GRIFFIN DAILY NEWS
GEORGIA TOWN IN
Austell, Ga., Dec. 18.—This town
was ih arms last night, the streets
deserted, homes dark, a single
lamp here and there marking the
tension and graphically demonstra
ting to anyone bold enough to be
out from cover that inside these
quiet houses, men waited for the
next move in what one element
calls “the fight to drive lawless
ness and mob violence from Aus
tell foreVer.”
In one of the largest homes of
Austell—just a few steps from the
main artery of the village—lies
Charles J. Shelverton, Jr., 25 years
old, son of C. J. Shelverton, who
for 20 years was mayor of the
town and held other high execu
tive positions.
Writhing in Pain.
He was writhing in pain from
treatment accorded him late
Thursday night at the hands of
14 unmasked men. „
They horsewhipped him, beat
him with a so-called convict strap
and finally rained blows on his
head and shoulders with the butts
of sawed-off shotguns and clubs.
Then they left him almost in
sensible, buried beneath a mass of
shrubbery.
Post $500 Reward.
Dr. L. G. Garrett, chairman of
the board of commissioners of
Cobb county, Friday night an
nounced that a reward of $500
would be posted for any informa
tion leading up to the apprehen
sion of the night riders. Dr. Gar
rett is a close friend of the Shel
vertons and is the family physi
cian.
C. J. Shelverton, Sr., amplified
announcement of this reward by
adding that he personally, would
begin a campaign to “raise any
amount necessary to bring these
brutes to justice.
To See Governor.
He added that Roy, another son,
had communicated with the office
of Governor Clifford Walker late
Friday and Saturday would call
on the governor personally and
ask state aid in investigating the
matter and ridding Austell of mob
violence.
Mr. Shelverton stated that he
was certain the state would double
the $500 reward offered by Dr.
Garrett, as this has been done in
previous cases.
The elder Mr. Shelverton said
the Ku Klux Klan had already
dispatched a special detective to
Austell on the case and would add
to the reward. i
