WOMAN OUTRAGED BY .MASKED MOB Mrs. Josie Starnes, of Union Count}'. Brutally Treated by White Men. Monroe. Xov. B.—The Monroe Jour nal says Mrs. .Tosie Starnes, daughter of Bob Irby of North Monroe, a frail little igoraut woman of not over twenty years of age. was jumped upon by a crowd of masked brutes in the form of men. beat en all over the body with some hard in strument, and left lying in the public be contemptible and brutal deed took place on the Morgan road about a mile from town early in the evening as she was going from Braswell’s store 'to the home of a Mrs. Flynn. She was accompanied %y a companion, Betty Flynn, whe ran when the men grabbed Josie. Mrs. Starnes says that there were certainly as many as ten men and that they were robed in white gowns and caps. She also says that they said noth ing but beat here with something like a leather strap and tlieit kicked, her as she fell. Perhaps from terror, the Journal says, or for other reasons, she did not report the matter to the officers. Sheriff Fowler heard ,of it only by accident while in a bacber shop last Saturday night, just a week afterwards. l)r. Smith was called to see the woman some time last week and found her suf fering a good deal, with bruises and signs of beating about the body, especially severe about the lower- parts and a wound on one breast. A mystery seem to hang over the af fair that indicates that the work was done at the instigation or with the con nivance of someone with a personal in terest in the affair, the paper states. The officials accept! as a fact that she was beaten by nun wearing white sheet djsguises. Further than that, they are at sea. | The little woman does not bear a good reputation but that is beside the question. Any set of grown men who would do a deed of this kind would burn your house over your head and you in it- If the men were white robed as this woman says, it make no difference whether they are Ku Kluxers or not. so far as the guilt of that organization is concerned. It and it only has introduced the white robe and the midnight attack ivpon ignorance and defencelessness, and if a crowd of other hoodlums go out and wear the disguise, it’s illl the same. Any community with men of this type in it is not safe from any kind of cow ardly assault- The officers and responsi ble public sentiment should not rest till this gang is exposed. LITTLE ‘BILLIE* ALIVE. HIS MOTHER ADVISED Obdurate Husband Steadfastly Refuses to Divulge Whereabouts of Their Child. (harlot to. Nov. !>. —Little ‘■Billie' Mclntyre, alleged to have been kid napped October 13 from his home in Richmond, is well. This in formation. given to Tfis frantic little mother, Mrs. Minnie Mclntyre, here to day by Welfare Superintendent M. M. Gray, brought relief from the anguish which had made her hysterical for days. It was her piteous pleadings the past two days in Superior court here, that her husband tell her only if her “baby” were alive, that inspired the public wel fare officer aud ethers to bestir them-, selves to secure information that would partly relieve here distress. Meanwhile the husband and father. M. C. Mclintyre, arrested here Wednes day on a warrant 4rom the Virginia capital, remained unmoved, steadfastly refusing even to assure the frantic wife that the child was alive. His fight for liberty through habeas corpus proceedings ended today when Judge Hardiug denied his petition and ordered that he be held for the Vir ginia authorities* Superintendent Gray did not an nounce if he knew the whereabouts of the 2 1-2 year-old child, but assured his' mother that through the cooperation of the associated charities, it had been as certained that the boy was alive and well.
