TIIE WEEKLY GWINNETT HERALD
A Second Mode* l„g|it,’
In 18.3t>, three negroes in Frank
lin County Ga.. committed ti Lru
tit! assault upon u young white
woman, a Miss Stowe, and nfier
their hellish de J murdered bet
in a most heinous manner. After
cut. ing htr person with knives,
.Hid finding life still tot extinct
the lituJs placed ihe ciris ueck he
ween a chestnut stump suiL. rooi
•tml endeavored to break lier neck
Failing in this, too, the negroes
With their hands deliberutoh cLok
cd her to death, and concealed the
I'ody in a dense copse of woods.
The Vietiui was a poor girl, uud a
domestic in the funiily of a man
mimed Shockley, a merchant. The
girl was soon missed, an 1 a search
instituted for her. It was con in
uad unsuccessfully for three days.
Mr. Sunon Marks, of Athens, bo
ing one of die parly, and > v as pres
eut at the finding of the body.-
Ihe sealch hud almost been giv
en up, when a young negro boy,
wbo was pre.en , remarked to tiie
men that if (hey looked in a ctr
tain skir. ol woods they would
linil the body. They did so and
found the poor girl just, as the
b>v stat 1. Her holy i_liow.nl
signs of the most horrible treat
ment, and ttie indignation of the
»• unity was at fever heat. The
boy wbo told where the body could
be found was at once arrested and
placed in the Carnesv.lie jail, but
lie bi torly denied knowing any
hiug about lie murder, Deiec
t ves Were set at work, and .it was
not long before two other negroes
an old man named Lank and his
son Jerry, were arrested. They
belong, d to a Mr. Mangrutn, and
the only evi lence against them
was that the dead girl, in compa
ny with another woman, was seen
t) pass wnere they were at work,
when t lie negroes jumped over
the fenc ■ and followed them, soon
afterwards Miss Stowe's compan
ioi. parted company with her, and
this was the last time the pool
g'r) was seen a ive. The negroes
were put ou triai, but they bitter
ly denied their gniP, and state 1
that, a wlii'e man was at the bot
om of the murder Lank and his
son Were convicted, however, and
publicly executed in Caine viile
Tney died protesting their inno
cence. The negro boy was next put
upon trial, and Gen. Tom Cobb,
after promise of a half interest in
the negro, made an earnest but
fruitless effort to save his life.—
He, too, was hanged. Soon aftei
the execution of the negroes,
atradge stories were told about
the place where the body of Miss
Stowe was found. It is a lonely
and desolate spot, and unnatural
sounds were beard there at night
i.ud mysterious figures seen. Tito
eiera by night would avoid it, and
it became known its the “Haunted
Hollow-” But these sounds and
ghost ly figures were never traced
to any authentic scource. There
was howeve’’, one sight iliat Was
witnessed on ihe night after the'
negroes were executed, and it is
said to be seen to this day. A ball
of firs, at a regular hour, is seen
to rise from the very spot where
the body of Miss Si owe was found
and float {pi hours through the
woods. Time and again has it
been followed, but the light titts
before the approach of man, and
can never be approached except ut
a certain (list"uce. It advances
or retreats just as the person
walks. We have this week con
versed with several rcsponible gen
tlemen from that, secuou cf Frank
iiu county, and they toil us they
•have seen it many times. Th s
light does not have any power f
illumination, but is simply a bail
of “dead tire,” as some express it,
suspended |in the air. Lieuteu
aut (loodruui, of the Athens po_
Jioe force, tells us that ht has seen
this light hundreds of times, hav
ing lived in sight of the fated spot
for a number of years. NY hen he
lilst moved to the settlement the
people told him that the firm lie
Occupied was haunted, but having
no superstition about him, he did
not credit the story. But on the
tiiHt night, in throwing his eye to
the clump of woods where the
murder hud been committed, he
distinctly saw the red ball, and
for nearly every night, rain 01
shine, vi Idle he lived on the place
Lawrenceville Georgia, Tuesday May 13 1884
J; never approached the house dr
‘eft its usual bent, and hence tim
sight gave him no uneasiness.—
Sti ungere in passing along the
road have often been startled bv
the light, but the people living
i ear had grown so accustomed t >
'■he vision that they quit talking
about it. Bud he would never have
thought of it again, had his atten
tioa not been directe 1 'o the
4 /fainted Hollow by reading an
account of ••Jude s Light,” near
A lant-i. Lieut. Goodrum says
that the last tit e he conversed
with a gentleman who lived in hat
neighborhood lie stated that the
light continues ‘to appear. 11 e
gentlemen with whom we corners
ed are altogether reliable, and
there is tin doubt •• bout the truth
of this story; but whether it is
caused fro u supernatural or ordi
nary causes we leave to the teat er.
