BEATEN TO DEATH 1
THE HORRIBLE FATE OF TWO NK-
URO HURL LARS.
They Kteal a Trunk and Are Taken
Frow the Officers by MaskedMeu
au<l Made Away WHb.
Special to the News.
Woodbury, Ga., April 24.—The
news has just reached town of a most
outrageous crime which was commit
ted near Ifaleigb, about five miles
from here—the killing of one negt*.
perhaps two. The facts as near as
we could get them arc about as fol¬
lows:
On Monday night ol last week the
bouse of Mr. Bryan was entered and
a trunk taken from it. After the
trunk was carried a short distance
from the house it was -broken open
and the contents, which consisted of
tobacco, a pistol and $25 or $30 in
money, were taken therefrom and
the trunk left. As soon as the news
was made known to Officers More-
laud and Jarrell, they went to work
and soon arrested the supposed guil
ty parties, who were Henry Williams
and Bill Parkman, both colored.
Williams was the accused, but he
said Parkman put him up to it and
concealed the goods for him, and a
good many thought so from finding
tbe goods at Parkman’s bouse. But
Parkman denied the charge, said
Willliams was boarding with him
and brought the things to Parkman’s
house and told him to let them stay
till he called lor them, which he did
and didn’t know but what they were
Williams’ goods until the officers
went lor him on Saturday morning.
Thev were taken before F. M. Wad¬
dell, Esq., for a committal trial. Wil
iiams waived trial, but Parkman was
tried and placed under a $150 bond,
which he couldn’t give at rnce.
Officer Moreland, knowing that Park-
man was in very feeble health, depu¬
tised three other men to help gaurd
the prisoners all night, and to give
him (Parkman) a belter chance
get up bondsmen tbe next morning.
While Moreland was eating supper
of fifteen or twenty men
up, well armed, and took the prison
ers from the guards. On seeing the
crowd the alarm was given and as
Moraland started out of his house he
was covered with two shot guns in
the hands of two masked men, so he
said. The prisoners were taken to
wards Cane creek and were seen no
more till next morning. The body
of Parkman was found in tbe swamp
near where the railroad crosses tbe
creek, in a badly mangled condition.
His head and face was badly beaten
up and his feet and legs were badly
burned. In a guliy not far from
where tlie body was found were coal
and ashes and one side of the gully
was perfectly smooth, as though
someone bud been dragged up and
down tbe embankment. It is sup
posed by al! who saw it that the
iyncheis dragged Parkman up and
down the embankment until they
were satisfied and took him to the
bank of the creek, where they left
him. Williams hasu’t been seen
since: it is not known whether he Ss
caped or wist became of him.
The Con ner, Dr, \ddy, was sent
for yesteriuy and an inquest t^as
held that < vening. The following
gentlemen were M. sworn as jurors; Repps iB.
H. Bowdet, J. Brooks,
Dukes, Hamp Jones, Franklen ayd
Bud Jones. B. II. Bowden v^as
made foreman. Two witnesses we^e
introduced, Officer Moreland and
Mr. Hatchett. Morelend was fir
put on the stand and testified abo
as follows:
