A MAN’S LIFE THREATENED. A Plot to Kill a Prominent Bartow County Citizen. It is Disclosed by ii Negro Who was in Jail With the Thirteen Euliarlee I< inters —A Card From Mr, brake. The neighborhood around Taylors ville and Euharlee are laboring undei another excitement It is the discovery of a plot of a number of negroes to main way with Mr. B, T. Leeke, who, last September, arrested a negro for making a most fiendish attempt at outrage and subsequently quelled a lot of rioters who attempted to release the prisoner. All-. Leeke has received the following letter: Cedartown, Ga., Nov. 1, 1889. Mn. B. T. Leeke —'Dear Sir: Ihaveonr negro in jail here who was in jail at Car tersville with the crowd that you had I put in there, and he will tell you all . about their plans and will be an impor tant witness in the case, as he has heard them talk. He says your life is at stake in the matter; if they get out they in tend to kill you and burn you out. You had better get Sheriff Roberts and come over here at once and get the names ol others that were into the mob, as vou have not got half of them yet. Re doe.- not know their names, but says Mr Kobei t.s will know them who came into liit jail to see those who were prisoners See Roberts and find out what negroes went to the jail to visit the prisoners. Ii is a bad mob, and ought to be pushed to .the full extent of the law. Your friend, J. A. Wilson. Concerning the above Mr. Leake writes 4he following: Taylorsville, Ga., Nov. 8, 1889. E dito RS Court A.N T-AM KItiCAN ; I received the enclosed letter a few days ago from the jailer and deputy sheriff of Polk county, Ga. 1 don’t fear the threats, if openly made. It would be my pleasure to meet the issue by being put ou notice Ten to one. sneaks and incendiary do their cowardly work under the cover ot night. Should they succeed in accom plishing their plans, they w ill not rob me of many days, and I think I have enough friends in this county left, to retaliate without calling on those who hav< bonded a portion of them out and sent them back upou a law abiding commun ity. B. T. Leeke. Manv of the citizens of the community fear that an attempt will be made to carry out the threat, and are preparing themselves for any emergency. The negroes have not been open in theii threats, but have acted in a manner that has excited suspicion. The trouble which Drought about this state of affairs occurred oil the 7th 01 last September. A negro bv the name of James Yarbrough had attempted an outrage on ayounggirl who was staying at the houseof Mr. Leeke. Latent night, when all had gone to bed, the negro forced an entrance into the sleeping apartment of the girl, and making his way to her bedside he pulled the cover down. This was as far as he had gotten for the noise he had made attracted the attention of others in the house. A match was struck and the negro was seen and recognized as hemadehisescape into the darkness. The negro was arrested the next day by Mr. Charlie Leeke, who is a bailiff in that district and a sou of Mr. Bryant Leeke. He was carried to the home of the latter gentleman, where he was guarded until he qould be brought to town and placed in jail. Sunday night following an attempt at rescue was made by the friends of the negro. A band of about fifty excited aud desperate negroes gathered around the house of Mr. Leeke and swore that they would have him. They were armed with shotguns, pistols and knives, and it seemed as if serious trouble would oc cur. It was averted, however, by thecool bravery of Mr. Leeke and his son. Al in ing themselves they stepped out in front of the crowd and informed them that it would be death to the man who advanced a step. With many mutterings and curses and vowing of vengeance the ne groes retreated and it is supposed soon afterward dispersed. Early the next morning Mr. Leeke brought his prisoner to Cartersville and placed him in the county jail. Warrants were sworn out against sev eral of the negroes who had made the attempt at rescueand they were arrested. Two Charges were against them, one for riot and the other for attempt at rescue. At the city court last month the rioters demanded indictment, and their cases will not come up until the January term of the Superior court. Several have given bond. It is hoped uo further trouble will come up and the law be allowed to mete out justice to the depredators. “Standing with reluctant feet, Where the brook and river meet," is a period of “maidenhood’’ which is perilous in the extreme to a vigorous, healthy womanhood.
