Brutal Assault on Person of Young
White Woman by
NEGRO NAMED WILL JACKSON.
Woman Alone In Field. When As
sault Was Made—Trial
Swiftly Ordered
An assault was made on the per
son of a yonng white woman by a
negro, near this city last Monday
afternoon.
Mr. Smith, an industrious,
inoffensive farmer who has laud
leased from Mr. Miles Dobbins was
picking cotton in a field situated
west of the Ladd Lime works about
a half mile, the distance from
Cartersville being about four and a
half miles.
It is a lone field surrounded en
tirely by woods. A road runs
through the field that is used for
hauling wood and for reaching two
or three small places in that local
ity.
Will Jackson, a negro employed
by Judge J. W. Harris, was driv
ing this road, with which he was
familiar, having hauled wood over
it, using Judge Harris’ horse and
buggy, and was going with the
family laundry to a negro woman’s
a little distance beyond the Dob
bins field. The negro knew Smith,
and coming up stopped to talk with
him as he was emptying some cot
ton in baskets, preparatory to tak
ing it to his house, about a half
mile away. It was the (tinner hour
and Smith told his wife in the ne
gro’s presence, unthoughtedly
that he would take the cotton on
and would then go to town; that
she could come on when through.
Smith and his wife had taken their
dinner to the field and had their
two and a half year old babe where
they could watch it near the has-.
kets. The negro drove on ‘ first
and was soon overtaken by Smith,
who passed him as he was watering
his horse at the branch, giving him
a chew of tobacco he asked for.
The negro, knowing Mrs. Smith
was akme in the field, returned to
where she was. He left the horse
hitched to the buggy standitog in
the road and going up to her seized
her violently, slapped her in the
face and threw her to the ground,
planting one hand over tha mouth
and the other with a vica like grip
over her throat. A tombie scuffle
ensued in which the woman was
badly bruised a large boulder lay
ing where she was shoved down
and making painful bruises about
her shoulders. Several of her
teeth were knocked loose and her
face was badly scratched and
bruised. While the negro thus
tussled with the woman his horse
starting off attracted his attention
and also a noise as if a vehicle was
coming, and the woman slightly
freed uttered wild screams. The
negro ran to his vehicle and reach
ing it drove swiftly away. The
woman, weakened by the unequal
struggle and overcome by fright
and excitement, picked up her
babe and made her way as swiftly
as possible to her home where she
found her husband, not yet gone to
town and told him the storv of her
experience. He got his pistol,
mounted his horse and started
to town and soon met with Dr.
Baker, who induced him to give
him his pistol, as the Doctor feared
he might use it rashly.
Sheriff R. L- Griffin was notified
and At once went out to fin’d the
negro, Constable Frank Watkins
and Will Goode and Howard Lay
ton accompanying him.
The negro hurried to Judge
Harris’ home where he hitched
hitched the horse hastily to a rack
and told the cook he was going
away for a little while; that he had
got in a little scrape, but not give
him away. He took the Cassvile
road afoot with his valise in his
hand, and was seen by Mr. Walter
Satterfield running to catc-h up
with a wagon. The negro intend
ed going to his brother's who lives
on the Munford faum, eight miles
out.
The officers with these facts to
guide them, followed and near the
farm of Dr. W. E. Thompson, just
above Cass Station, Mr. Griffin
riding alone saw the negro enter
the road between two fields then
quietly rode up aud arrested him.
The negro said to Mr. Griffin: “Do
not take me to town they wiH kill
me.” The negro was hurried by
the sheriff aud his men and quick
ly put in jail, th* arreet and mar
ceration being accomplished in a
few hours after the deed, for whEh
excellent wo. k the sheriff r r
great credit. A considerable
crowd gathered near the jail, in
which wag the husband of,the wo.
' man, who once made a rush at the
; negro as if to do him violence, but
I he was restrained.
Mr. Griffin and Judge Fite made
: temperate talks to the crowd, urg
! ing that the law ought to be allow
-led to take its course and the for
-1 iner affirming that he intended to
I protect the negro.
As soon as the assault became
generally known excitement arose
and mutterings were heard which
seemed to presage an effort to deal
summarily with the negro. At
night men having came in from the
country a crewd gathered about
the streets,and it is pretty certain if
a leader had shown himself a march
on the jail would have been made.
The crowd dispersed at a late hoar
and talk of lynching was freely
indulged in.
Judge Fite at his own and the
instance f good citizens, called a
special session of court for this
morning to try the negro. A grand
and traverse jury has been sum
moned.
Tuesday uight, fears of a lynch
ing being felt, Sheriff Griffin took
his prisoner from the jail and
boarding the northbound arternoon
train and carried him away.
Tuesday uight a crowd formed
in the outskirts of town w'ith the
evident purpose of lynching the
negro, and hearing that the woman
was having convulsions only added
fire to their puipose and determin
ation. They were told the negro
had been carried away but were
slow to believe it, and men from
the crowd went lo the jail and the
jailer, Mr. Bradley, being apprised
of what might be attempted
thought it best to satisfy them
about the matter and carried them
through the jail to see for them
selves that the negro was not there.
KILLING NEAR STILESBORO-
One Negro Shoots Another at a
Dance Last Thursday Night,
A killing occurred at a negro
dance on John Fleming’s place,
near Stilesboro, last Thursday
night.
David Thomas with a banjo was
furnishing the music for the dance,
it is said, when Pink Carter insist
ed on playing and a dispute arose
between the two. Thomas, at last
in a rage sard “I’ll play this banjo
here or I’ll play it in h— ll.” Car
ter instantly drew from his pocket
a revolver and said: ‘‘Well I guess
you’ll play it in hell then.” Pointing
the pistol at Thomas’ breast lie fired
and the ball entered the negro’s
body, but slightly missing the
heart. Carter lied immediately
and though March has been made
for him he ha* not yet been ap
prehended.
The shooting was done between
twelve and one o’clock and Thomas
lived until 8 o'clock the next morn
ing.
Both negroes are very well
known in Cartersville, having
lived here until recently.
