Johnson, white, from jail there about 1 o’clock this morn ing, and carried him a quarter of a mile from town, where they hanged him and riddled his body with bullets. The jail door was broken down, and when the sheriff hesitated abou/ turning over the keys, the mob threatened to shoot Johnston in his cell.

THE ATLANTA FERTILIZER MEN Who Were Indicted by that Federal Grand Jury at Nashville Don't Want to Talk. Special to The Herald. Atlanta, Ga., May 28.—Atlanta men •who were Included In the number of fertilizer men Indicted by the grand Jury at Nashville, Tenn., on a charge of violating the law which Is designed to curb trusts of all kinds, decline to discuss the matter. Copies of the In dictment have not been received In Atlanta, and It will probably be some days before they are. It Is understood that there are two charges—one of violating the Sherman anti-trust law, alleging conspiracy to control the output of fertilizer, and the other a charge of conspiracy to combine to regulate trade and com merce and Thus violate the laws of the United States. These Indictments are returnable to the October term of the federal court at Nashville, and when the cases are called It is ex pected that some nice legal points will be raised. One of the most important points that it is probable will be made Is the question of jurisdiction. Owing to the prominence of the men Indicted along with the fertilizer com panies the case has attracted much attention all over the country and the outcome of the matter will doubtless be watched with considerable interest. iRIDGE GANGMAN’S HIGH TUMBLE.

Williams, who does not live here, spent yesterday with congenial friends in revelry and carousal.

When he reached the trestle, a high wind was blowing, and his hat fell off, lodging in falling on a timber projection of the trestle, fifteen feet below. He started after It, and as a reward for this foolhardy act lost his balance and fell to the ground be low, a distance of twenty-five or thirty feet. In spite of the distance of the fall, no damage was done with the ex ception of a broken collarbone. This was set and two negroes who knew him put up enough money to carry him out of town.
