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. Life Saved at Death’s Door.
