s:: rmod the jail here and after
a'lacking the sheriff and taking
his keys from him secured the

Mrs. (’. C. Williams.
They took him to a corner in
the business part of the town

tree, riddled the body with bul
lets.
According to Sheriff E. S.

the ringleaders in the yard of
the jail, three others slipped be
hind and dealt him unconscious.
'1 hey then secured his keys and
made away with the prisoner.
The assault on Mrs. Williams
is said to have been unusually
brutal. Her husband, a promi
nent young farmer, was away
ft .un home when the negro slip
j d into the house yesterday af
i noon and before Mrs. Williams
could offer arm resistance he
S’ zed her and threw her on the
floor. In the scuffle almost all
the woman’s clothing was torn
from her body. The negro hid
io the house and again terroized
the woman when she regained
consciousness.
Williams, who is paralyzed in
tl ■ upper part of his body, found
t ! • negro there on his return.
ll.de, it is said, threatened both
with death if they revealed his
ci i me.
\s soon as the negro disap
p .red Williams gave the alarm,
a 1 Sheriff Garner organized a
P .so and started the hunt with
b odhounds. The chase led in
ti he Yellow river bottoms, three
notes away, where the negro was
b l ien under a buggy seat and
la led safely in jail. The negro is
s; 1 to have* confessed his crime.
