first lynching in the history of De
Kalb county was recorded today
when Charley Davis, the man who
was charged with assaulting Miss
Kate Hues last Sunday evening, was
taken from the court house by a
mob of about twenty-five people
and hanged about a quarter of a mile
from town.
The assault on Miss Hues was
committed last Sunday evening and
Davis' trial was being held today.
When the witness began to give
testimony the friends and relatives
of the girl arose and made for the
prisoner. For a time there were
wild scenes and the people were
much excited. The prisoner made
an effort to escape by Jumping from
the two-story window of the court
room, several pistol snots were
fired in the confusion but Davis was
captured before he could Jump.
The sheriff, one of his deputies
and a constable, who were trying to
prevent the lynching, together with
the father of the defendant, were
severely injured in a clash with the
mob. The wounded officers are
sheriff J. T. Odum, deputy Rob

LONG WALK FOR A PENSION.
Veteran Coming Ilere From Boston A
foot to Make Pereonal Appeal to Presi
dent. Washington Post.
Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 1 Mr.
and Mrs. Martin Hill, sore-footed
and wearied by three weeks' tramp
from Boston, arrived here today on
their way to Washington, where the
husband, who is a civil war veteran,
will appeal to President McKinley
for a pension.
The pilgrims arrived at the city
hall this morning, having set out
from Bristol, Pa., a short time after
midnight. Hill said that he wished
to see the mayor. When told that
the latter, was out of the city, he
called upon Supt. of Police Quirk.
"I have given nineteen years
the best part of my life to the ser
vice of my country," he said, "I
was in the civil war from its out
break until the surrender of Gen.
Lee, and then I joined the regulars.
I served for fifteen years under the
great Indian fighting generals. I
am now old, without a home or
penny, and I think I am entitled to
a pension.
"I have spent a good deal of
money in employing attorneys to
fight my case, but I am through
with them, and several weeks ago
I determined to make a personal
appeal to President McKinley, and
in order to do this I and my wife
started from Boston on foot to
Washington. It's a. long trip, but
we will get there finally."
When told that President McKin
ley would not be in Washington
probably for some time, the old
fighter said he could spend a few
weeks with several of his old com
panions in arms who live in Freder

New Orleans, August 1. Three
negroes, Belfleld McCray, his moth
er, Betsy McCray, and his half-sister,
Ida McCray, Betsy's daughter, were
taken from the Jail at Carrollton,
Miss., today by a mob and promptly
lynched. The negroes are three of
thirteen suspected of being Implicat
ed in the murder of Mr. and Mrs.
R, T. Talliafferro, a white couple
living near McEnery, Tuesday night.
The murder was thought to be due
to the killing of a negro by Talliaf
ferro in a personal difficulty.
The murder caused much excite
ment yesterday and especially when
it was learned that the negroes in
Carrollton were well armed, and as
it was feared that they might resist
arrest. A posse of ten white men
started on the trail of a negro sus
pected of the murder. He was ar
rested and during the day twelve
others were locked up, supposed to
be implicated in the crime to a
greater or lees extent. Among those
arrested were John Tayloi, Belfleld
McCray, Bill Davis, Betay McCray
and Ida McCray. There was a dis
position to lynch the negroes at
once, but a mass meeting was held
in Carrollton in front of the court
house and jail in which the negroes
were confined, . Judge W. E. Stev
ens and District Attorney W. H,
Hill made such a strong appeal
against lynch law, the judge promis
ing to call the court in session at
once to try the cases, that the prison
ers were not molested.
The advocates of a more violent
course however, could not be held
in restraint. Judge Stevens and
District Attorney Hill began taking
testimony of witnesses this after
noon, but this only inflamed the
crowd as the testimony pointed
strongly to the McCrays as the mur
derers. They broke into the Jail at
5:80 p. m., and three negroes one
man and two . women were taken
but, hanged and their bodies riddled
with bullets. The mob announced
its purpose of lynching the ten
negro prisoners.
Governor Longino had been warn
ed of the danger, and left at once,
going on a fast train to Winona and
then on a switch engine to Carroll
ton; but the negroes had been lynch
ed before the Governor's arrival.

Jefferson's island, Deria parish, a
mob of white men flogged two
negroes, shot two others, one in the
neck, the other in the right shoulder,
and were about to lynch the negro
wounded in the shoulder when
Sheriff Henderson arrived on the
scene and unassisted prevented the
lynching.
The trouble originated last
Wednesday in a row between whites
and blacks led by Tom Brown at
Delcambrie's bridge. A party of
whites started last night to whip
Brown. As they approached Brown
opened fire on them and fled to the
east of his house. The house was
riddled with bullets and Brown was
finally driven out with his three
nephews, two of the party being
badly wounded. Two of the neph
ews were whipped and the mob had
tied a rope around Brown's neck
and was hauling him up to a tree
when Sheriff Henderson, who had
been notified of what was - going on,
appeared. Most of the mob aban
doned the lynching, bat some per
sisted. The sheriff threatened to
arrest them and take them to jail
and they left. The sheriff knows
the would-be lynchers snd will try
to have them arrested.
There was no lynching in Carroll
