According to Park Commissioner
Manley, on whose porch the tragedy
occurred, the work of the mob was
short and swift. The murder of Offi
cer Heard had aroused bit friends to
a high pitch of excitement The ven
geance of the mob was at unexpected
at it was swift.
Citizens all along Crew street had
retired for the night, though many
were resting uneasily as a result of
the attack on the county policemen
close by. Some time after 10 o’clock
firing was heard and coming toward
the city caused the greatest alarm.
Citizens rushed to their front doors,
not knowing whether officers were
pursuing criminals, or whether a ne
gro mob was attacking the residents
of the street.
The car on which the negroes were
being brought to the city had been
•topped by the mob at the corner of
Crew and Jefferson streets. In the
melee the negroes escaped from the
officers, and ran up Crew, with the
mob In full pursuit.
As the residence of Commissioner
Manley was reached the negroes ran
Into the yard for refuge, evidently
having given up hope of outrunning
the outraged men In their wake. As
the two black men reached the front
steps both fell, and Instantly the mob
was over them, pouring shot, after
shot Into their prostrate bodies.
Thinking its work completed, the
mob dispersed as quickly is It had
gathered. By the time Commissioner
Manley reached his porch every sign
of the mob had vanished. The ne
groes were thought already dead, but
Mr. Manley asked for the hospital am
bulance, and the blacks were taken
to the Grady hospital, where it was
found that both were still alive.
The state militia is in command of
the suburbs, the city is being patroll
ed by an Increased force of police
and the 300 additional deputies sworn
In by Sheriff Nelms has begun the
disarmament of negroes who threaten
public safety.
Such was the situation Tuesday af
ter a night of desperate rioting In
the county districts In which a police
man was killed from ambush, many
negroes reported dead, several offi
cers wounded and a number of ne
groes shot.
Following the battle In Brownsville
district, 2 miles south of Atlanta,
Monday night, the state militia en
tirely surrounded that section, and by
daylight Tuesday mornlhg had cap
tured 257 negroes, w-ho were disarm
ed and sent to the Tower. As fast
as reports are receiyed from outlying
districts, the militia will be Immedi
ately dispatched and npgroes who are
creating’disorder will be surrounded
arrested and Jailed.
In Atlanta a crusade was begun
against lawless negroes early Tues
day morning when Sheriff Nelnts
swore In 300 additional deputies, who
will visit every negro section and
arrest negroes found armed and will
send them'to the Tower. While every
ue nouia uo so as soon as ne re
ceived supplies, which, he said. Gov
ernor Terrell had ordered bywwlre.
Marlon Peters, a negro, who Is
thought to have been Implicated In the
assassination Monday night of Coun
ty Officer Heard, was captured at an
early hour Tuesday morning by Dep
uties Fryer, Crabtree, McIntyre and
Oounty Policemen Poole, Wright and
Oliver. He has been lodged in the
Tower and will be held pending the
action of the grand Jpry. •
A trail of bkmd leading from the
scene of Monday night's battle led to
the capture of, Peters. The officers
followed the blood stains and located
Peters in a hut not a great distance
from the scene, He was In bed.
When placed under arrest, the ne
gro protested , his Innocense, and,
among other things, claimed he. bad
neither arms nor ammunition.
The officers searched the house and
found two shotguns; together with 100
rounds of ammunition. They are sat
isfied that Peters was Implicated In
Monday sight's affair at Brownsville,
and It Is their purpose to prosecute
him to the extent of the law.
At the Instance of Johnson £ Ma
lone. well-known negro lawyers, the
chief of police Tuesday morning is

city, or other place where negroes
are likely to collect Members of the
police department were notified by
the chief .to vigorously enforce the
order, and within- a few minute* after
It was Issued the few negroes who
were In the center of the city we.*e

calling for the closing of low bar

Two negroce, Sam McGruder anJ
Wiley Brooks, both about 30 years
of age, were shot td pieces at 10:30
o’clock Monday night on tha front
porch of Park Commissioner Robert
H. Manley, 191 Crew street, having
been taken from an Incoming Lake-
wood car, on which connty officers
were bringing them to the city on the
charge of baring been membert of
the negro band which Monday night
assassinated County Policeman Jim
Heard.
Both negroes were taken to the
Grady hospital, where It was report
ed early Tuesday morning that Be-
Gruder was sure to die, while Brooks
assurance of protection Is offered
innocent negroes, any sign of dis
order among lawless classes will not
be tolerated for an Instant, and those
who are discovered inciting trouble
will be instantly apprehended and
removed.
The crisis now rests with the ne
groes themselves. Those who will
give up tbelr weapons and remain
peaceful will not be molested. How
ever, those who persist in making
trouble for the citizens, police and
militia will be promptly and rigidly
dealt with by the officers of the law.
The authorities are convinced that
they have the situation well In hand,
and they will do all possible to pre
vent any recurrence of the trouble of
the last 12 hours, ending Tuesday at
daybreak.
The different riots of the night
caused the authorlUes to adopt the
most stringent regulations Tuesday
morning. As soon as the death of
Policeman Heard was reported a com
pany of militia was Instantly dispatch
ed to the scene. Boon after their ar
rival they had captured 257 of the
rioters, had killed One, and arrested
L. J. Price, negro postmaster, who is
said to have supplied the negroes
with ammunition and incited them to
their uprising against the white peo
ple. '
The outlying negro suburbs are be
ing closely watched and special cars
are held In readiness to carry the
troops to the scenes if any outbreaks
occur.
As soon as he was notified of the
riots in Atlanta Sheriff Nelms called
for additional deputies, to visit the
negro sections and search for con
cealed ammunition. This Is one of
the wisest moves that could be made
by the authorities. With the negroes
disarmed there will be little violence
from this class.
No rioting la expected further on the
part of the whites unless the negroes
cause trouble, and the situation de
pends entirely upon them from now on.
Over 300 additional deputies were
sworn Into the service of Fulton coun
ty Tuesday morning by Sheriff John
W. Nelms. He stated that ho did not
bave sufficient arms with which to
equip bis new aides, but added that

He was met by three negroes about
3 o'clock near the railway crossing.
One spoke to him about the trouble
in Atlanta, the otiters went In a side
street. Mr. Mason called on them

when he drew his gun. While re
loading he was struck from behind
and remained unconscious tor over
an hour. He is now in a dangerous
condition.
The three negroes are how In Cobb
