Trouble at the camp had been brew ing for more than a week. The News learned Ldd by James Howard. Washington. IJ. C., Negro, serving a three year sentence for store breaking and larceny, the pris oners continually broke the rules or discipline of the camp, cursed guards anti had to be forced to do,their work They threatened the life of Guard lernlgan and so Intimidated him that he resigned the post, his resig nation coming pfter one of the pris oners had said that he was "goin * shoot yer guts out whep I gits out. which ain't lung now.” Conditions reached such a pass Fri day afternoon that those In charge f t the camp decided that a lashing for ths disturbers was the only solution of the matter. Ths North Carolina statute regulating lashings provides that they must, be witnessed by the t herlff or a doctor When ordered from their rages late - , Friday afternoon, sixteen of the Ne groes at first refused to come. At length seven came from one cuge, leaving only Moselle Hrltt. serving a term for housebreaking and larceny Holding a mattress In front of lilm a" a shield, a guard rushed BHtt. and with the aid of other camp officials Overpowered him, but not until Britt had knocked another guard down by striking him in the face with his fist Eight prisoners In another cage re fused to come out and Sheriff W. D. Grant, his deputies, ahd County En gineer Bam n Bcott with some of his force v|i called to the scene. It was about 10 o'clock when they arrived at the camp. The cage door Was unlock ed and Sheriff Grant mounted Jlhe steps and asked the men If they would, come out peacably. Ills uppeal was met by oaths from the convicts. One of them, believed to have been Howard selxed a short piece of oak wood, used as fuel In heating the cage, and hurled It at Sheriff Grant and those massed about him. The wood whlssed by the heads of the of ficers, and struck deputy sheriff J. C. Korneguy on the hand, slightly Injur ing It. Almost immediately another piece of wood was hurled from the cage, striking the lantern which Sheriff Grant carried and tearing it from his hand. At this Juncture the «i sheriff fired Into the cage But took ’ care to shoot out of tlfte line bunks In which the men were coiw cealed. T “You won’t shoot. Your powtfkr I* wet. and If we die we will go to hell anyway so we had as Well he shot." ” wer * words which had been called from the cage, bccmnpanled bv oaths. The officers then withdrew and re turning to Goldsboro telephoned- George Rm« Pou. superintendent of * Stste Prison. Raleigh, for a supply of tear gas. This arrived yesterday morning, brought by an employee of the prison. About It o’clock Sheriff Grant. Bn . rtneer Scott.’and deputies and heulth Officer Dr. Corbett returned to the t camp .
