I NEGRO IS LYNCHED
(Continued from First Page)
the negro was led to the roadside about
■twenty paces and bunged to a pine tree
and his body punctured with a copious
injectoin of leaden bullets.
The negro never admitted that he
‘was guilty.
Hundreds of automobiles followed
the sheriff's car with the prison and
were on the scene directly after the
negro was killed and for hours people
gathered to view the negro us he lay
hung by the neck across two limbs of
a pine tree about ten. feet from the
ground. And it is said that all night
automobile, wagons and buggies and
men on foot came to the scene of the
hanging, some even blult up fires and
remained all night.
The sheriff never had a .chance to
get away with the prisoner. It is re
ported that every road leading out of
was watched and blocked as
was .the Atlanta road. A car of tour
ists passed the scene about the time
the sheriff's car was halted, and they
were told to “stop on the gas,” the driv
er obeyed with any further persuasion.
Coroner Thompson was notified and
arrived and held an inquest over tin
dead negro’s body. The jury was com
posed of (’. C. Eskridge. L. A. Cook, C.
C. Gregory, Paul Hosch and Ah Mad
dox, and Dr. W. L. Mathews as pliysi
x-ian. The verdict of the coroner’s jury
wus: “We the jury find that Jesse Long
Reed came to his death by gun shot
wounds in the hands of unknown mask
ed men.’’
Sheriff H. O. Camp was called as a
witness and testified ns follows:
“I received) an order from Judge
Fortson about four o'clock to transfer
Reed to the Fulton county jail for safe
keeping, after laying my plans for what
I thought was best for the safe deliv
ery of my prisoner, 1 started la-tween
five and five-thirty o'clock for Atlanta.
I sent in advance Chief of Police Mc-
Eiroy and my son. Clay-, to make sure
the road was clear, a*nd with a few
minutes followed with the prisoner,
my son, Hoke, and Mr. Jeff Henson
driving Mr. It. L. Rogers Buick, which
lie had tendered me for making tla
trip. As we approached a point about
800 yards above Mr. Summerour’s place
on the Atlanta road, I observed about
half a dozen cars parked on the road
side. As we drew up the cars closed in
and blocking our passage, immediately
a dozen or more pistols were thrust
into our faces and my prisoner demand
ed. I plead with the men to let me
keep my prisoner and give him a fair
trial unedr the law. The negro was
jerked from the car ointo his head in
the road and we were ordered to drive
on.”
On direct examination the sheriff
said: “I did not recognize any of the
uie-ii as they wore masks.”
Mr. J. V. Henson was called and liis
testimoney supported that of the sher
iff.
Chief of Police E. O McElroy testi
tied as followed.
“Acting under instructions of Sher
iff Camp, I, together with Clay Camp,
left in advance of the car with the
prisoner, to see if the road was clear.
,We drove around about way before
coming into the Atlanta road in order
to throw those about the jail and per
haps some who were watching, off the
trail. I had removed my badge in or
<der not to appear as an officer of the
law. As we cdme to the place where
the negro was killed we were told to
move on at points of pistols. We drove
a little further on and were in the act
of returning to Winder by another
route in order to notify the sheriff,
when we. were again held up and our
purpose evidently detected, as we were
n t allowed to go further. A few min
tin' occasion and Mrs. Hazer’s prophe
cy were given b.v the different guesis.
Covers were laid for six. The invited
guests were Miss Ida Kilgore, Mrs.
Price Hazer. Miss Helen Arnold, Miss
Susie B. Perkins, Miss Sara Lowe and
Miss Roselle Ross.
