Lynching in Baker County
Three negroes, George McKin
ney, Garfield McCoy and Wiley
Annette, were taken from the jail
at Newton early Friday morning
by a mob of masked men and
lynched.
Jailer Screws was aroused
shortly after midnight by Bailiff
Tucker, who announced that he
had a prisoner for the jail The
lailer went with him and as he
opened the front door of the jail
masked men sprang from the
darkness, covered him with revol
vers and demanded that he open
he inner door. He was compelled
to obey, whereupon the mob seized
their victims and rapidly left with
them. They ^proceeded about a
mile from Newton where they
hung the three negroes to the
lirilb of a tree and filled their bod
ies with bullets.
During the excitement at the
jail, a negro murderer, James
Story, made good his escape.
The crime that provoked ' the
lynching was the murder of Mr.
F. S. Bullard, a farmer living near
Peace, in Baker county. A large
party of negroes were attending a
frolic given on Saturday night by
one of the hands on Mr. Bullard's
place, a number of them had been
drinking and became ungoverna
ble, Mr. Bullard was sent for and
when he entered the room the
three negroes lynched, pulled their
guns and began firing at him. He
was mortally wounded and Jdied a
few days later. Eight others were
also wounded.
The lynching was entirely un
expected and is greatly regretted
by the people of Baker. Mr. Bul
lard’s wife is a hopeless invalid
and his family is left in a destitute
condition. This fact doubtless
influenced the mob.
