BILL TURNER WAS HANGED
IN A STABLE, NOT THEATER
Jackson, G»., Dse. H.—rjjfjie people of
Butts county do not relish the Idea that
has gone abroad In connection with the
execution of BUI Turtles, lire confessed
negro murderer, thkt'tltb occasion was
a grand holiday al>aJf, v ptY<l that the
changing was pulled 4&-. M the opera
houae for the delight ot.aho spectator!
and the pleasure of a matinee crowd.
The truth of the mattsroi* that th#
hanging took place In M\ L. King's
building, which Is used ah a livery sta
ble on the first floor, the second floor
of which was built for an armory for
tho Jackson Rifles, but has never been
occupied as such. The execution took
place In this building for the reason
that It was leased by the county for a
stockade for the county chaingang.
Tho Butts county Jail Is a small
structure, too small to admit of a gal
lows being erected on the Inside of the
building. It was at first planned to
have the execution In the rear of the
Jail In the Jail yard, but It was expected
such an Immense crowd would be In
the city on that day that the wire fence
used as an Inclosure would be broken
down.
The people of Butts countp are as
law-abiding as any In the entire state,
as the record of their actions In this
crime will show. The county has never
had a lynching. There 1 Is no question
but that a lynching would have oc-
currcd In this rase but for the coolness
of those In control.
