Jesup, Ga., Dec. 14.—As each suc ceeding hour passes and additional ev idence on the shooting of young Flem lag Smith by Sheriff Lyens and his son Archie Saturday night, comes to lllfc'ht, the people of this place more greatly wrought up against the sheriff and his son, and It is certain that the lives of Lyens and son Archie, would not be safe In this county. Tho feeling against them Is intense QKd a subscription list passed around today for the purpose of raising funds fia3 found dozens of signers and it is said that thousands of dollars will be subscribed to employ counsel to pros ecute to tho fullest extent tho men who, according to the verdict of the coroner’s Jury, wilfully and promedl- tatedly murdered a defenseless man. There are many cyewitnes.es who ill bear out tho dying statement of young Smith and at least two other officers, connected with tho sheriff’s office will in all proballty bo Implicat ed in the affair. Harl,ey Walker, a deputy, has already been placed der arrest. It is claimed that he and a man named Raulerson accompanied the sheriff and his son to tho drug store In which young Smith was em ployed and waited outside while tho officers did the shooting. There has been ill feeling between Sheriff Lyens and Fleming Smith since tho election on Juno 4th laBt. Young Smith was opposed to the re- election of Sheriff Lyens and was out spoken In his opposition. Some (inys since when It was alleged that Archie Lyens had Insulted the young widow- oil lady employed In a restaurant near the passenger d.epot, Smith again took the side against the Lyens, and had offered to contribute $10.00 to pros ecute the deputy sheriff. For several day* trouble had been brewing between tho sheriff and young Smith, W. B. Lyens having tak en up his son's quarrel, but on Fri day night the two had gotten togeth er with friends and had ap’parently settled the trouble. Late Saturday afternoon, according to witnesses, Sheriff Lyens and his son went into tho store of tho Jesup Drug Company, where young Smith was employed. Witnesses testified that Smith asked "What can I do for you, sheriff?" "Nothing,” replied Lyens. The sheriff then glanced around the store and pointing to some boxes, ask ed of Smith: "What’s in those boxes ” "Candy,” replied Smith. The clerk then went behind prescription counter near the back of the store. He picked up a bottle of glycerine and began pouring its con tents into a smaller bottle. Lyens and his son made a rush for him, one on each side of the prescrip tion counter and with revolvers In each hand. Ono of their first shots broke the bottle of glycerlno which Smith was bolding. Both men con tinued to shoot at young Smith, and the fusilade was continued until the last shot In all four revolvers had been fired. Sheriff Lyens Is said to have emptied his pistols before bis son finished shooting. Ho caught Smith and held him across a box while Archie placed bis pistol against the dying man’s body and pulled the trigger. - "We’ve got him,”-said Archie. Sheriff Shoots Smith’s Gun. Expecting trouble a few days since, Fleming 8mltb bad borrowed a shot gun and brought it to the store. It was laying noarby where the shoot ing occurred. Jnst before leaving the store Sheriff Lyens took Smith’s gun, fired it into the celling and broke It by striking it 'across the dying man's head. I LON. XAFS. D. M'OOUD.
