Galdsboro—Special to Morning Post, 25. —Mrs. Willie Smith, the victim of a most heinous outrage has been aveng*d. Tom Jones, her ra visiter, has iqrt summary puuishment at the hands of neigh bors and friends of the woman. The formality of hanging was dis pensed with. His captors just took him out and shot him to death. Not since Mrs. Smith was out raged by the negro Toui Jones, in ludian Springs township in this county, on Friday afternoon, hare the people of that section ceased their efforts to capture the brute and bring him to justice. Both night and day have the male population of the community searched every swamp that might afford shelter. As they went from neighborhood to neighborhood people quit their work and joined in the search on Saturday and on yesterday (Sun day), which is nsnally observed by rest and quiet and by attendance upon divine worship, there was no cessation from the chase. As the day advanced the purstircrs weu awarded by a report that the negro they wanted had been seen to cross a creek iti Duplin county some eight or ten miles distant. The crowd which then nrmbcred sever al hundred p?oplc put out in the direction where the negro was re ported to have l*cn seen. The lo cality was several miles from ■ railroad or telegraph station and nothing further could be learned until this morning, when a tele gram was received from Sheriff Scott stating that he had heard that the negro had been caught. An other message from Mt. Olive was received here stating that the neg ro had been caught near Branch's Store in Duplin county, and that several people from Mt. Olive had gone in that direction. Sheriff Scott went to the scene of the crime yesterday afternoon niul returned to the city last night- He heard the report here that the negro had been seen in Duplin couutv and this morning he left for Mr. Olive, where he heard the news which he telegraphed back here to his deputy. In the mean time the people had telegraphed to Dunn for bloodhounds which lie long to the State farm. They were brought here this morning and the keeper of the dog* went down to Mt. Olive with Sheriff Scotti... During the excitement here this morning over the news of the cap ture of the negro a telegram was received here addressed to Sheriff Scott and signed by \V. R. Sim mons from Seven Springs, which adds new interest to the story. The telegram read as follows: "Seven Springs, N C., Aug. 25. "Sheriff Scott, Goldsl>oro, N. C.: "Negro found dead near Monroe Rich's house at 10 o'clock. Conic at once. "W. R. SIMMONS." Upon receiving this news the sheriff set out immediately for Seven Springs, accompanied by several citizens of Goldsborn, in cluding The I'pst correspondent Tills correspondent arrived upon the scene of (lie lynchittg about 5 o'clock in the afternoon. It b a desolate spot at the terminus of a trmn railway upon whicli is liaulcd juniper logs to Nen.se river which is about three miles distant. On driving up near the scene where the negro was lynched a few bug giex and horses tied here and there gave evidence that a number of people had gathered in the same community. The company with The Post correspondent alighted from the vehicle in an old pine field and from those already on the scene it was learned lh*t tfce corpse tftf dead uegro was lying by the 'side of the tram road about 300 yards away. The little group walked slowly until we came upon a cluster of men who were sitting on (lie cross ties in the midst of a juniper swamp. On the left of the road near by a stump lay the lifeless body of a uegro. His broken and bruised face told the story; a glance was sufficient.
