TWO NEGROES LYNCHED
BY MfflTOH CROWD
Black, Who Killed Conductor
Thompson, and Slayer of
Tarham, Shot to Death.
Augusta, Ga., Feb. 25.—Bob Jones,
the negro who fatally shot Conductor
W. W. Thompson, at Camak, on the
Georgia railroad Thursday night,
(Capt. Thompson’s death occurring
Friday) was taken from the Warren
county Jail at midnight Friday by a
mob of about 200 Infuriated citizens
and lynched.
John Veazy, another negro In the
Jail, who was charged with the mur
der of C. E. Tarham, two months ago,
was also lynched.
The mob quietly dispersed, and
this morning Warrenton was as quiet
as a small town can be. The negro,
who was with Jones at the time Cap
tain Thompson was shot, has not yet
been apprehended and the mob took
advantage of Sheriff Brinkley’s ab
sence with his porse looking for the
negro, to enter the Jail and lynch
Jones and Veazey. At 11 o'clock this
morning the two negroes were still
hanging from a tree near the town,
their bodies riddled with bullets.
Mr. Fitzpatrick, a prominent citi
zen of Warrenton, said over the loin
distance telephone today, that the
mob entered the town about midnight
and with a heavy Instrument pried
open the door of the pall. They took
the two negroes from their cells and
quietly led them to the outskirts of
the town. The next thing that the
inhabitants heard was a fullisade of
shots and then all was still.
This morning the bodies of the ne
groes were seen swinging from limbs
of the same tree.
It is stated that the mob wag not
composed of Warrenton citizens, and
Mr. Fitzpatrick stated that he did
not know where they came from.
Much indignation was caused two
months ago when John Veazy, one of
the negroes lynched last night, is said
to have murdered Mr. Tarham, a
prominent citizen of Warren county.
The officials of the Georgia railroad
have not received any details of the
affair last night, although they were
informed early this morning by their
agent at Warrenton that the negroes
had been lynched."
The search for the other negro
who was with Jones at the time Cap
tain Thompson was shot, continues,
although It is not stated what chances
there are for capturing him.
