2 ONE OF THE RAPE FIENDS SWINES Identified by Mrs. Ogletree, His Victim. HE CONFESSED HIS CRIME BELONGED TO A GANG OF .JAIL BREAKERS. A A YOUNG NEGRO AIDED IN HIS CAPTURE Two Other Negroes Found Dead are Thought to have been ly ched as Well. An Infuriated Mob is Chating Five O.hers. i Bainbridge, Ga.. .July -it. —Om* negro lynched l.y haughig after being tortur ed, two found (load, who wore possibly lynched, and an excited mob chasing five other negroes is the situation regarding Uie Ogletree outrage today. There is the wildest exeitenu'nt throughout this sec tion of the State, and it is feared by the law-abiding citizens that others will be put to death by those who are searching for the negroes implicated hi the assault on Mrs. Ogletree at Saffold, Ga., Thurs day night. Late last night Louis Sam,mins, a big. yellow negro, who answered to the de scription of one of the men who commit ted the assault, was captured near Brin son. Ga., and at midnight he was taken to Saffold, and Mrs. Ogletree .positively identified him. lie then made a full confession, swearing that he belonged to a band of seven other negroes who re cently broke jail at Augusta. Ga., and who had been in hiding ill the Chatta hoochee river bottoms near Saffold for several weeks. INTENDED TO ROB. 1 He said that he and another of the gang were selected to rob the Ogletree store and divide the spoils with their pals in the swamp. No assault on the woman was contemplated until the two negroes saw her. Saturn ins gave the names of his companions in the crime and described them. This morning at sunrise Samini ns was taken to an oak tree near the Ogletree house. He was chained to the tree and parts of his body were cut off. A stout rope was tits! aroutnl his neck and he was told that he could pray if lie wanted to before being hanged. “Ob, Lord, have mercy on my soul,” was all he could say. With a great shout from 200 men, 50 of them pulled away on the long rope and up shot Sammons’ body through the air. lie kicked and swayed for 10 minutes and them life be came extinct. His body was riddled with bullets by the mob as it dispersed. The body was left hanging to the limb today as an object lesson to the negroes of the community. Saminims was captured by the assist ance of a negro. He 'appealed to Thomas Lindsay, a young mulatto, for help to escape and Lindsay .promptly turned the outlaw over to the posse. INK*OWN BODIES FOUND. Early this morning the bodies of two unknown negroes were found on the rail road embankment war Bainbridge. A e,g crowd examined the bodies. It was believed by some that the men had l**en accidentally killed by a train, hut others asserted that tney had been hanged by a mob, and their bodies placed on the track to be run over by a train. The heads of both had been neatly scalped. •So divided was the opinion that the coroner was summoned, and hr empan elled a jury, which, after hours of de liberation, returned a verdict that the negroes came to their death accidentally. The officers of the law aw powerless to check the fury of the people. The man who was with Saumsins has not yet been captured. He is regarded as the more guilty of the two. as he proposed the assault on the woman and first com mitted the crime. Several negroes have been captured and taken before Mr. and Mrs. Ogletree. woo have declared them to be innocent. TH~ EIGHT THAT BROKE JAIL. On June <1 eight negroes broke jail in Augusta, and, despite the fact that a re ward was offered for them, they were never found until the gang turned up near Saffold. They are Sa martins. John Doogan, Edward Henderson, William Easterling, Benjamin Lark, Columbus Ray, William Campbell and another whose’name is unknown. The victim of today’s lynching declar ed t.iat these men have been together since their escape from jail. CAITUKE OF SECOND NEGRO. Two of the Gang Will he Lynched To day. Bainbridge. Ga., July 2-1. There will he a double lynching in West Bainbridge early tomorrow morning, unless some thing unforeseen occurs. Two more mem bers of the gang of robbers, murderers and rapists are in the hands of a de termined posse of whites. One of the captives is Charles Mack, the companion in crime of lain is Sam min. who was lynched yesterday. It was Xammin and Mack who outraged Mrs. Ogletree in t'hep resejnce of her husband at Saffold. one holding a pistol at the head of the husband to prevent his interference. Mack was raptured at Iron City by a white man named Cardell. Carded tried to get his prisoner through to jail, hence secreted him. A mob of several hundred country people met C-ardell and asked the whereabouts of his prisoner. He declin ed to say. A rope was quickly put about his neck and he was given ten minutes in which to give up the rapist or his life. He then told where the negm was. In a short while the crowd had Mack. While arrangements for the lynching were in progress a telegram came from CASTORIA f 0( Infants and Cniidrad Tbs Kind You Have Always Bought Iron City that another member of the gang had been captured. It would require several* hours to get the new prisoner to the scene, so it was detremined to iHistpone the execution of Mack until tomorrow, at which time it is proposed to have a double hanging for the puricose of impressing other |M»ssible members of the gang who are not yet known. Before Sa.mniin was lym bed he con fessed and said that lie and .Mack had robbed the Ogletrees. and that both had outraged the woman. While they were committing their crimes, he said. <ix oth ers whose names he gave, were on watch outside. Mack is said to have confessed, corroborating iSnmnrin's statements. "I In* men. lie said. were handed together for murder, robbery and rape. I'ive ot the negroes named, including Sammiu are now dead, and every indication: taxors the death of two more tomorrow. The information is that the prisoner from Iron City will arrive at about 2:50 a. m.. and the lynching will probably oc cur shortly thereafter. "Kid Jim.” one of the Saffold negtoes. was located this afternoon In a cabin near l’inckard. Ala. He is guarded by alMiut one hundred of his race who say they will defend him against any ai taek. A posse of 100 men. heavily armed, left Bainbridge this afternun for the cabin and say they will take "Kid Jim’ dead or alive, guard or no guard. KILLED RESISTING ABLEST. Macon. Ga.. July 24.—The Telegraph has a telegram from Leesburg. Ga.. say ing a negro supposed t<> be one of 'no Saffold ravishers, was killed by citizens tonight while resisting ancst. A NTI GOHBELITES ACTIVE. Meet and Denv the Ticket is Entitled { > SSai D S Bowling Green. Ky.. July 2-4.—The anti-Goebel meeting here today was largely attended. Ex-Congressman \\ . C. Owens sent a letter condemning t lit* nomination of Goebel for Governor and criticising the work of the Dullsville con vent ion generally. The meeting adopted resolutions condemning the .movement in augurated by so-called Democrats in Eastern States to abandon the prinri ph >s pf the ( hieago platform ami endors ing William Jennings Bryan for Presi dent. and charging that the State conven tion in Dullsville which nominated Goe bel “was perverted from its true purpose by corruption, fraud and force, by in trigue and treachery, by infamous rulings of the acting chairman, thereby setting at naught the time honored principle of Democracy that the will of the majority of the people shall la* the governing pow er.” The resolutions deny that the ticket is entitled to or should receive the sup port of the party in this State. The convention repudiated the so-called nominee, anil "in order to preserve the integrity of the party and to secure the election of Democrats,” requested a “provisional executive committee” of twelve to meet at Lexington, August 2nd, and meanwhile to take steps to se cure a full representation < f that meet ing of Democrats throughout the State who are in sympathy with tin* uioveiu nt. ENDS IN SEMI-RIOT. Bowling Green, Ky., July 24.—The Anti-Goebel meeting here ended in the greatest disorder. Personal violence was resorted to several times before the convention was adjourned. One man was struck from the rear with brass knucks. Several others were struck, and for a time it threatened to become a general riot. Pistols and knives were drawn and, but for a temporary adjourn ment, more bloodshed would surely have resulted. , JONES READY TO RESIGN. Authorized Stone to Present llis Resig nation if Advisable. (Baltimore Sun.) Chicago, July 23.—William J. Stone, of Missouri, could have become chairman of the Democratic National Committee in name as well as fact last Thursday had he been so minded, and with the full eons< nt of Senator James K. Jones, of Arkansas, the nominal chairman. Mr. Stone was given explicit authority by Chairman Jones to name all commit tees or sub-eonimittees which might he necessary or might be created under new rules; to do anything he thought lyst for the party in the name of the chair man, and. most important of all, to offer Mr. Jones" resignation to the committee, "if the conditions should seem to demand it.” Looking forward to UH*d it is deemed ,almost a ceiluiiily that Mr. Stone will be ehniiir.au of llu* National Committee after the next renvoi,turn. If Mr. Jones >s ro-cleefeo chairman, Mr. Stone will surely head the campaign committee. RANDOLPH IS SENTENCED. Washington. July 24.

"Convention for the adoption of laws against the use of asphyxiating or dele terious gases from balloon projectiles, and for the prohibition of t'fie use of bul lets that easily expand in the human body,” The fund act contains five expressions of opinion as follows: "The conference considers that limi tations of the military charges wltbli at present oppress the world are greatly to be desired for the incfensi of tin* ma terial and moral welfare of mankind. "The conference expresses the op nioii that llic question of the rights and duties of neutrals should lie inscribed on the I tog ram of a conference to be held at an early date.
