Job—The Crowd mid the Jail—The 1‘rlHonwr'o
I'onfbwIoM—Tho I'rlaoner'a llod)-.
Macon Telegraph, 13th.
James Moore was hanged this morning
at 1 o’clock by a mob.
It was thought that the feeling agiiins!
Moore would subside yesterday, and that
the people had about concluded to allow
the law to take its course in the matter.
Such did not prove the case. All day long
there were symptoms of an outbreak, am.
rumors flew thick and fast. Some of these
reports were absurd, though they were
promptly smothered. One was to'the ef
fect that Miss Little had died during the
morning. There was no foundation for
the statement, us Mr. Laney did not come
in town. Another rumor was that two
hundred men on horses would leave Hol
ton at dusk to come in and take Moore from
the jail. Another was that there would be
a meeting of citizens near the East Ten
nessee, \irginia and Georgia railroad cot
ton yard. This rumor proved true.
Shortly after nightfall men were seen
going in the direction ol the old fail-
ground, the rendezvous agreed upon. Bi
ll) o’clock the crowd had increased to large
numbers, and every now and then crowds
were seen quietly moving in that direc
tion. A few men, actuated by curiosity,
went to the corner of the fence around the
Macon and Western shops, but were met
by sentinels. Each man was asked if he
wanted to “be with us,” and if the reply
was yes, he was allowed to pass on. If the
answer was no, or if there was any hesi
tancy, he was told to move away.
THE MOB STARTS.
When the city clock struck the hour of
12, it served to be the signal for the mob
to start from the old fair ground. In
twenty minutes they had arrived in the
jail. The mob seemed to be about three
hundred strong and as they turned the jail
corner from Fifth street the huge crowd at
the jail gave way. The men in advance
wore white masks and carried sledge ham
mers and crowbars. Each man had his
pistol draw’ll and marched into the jail
yard in good order.
On hearing of the approach of the mob,
Sherifl' Westcott put a portion of his posse-
inside the jail, and with several stood upon
the platform leading into the jail office.
Mayor Price entreated the mob to stop,
promising that Moore would have a speedi-
trial. Sheriff Westcott also pleaded with
the mob to stay, but they refused to listen
and soon covered him with a dozen revol
vers. He refused to give them the keys,
and told them that if they got in it would
be by breaking down the doors.
THE ATTACK.
In an instant the sheriff was rushed off
the platform, and a few well-directed licks
from the crowbar broke in the wooden
door which leads into the residence por
tion of the jail.
Once inside, the mob fired off the pistols,
pointing them upward. They were then
met by the heavy iron door which shut
them off from the apartment containg the
cage. They began on this with their
sledge hammers, each blow being distinct
ly heard by the crowd on the outside. It
required twenty minutes of hard work to
break in the door, and when it gave way a
shout went up which was echoed by the
crowd outside. It was a terrible surprise
and the crowd in the yard moved restlessly
about.
When the cage door was opened the mob
rushed in, but Jailer Birdsong and Deputy
Sheriff O’Pry had skipped out by the back
way. They were brought back and dis
playing some dynamite cartridges gave
the jailer three minutes to unlock the com
bination. In the meantime the key to the
corridor had been found hidden under a
lounge in the jailer’s sitting room.
Jailer Birdsong saw that resistance was
useless, and as he had some United StateB
prisoners to protect, he held a hurried
consultation with Sheriff Westcott and
Mayor Price, and then at the point of pis
tols unlocked the combination.
TAKING HIM OUT.
Moore was in a state of nervousness bor
dering on insanity. Two nights of horror,
added to the near approach to death he
had made by his own hands, and the fact
staring him inlthe face that in a moment
more he would be hanging from a limb,
nearly prostrated him. He asked if there
was no protection outside, and if there was
no escape from being mobbed, but the
men said nothing.
The combination unlocked, Moore was
pulled out ol the cell. The act was seen by
some of the crowd on the outside as if in
shadow pantomime through the shade of
the windows. A shout went up, and then
the tramp of the men and their prisoner
was heard on the iron stairs.
The crowd gave way and the mob lost
no time in taking Moore from the jail. He
wore no collar and was bareheaded. The
men who had him rushed out of the gate,
the crowd following. The masked portion
of the mob marched with drawn pUtols,
and allowed no one but their own crowd
to get near him.
The line of march was down Fifth street,
the dust raised by the tramping of hun
dreds of feet nearly blinding the eyes, do wn
Fifth to Cherry, and then down Cherry to
SARAH ROBINSON’S HOUSE.
where Moore last saw Miss Little. The
mob here halted, the maskers keeping
-back the crowd that followed.
When in front of the house Moore was
f laced upon the sidewalk, and, facing the
ouse, was told that if he had anything to
say now was the time. He managed to
speak, but the noise of the crowd pre
vented him from being heard. He said if
he was guilty he did not know it, and
whatever was done was done while he was
drunk. The last he remembered of him
self was when he was at the depot. He
made an appeal to the crowd for mercy.
He was then told to pray, and the crowd
stood back to give him room to kneel.
Moore prayed fervently for his wife and
child and for himself and then as he said
amen, he was raised up, and a call was
made for the rope. There was some delay
in getting the rope, and the time was oc
cupied in tying Moors’s bands behind him.
While this was going ou Moore begged
that his body would not be riddled with
bullets.
the last act.
One of the mob climbed up a large tree
that stood in front of the house at the edge
of the sidewalk. The rope was then tied
around Moore’s neck and the knot placed
behind his right ear. r i he other end ol the
rope was then thrown to the man m ttie
tree and tied to the limb. Moore being held
up by three of the mob. When it was
fastened Moore said: “Lord, have merej
on my soul,” and the three men "'ho held
him moved away. There was a gcigling
sound, but the mob soon saw that the)
had made a bungling job of it. Anoth
man was sent up the tree to adjust t
rope, Moore being again held up. leaat .
“Boys, give me room,” and in two minutes
more fie was allowed to swing again,
drew himself up several tunes, and i
few minutes James Moore was dead.
There were a few calls to bring out Sarah
Robinson, but the mob had agreed prew
ously that they would take only one pel
from the jail. It was also proposed to
burn the house, but this was not listened
to, the mob seeming satisfied with their
m ?ht'bodywas out down ^the
to Sheriff Westcottl who had it sent to the
city ball, where it was laid out.

Union Springs, August 13.—Did you
know Union Springs was as big as Colum
bus? No. Well, it is; not built up as close
of course. It is one mile wide and two
•ong. It is a good, healthy place, and if
we had an artesian well it would be as de
sirable a little town as any one could wish
to live in. The elevation is, I believe, 360
feet above Montgomery.
Mr. H. R. Dudley has returned from New
Orleans, where he purchased chairs for his
opera house.
Captain S. T. Frazer went to Montgome
ry this evening in the interest of the en
campment.
Ex-Governor Watts is here attending*
court.
Marshal Raburn sports a bran new star.
Looks like silver, though some of the boys
say Frank Anderson made it.
It is hot. dry and dusty and rain is badly
needed, not only by us, but it would help
the farmers just now.
“My love, what magic spell is thrown
Upon your face ? Its charm I own.
Whence came thy pure and pearly teeth ?
Thy rosy lips! Thy perfumed breath ?
She said, in accents sweet and clear,
“ ’Tis only SOZODONT, my dear.”
