ty the scene of the double lynching,
confirms the reports, aud adds to the
enormity of the crime. Green McCoy
| and Milt Haley, the victims, before they
1 were murdered confessed that in at-
■ tempting to kill the Brumfields they
I were carrying out a written contract
j made between them am! certain parties,
whose names were not given, the eon-
j sideration for which was $500. A band
of regulators, it is claimed, exists in
that neighborhood, who engage persons
to commit murder. McCoy and Haley
were selected to kill the Brumfields,
who were regarded as very obnoxious.
The alleged lynchers were part of a
posse that were conducting MeCoj* and
Haley to jail. After the Brumfields
had been attacked, the party was form
ed to revenge themselves upon the
Brumfield’s assailants. A dozen of
this party went to the sheriff and ten
dered their assistance to escort McCoy
and Hanley to jail. They were accept
ed, and the party started with the pris-
| oners for the county seat. They were
compelled to remain over night at the
house of a man named George Fry.
During t.ie night, when the sheriff was
asleep the rest of the party took the
prisoners to the woods. Then they de
manded that they confess the Brumfield
murder, and when the prisoners told the
story, twelve men clubbed them until
th *y were insensible. They .then beat
their heads almost to a jelly and strung
them up to a tree. While hanging their
bodies were riddled with bullets.

breath.” Thus writes an eminent Amer-

for the terrible chain of disease that
owe their inception to torpid liver and
consequent impure blood. When the
symptoms of liver and kidney troubles,
consumption (Lung-scrofula), bron
chitis, and dropsy, make their appear
ance the system is in immediate need of
a course of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical

adies that afflict mankind.
