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: That he 4ac-4e(! to keep the pit* oners over t ill next, morning to gife Parkman a chance to give bond, anti while he was eating supper a party of men, and some took masked the and some l’rdm n<^, came two negroes the guards- He knew none of tie crowd. Hatchett testified about top same, only he didn’t know whettfcr any of tbe crowd was masked or n<a. The verdict of the jury was thi# “We, the jury, find that Bill wourijs Parla- tpan came to his death from iuflioted by the hands of unkno party The or good partiej.” people of this comm mi *Y and »eigborhood are very inoig they tb „ will .ill spare Sj , a:e no pains m ha*y wi ing ' down toe guilty parties and will see that if captured the guilty p&r-^ ties shall suffer the penalty ot th * 4 law.
