanted man. Saturday morning one
of the Jones boys met Hose and he
was talking to him when he noticed
that his "ginger" face was ebony
.black, but just below the collar of his
shirt the copper color was discernible.
Convinced that the negro had black
ened his face to escape detection,
Jones became convinced that he was
the negro for" whom the authorities,
assisted by bloodhounds, had been
scouring the country for ten days, and
then determined to arrest him. Sun
day morning they brought the negro
into Macon and put him aboard the
Central of Georgia train with the in
tention of bringing him to Atlanta.
At Griffin some one recognized
Hose and sent word on Xo New
man, the next station, that the ne
gro was on the train bound for At
lanta. When Newnan was reached a
great crowd surrounded the train and
pushed into the cars. The Jones boys
were told that the negro could be de
livered to the sheriff of Campbell
county, and that it was not necessary
to take him to Atlanta. This was ac
ceded to, and the negro was taken off
the train and marched at the head of
,a yelling, shouting crowd of 500 peo
ple to the jail. Here they turned him
over to Sheriff, Brown, taking a re
ceipt for the prisoner, thus making,
themselves sure of the $1,250 reward
for the "arrest and delivery to the
sheriff of Campbell county, of one
Sam Hose." Word was sent to Mrs.
Cranford at Palmetto that it was be
lieved Hose was under arrest and her
presence was necessary in Newnan to
make sure of the identification. In
some way the news of the arrest leak
ed out, and as the town has been on
the alert for nearly two weeks the in
telligence spread rapidly. From every
house in the little city came it$ .occu-
I pants, and a good sized crowd was
, soon gathered about the jail. Sheriff
Brown was importuned to give up the
prisoner, and finally, in order to avoid
an assault on. the- jail and possible
bloodshed, he turned the wretch over
to. the waiting crowd. A procession
was quickly formed and the doomed
negro was marched at its head through
several streets of the town. . Soon the
public square was reached. -
" An Appeal Made.
Here they formed and exovernor
Atkinson, of Georgia, who lives in
Newnan, came hurriedly upon the
scene and, standing up in a buggy,
: importuned the crowd to let the law
take its course. .Governor Atkinson
said: -! ...
"My fellow citizens and friends: I
beseech you let this affair go no fur
il' ou are hurrying this negro on
to death without an identification. Mrs.
Cranford, whom he is said to have
assaulted and. whose husband he is
said to have killed, is sick in bed and
unable to be here to say whether this
is her assailant. Let this negro be re
turned to the jail. The law will take
its course and I promise you it will do
so quickly and effectively. Do not
stain the honor of the State with a
- uuuo sucn as you are about to
form.

Judge A. D. Freeman, also of New
nan, spoke m a similar strain and im
plored the mob to return the prisoner
to the custody of the sheriff and go
home. The assemblage heard the
words of the two speakers in silence,

a.i tnis a roar went up from tho

negro, snivenng like a leaf, continued
nis recital, "i did not outrage Mrs.
Cranford. Somebody else did that : I

. . The Horror Begins.
The mob could hear no more. The
clothes were -torn from the wretch in
u lusiaut. a neavy cnain was pro
duced and wound around the bodv of
1.110 icmueu wretcn, ciaspea by a new
iuck, wnicn aangiea at Hose's neck.
He said not a word to this nnwRAriino-
but at the sight of three or four knives
nasnmg in the hands of several mem
bers of the crowd about him, which
seemea to iorecast tne terrible ordeal
he was about to ba put to, he sent up a
yell which could ba heard for a mile.
Ante-Mortem Mutilation.
Instantly a hand grasping a knife
shot out, and one "of the negro's ears
dropped into a hand ready to receive
it. Hose pleaded pitifully for mercy,
and begged his tormentors to let him
die. His cries were unheeded. The
second ear went the way of the other.
Hardly had he been deprived of his
organs of hearing before his fingers,
one by one, were taken from his hand
and passed among the members of the
yelling and now thoroughly mad
dened crowd. The shrieking wretch
was quickly deprived of other por
tions of his anatomy, and the words,
"Come on With the Oil"
brought a huge can of kerosene to the
foot of the tree. ' The negro, his body
covered with blood from head to foot,
was striving and tugging at his chains.
The can was lifted over the negro's
headby three or four men and its con
tents poured over him. By this time a
good supply of brush, pieces of fence
rails and firewood had been placed
about the negro's feet. This pyre was
thoroughly saturated and a match ap
plied. .
The Burning,
A flame shot upward and spread
quickly over the pile of wood. As it
licked the negro's legs he shrieked
loudly and began tugging at his chains.
As the flames crept higher and the
smoke entered his eyes and -mouth,
Hose put the stumps of his hands to
the tree back of him and with a terrifi.
plunge forward of his body severed the
upper portion ot tne cnain which bound
him to the tree. His bodv. held to t.h
tree only as far as the thighs, lunged
forward, thus escaping ' the flames
which roared and crackled about his
feet. - One of the men nearest the burn
ing negro quickly ran up and pushing
him back said:
'Get back into the fire, there." anrl
quickly cflupled the disjointed links of
the chain.
The road for a distance of half a mil
on each side, of the burning negro was
black with conveyances and was sim
ply impassable. The crowd surrounded
the stake on all sides, but none of those
nearer than 100 feet ' of the centre
were able to see what was poin on.
Yell after yell went up and the pro
gress of the flames as communicated
to those in the rear" by shouts from the
eye-witnesses.
Horrible Souvenirs.
The torch was applied about haif
ast 2 and at 3 o'clock the body of
am Hose was limn and lifeless, his
head hanging to one side. The body
was not cut down. It was cut to pieces.
The crowd fought for places about
the smouldering tree and with knives
secured such pieces of his carcass as
did not fall to pieces. The chain was
severed by hammers, the. tree was
chopped down, and, with such pieces
of firewood as had not burned, was I
carried away as souvenirs.

stand ready to employ every resource
of the State in doing so, but they must
realize in order to merit and receive
the protection of the community, thev
must show a willingness to at least
aid in protecting the community
against the lawless element-of their
own race. The good and law-abiding
negroes must separate themselves
from the lawless and criminal element.
They must denounce crime and
aid in bringing criminals, to ins-
tice, whether thev be black or whit p.
In this way they can do more to pro

secure protection against lawless
whites, they must show a disposition
to protect the white people "against
lawless blacks."
The Negro Preacher Caught.
Palmetto. Ga.. April 23. Eliiah
Strickland, the negro preacher here.
who was accused by Sam Hose, the
negro burned to death, near Newnan
to-day, of paying him (Hose) $12 to
murder Farmer Alfred Cranford, was
captured by a mob of people from this
vicinity three miles out of town to
night. He was brought to Palmetto
and at midnight was placed on trial
for his life by' a court composed of
those who had arrested him. Speech
es for and against his character were
made, and the trial is in progress at
this hour (12:30 A. M.)
The Negro Preacher Lynched.
Palmetto. Ga.. Anril 24 Tho
body of Lige Strickland, the necro
preacher who was implicated in the
Cranford murder by Sam Hose, was
found swinging to the limb of a tree
within a mile and a Quarter of this
place early to day. Before death was
allowed to end the sufferings of the
negro, his ears were cut off and the
small finger of his left hand was sev
ered at the second joint. These trophies
were in Palmetto to-day.
On. the chest of the negro was a
blood stained paper, attached bvan or
dinary pin. On one side of this paper
was written: "New York Journal:
We must protect our ladies--23. '99 "
The other side of the paper contained
a warning to the negroes of the neigh
borhood. It reads as follows:
"Beware all darkies. You will be
treated the same way."
uerore being hnallv Ivnched Strick
land was given a chance to confess to
the misdeeds of which the mob sup
posed him to be guilty, but he pro
tested his innocence to the end. Three
times the noose was placed around his
neck and the negro was drawn up off
the ground; three times he was let
down and told that death was in store
for him should he fail to confess his
complicity in the Cranford murder.
Three times Strickland proclaimed his
innocence, and weary of useless tor
turing the mob pulled on the rope and
tied the end around the slender trunk
of a tree. Not a shot was fired by the
m'ob. Strickland was strangled to
death.
Efforts to Save His Life.
The lynching of Lige Strickland
was not accomplished without a des
perate effort on the part of his em
ployer to save his life. ' The man who
pleaded for the negro is Major W. W.
Thomas, an ex-State Senator, and one
of the most distinguished citizens of
Coweta county. He- did all in his
power to prevent the lynching of the
negro and did not discontinue his
efforts until he had been assured by
the leaders of the mob that the negro
would be taken to jail at Milburn.
One -mile from where this promise was
made Lige Strickland was nanged.
The negro was a tenant on the planta
tion of Major Thomas.
When Sam Hose, the murderer of
Alfred Cranford and the assailant of
his wife, made the confession immedi
ately prior to his burning he implicat
ed Lige Strickland, Hose contending
that he had been offered money by
otricKiana to kiii uraniora. it was
known positively, however, that Hose
had made false statements in his last
confession and many of those who
aided in his burning were disposed to
disregard his statement in regard to
Strickland. Late Sunday night about
fifteen men went to the plantation of
Major Thomas and took Lige Strick
land from the little cabin in the woods
that he called his home, and left his
wife and .five children to weep
over the fate they, knew was in
store for the negro.. Their cries
aroused . Major Thomas and that
sturdy old gentleman followed the
lynchers in a buggy, accompanied by
his son, William M. Thomas, deter
mined to save if possible the life of his
plantation darkey. He overtook the
lynchers -with their victim at Pal
metto, and then ensued, with only the
moonlight to brighten the faces of
these grim men, the wierdest and most
dramatic scene this section. has ever
known. Lige Strickland was halted
directly opposite the telegraph office,
lhe noose was. adjusted around his
neck and the - end of the rope was
thrown over a tree. Strickland was
told he had a chance before dying , to
confess his complicity in the crime.
He replied :, "I have told you all I
know, gentlemen: You can kill me
if you wish, but I know nothing more
iu ten.
The negro's life might have-been
ended then but for the arrival of
Major Thomas, who leaped from his
buggy and asked for a hearing. He
asKea tne crowa to give the negro a
cnance for his life here on the streets
of Palmetto and said: "Gentlemen,
this' neero is innocent. TTora Raid
Lige had promised to give him twenty
aonars to mil Alfrea Cranford, and 1
belie f e Lige has not had twenty
dollars since he has been on my place.
He has never done any of you any
harm, and now I want you to promise
me that you will turn him over to the
bailiff of this town in order that he
may be given a hearing. I do not ask
you to liberate him. Hold him and if
the courts adjudge him guilty, hang
mm."
To this the mob replied that Strick
.land had inflamed the negroes in the
neighborhood, and had a bad .renuta-
tion.'havhig beearfun from East Point
several years ago. Major Thomas re
minded the mob that the negro had
voluntarily told of seeing Hose on the
night of the murder." A-man of the
mob replied that Strickland had done
this in the cunningness of his guilt to
establish his own innocence. There
were some, however, who agreed with
Major Thomas and after a discussion a
vote was taken which was supposed to
mean lite or death to Strickland. The
vote to let him live was unanimous,
Major Thomas then retired some dis
tance and the .mob was preparing to
put &tricKiandc4n a wagon to take him
to Newnan when a member of
the mob cried outr "We have
got him here, let's keep him."
lhis again roused the mob and a mes
senger was sent to advise Major
Thomas to leave Palmetto for his own
good, but the old gentleman was not
lightened, lie drew himself up and
said emphatically: "I have never be
fore been ordered to leave a town and
I am not going to leave this one,
And then theiajor, uplifting his hand
to give his words force, said to the
messenger: "Tell them' that the
muscles in my legs are not trained to
running; tell them that I have stood
the fire and beard the whistle of the
mm mes from a thousand Yankee
rifles and I am not frightened bv this
crowd. - . . -
Major Thomas was not molested.
Then with the understanding that
Lige Strickland was to be delivered to
the jailor at Fairburn, Major - Thomas
saw the negro he had pleaded for led
off to his death.
Hunting Another Negro.
Another mob is hunting the country
for Albert Sewell. who has made: him
self obnoxious by remarks concerning
the treatment given the negroes by the
whites. There is ho prospect of his
capture, however, as he has had a day's
start of his pursuers.

of the ambassador there was every dis
position to deal as lightly with the
matter as possible, and not to permit
it to Decome a source of friction.
During the dav the Navv Dnnnrt
ment administered to Captain Coghlan
the reprimand which had hifin Hotc.
mined upon yesterday, as stated in these
aispatcnes. This was m the form of a
letter from Secretary Long to the offi
cer, it is said at the department that
the letter will not be made public be
fore the officer has received it, and
probably not then.
lhe department made public a brief
statement or the contents of Captain
Uoghlan's letter in answer to Secre
tary Liongs reauest for an ap.lrnnwl-
edgement of responsibility for the. ut
terances ascribed to him, but the con
tents were more fullv stated in vaster-
day's Associated Press dispatches. The
statement is as follows: "Capt. Cogh
lan has replied to the department, stat
ing that the! newspapers have not re
ported him with substantial
Also, that he intended no disrespect or
contempt to tne uerman nas- and 1s
extremely sorry tnat any such inter
pretation was put upon his remarks.
Proper reprimand will be sent, and
such action taken in respect thereto as
is proper."
(Japtain Coghlan will be in com
mand of thes Raleigh when President
JttCKinley pays his visit of state to the
cruiser at Philadelphia nextTFriday,
it nas been determined that prior to
the ceremonial visit, if at all, no change
shall be made in the command as the
result of the utterances of Capt. Cogh
lan. The President takes the ground
that it would be an unkind and un
warranted reflection uoon the officers
and crew of the ship to abstain from
paying the visit, which had been ar
ranged for and occupies a prominent
piace on tne programme.

RELATIONS MOST CORDIAL.
Admiral Dewey Interviewed on the Cogh
lan Incident On Friendly Terms
With Germans.
By Telegraph to the Mernlng Star.
New York, April 26. A copyright
cable to the Evening World from Ma
nila, April 26th, says :
"Admiral Dewey was seen to-day by
the World correspondent on the Cap
tain Coghlan incident. The admiral is
still unacquainted with the details of
the famous speech, but he declared
that his relations with Captain Cogh
lan are most cordial. He received a
cablegram from the captain of the Ra
leigh when that warship- reached
Algiers, congratulating the admiral on
his promotion.
"Admiral Dewey is certain that
Coghlan could not have said anvthin?
calculated to place the admiral in a
false position. He showed the World
correspondent a letter from Admiral
Von Diednch, of the German navv.
congratulating him on his 'deserved
promotion,'' and also his letter in re
ply, which closed with the words:
All our differences were of newspaper
manufacture.'
"Admiral Dewey also savs he is on
the most friendly terms with Prince
Henry of Prussia, who succeeded von
Diedrich as commander-in-chief of the
German fleet in Chinese waters."

By Telegraph to the Moraine star.
New York; April 26. The cotton
market opened steady in tone, with
E rices one point lower to two points
igher. During the first few minutes
more or less irregularity prevailed,
Owing to conflicting rumors-regarding
the reception of some 30,000 May no
tices which had been put in circula
tion by certain houses with the in
tention, it j was understood, of
depressing the market Developments
soon demonstrated that these tenders
were being rapidly gathered in bv the
crowd and as a natural result the
houses sending out the notices made a
scramble to recover as many as possi
ble. ' This demand sent May up eight
points in short order, with the rest of the
list following suit, although less rap
idly and on a smaller scale. At the
close the market was steady with
prices four to seven points higher. .
