Mob Violence.
s.KK'lal to The Georgian.
. Macon, Ga., Oct. 8.—Quiet has pre-
vailed In Macon since yesterday morn-
ln * he re has been no attempt anywhere
at on outbreak since the militia gained
control early Sunday morning and the
threatened clash between the two races
has abated nt least for the present.
Violence which seemed so apparent
everywhere up to daylight Sunday
morning, did not occur, and while
there have been slight expressions of
HI feelings toward the negroes gener
ally, the one purpose of getting pos
session of Henry Fews, or Hughes, the
negro who shot W. Q. Solomon and
Charlie Adams, has been supreme. His
removal to Atlanta yesterday after
noon and the open announcement of
this fact from the police station has
relieved all citizens of further fear.
Prisoners Recaptured.
During the storming of the Bibb
county jail Saturday night and Sunday
morning two prisoners charged with
murder escaped, but their stay away
from the Jail was a short one. These
prisoners were Monk and 'Joe Curtis,
two white men and brothers, who are
held for the murder of Joe Newsome In
the bloody battle at Hell’s Point, some
weeks ago. In that battle Newsome
was killed and Joe Curtis had his skull
fractured. The prisoners occupied
hospital cell on the first floor, but when
several shots were fired Into this cell,
Jailer Hubbard removed them to an
other cell, from which the mob re
leased them. Out In the cold night

Shooting Causal Riot,
It waa while fully a thousand people
crowded the Circle, at the fair grounds,
Saturday night, that Henry Fews, a
country negro from Dry Branch, Qa„
emptied his pistol at W. Q. Solomon,
Jr,, and C. M. Adams, Jr., wounding
both, the former being fatally shot.
There are several stories as to what
led up to the shooting, but nt»ne of them
show' that the negro had good cause
for his bloody deed. It is said the ne
gro was pushing his way through the
crowd in a boisterous manner and had
almoat knocked a couple bf ladles down.
According to the story of an eye wit
ness, the two young men remonstrated
with the negro for his conduct, and
when he replied Insolently he was
knocked down by them. Then he flash
ed his gun. Three shots were fired In
rapid succession and young Solomon
sank to the ground. After a slight In
terval the negro flred his two remain
ing shots and young Adams fell.
Crowd Gathered.'
By this time people began flocking
to the scene of the shooting and as
Fews broke from the crowd and ran,
dozens of people started In pursuit. The
Circle is surrounded by a high wire
fence nnd it was this fence that pre-

vented the negro’s escape. While
deavoring to get through he waa
caught by Detective Amerson, and then
began the struggle to get him to the
temporary barracks at the fair grounds.
Hardly had Fewa been reacued from
one mob nt the fair grounda, bent on
lynching him and placed In a cell at
police headquarters than another mob
quickly formed Around the city hall
and within fifteen mlnutea thla one waa
swelled by the crowds at the fair
grounds, from which the negro had
been taken.
Police Rezerves Called Out.
The police reserves were called out
and formed a line across First street,
preventing an entrance to ■ the police
department, but each minute it seemed
as If the mob would get a leader and
the trouble begin. Inside twenty men
were stationed ready for the crowd,
should the members break through the
police line In the street and get Into
the corridor. The'leader for whteh the
mob looked soon made his appearance
and shouting for the crowd to follow
him he started toward the entrance to
the barracks. Then It was that Chief
Conner took a stand which probably
prevented bloodshed. He ordered the
Jcader to be hauled out of the crowd
and locked.up. Patrolman Coley fought
his way In the surging mass of human
ity' and after a tight brought out the
man and locked him up.
The mob tried to follow, but was
beaten back by the line of police. In
the meantime two riot calls had been
sounded and the soldiers were anxious
ly waited for. While the police were
having troubles of their own at the
city hall keeping back the surging mob
and anxiously waiting for the militia,
another mob was clamoring around the
county Jail demanding admittance.
Sheriff Robertson, Jailer Hubbard and
others assured the members of the
mob that Fews was not In the Jail, but
this was not believed. A number of
men and boys hastened to the yards of
the. Central of Georgia railway and
secured crow bars and a piece of steel
rail to bo used as a battering ram.
' Doors Batterod Down.
While one crowd worked with crow
bars at the side entrance, knocking
holes through the brick wall, another
crowd was In the corridor of the resi
dence portion of the jail battering
away nt the steel door which led to
the Inside of the first part nt the Jail
where the hospital cells are situated.
The pleadings of Sheriff Robertson did
no good and thla door was smashed
down. Bricks were knocked from
around two other dgors.
Pistol shots were flred and bricks
hurled at the windows and many were
broken. Finally the high sheriff of
fered to allow part of the mob to go
through the Inside of the Jail to see
that the negro was not there nnd when
Inside a member of the crowd flred
Into the cage where the negro prisoners
were confined and the bullet struck
Percy Campbell In the hip, but did not
seriously wound him’
The militia began arriving at the
city hall and enough force could then
be spared to send to the Jail. The Ma
con Hussars, under Captain Wheeler,
and a squad of police were sent to the
Jail. While the militia corralled the
mob In the street nnd dispersed It,
the police went Into the Jail and cleaned
It out.
Then the whole crowd was followed
by police and soldiers and headed off
from the city hall, where It was feared
a Junction with the other mob would be
made and an attempt made to storm
police headquarters.
At that hour, however, about half
the Volunteers, more than half of the
Hussars and about the same number
of the Floyd Rifles were on duty and
this show of forep calmed down the
m The soldiers remained on duty all
night and yesterday while the police
reserves were quartered In the city hall
until the negro left for Atlanta at 1:30
o’clock yesterday afternoon.
SAY THAT DOCTOR
KILLED WIFE WITH
GLASSAND POISON
Mother of Brouwer, on Day
of Trial, Declares Him
Innocent.
Toms River, N. J., Oct.' 8.—Dr.
George Frank Brouwer sras placed on
trial today In the county court charged
with the murder of his wife by_ admin
istering poison and ground glass.
The most startling development prior
to the opening of the trial was the re
port that the prosecution would place
on the stnnd a new witness, a physi
cian. who was the only medical man
who made a diagnosis of Carrie Brou
wer’s condition before she died.
This witness will swear that he
found the woman In convulsions and
suffering great agony, and that strych
nine poisoning entered his mind during
his observations of the suffering of the
woragiy.
”1 am'ns certain that Frank Brou
wer murdered his wife as I am that
am sitting here talking to you.’’ said
Prosecutor Brown today to a reporter
before the trial began.
"I believe absolutely In the Inno
cence of my son. I wait with Impa
tience the trial which will free him.
He has been the victim of outrageous
abuse,” said his mother.
