ints. D. 0. Kelly tSSon Kv»t the r.rte

fle nnd iold him if fro nude a tnXh-e
to shoot tho officers, Poore woult kill
him. tnd Kelly then dropped down tho
muxzlo of the gun, 2a (he meantime.
D»pnty M%*»tml John Kellv was in A
vjutfle with Lucius L. Wminott, who
was endr.wor.kg to break k'ose tram
him. Poors Men came tv> tho vi^t?*tance
of Dtpnty Mcrttotl Kelly and slip.* .1 a
bind cuff •ii.jiy tfrs right irm of Lu-
L. Wikhsms.
While that ws* being done Lueuts L.
WUllsm called out to sold D. O. Kelly
that the officers were handcuffing him
nnd that Kelly mast at onco shoot the
Officers; to kill them st once; that he
never thought his scn-ln-lsw would stand
by end see him handcuffed, end abused
D. O. Kelly for being a coward. D, O.
Kelly ttvi*n started to present Ms gun
In tho poidtion to shoot the officers when
Poore again covered him with his rifle
and forced him ta lower the muxile or
hU gun. l'oore then went up to Kelly
and commanded him to put down hit
gun, but he wfueM to do so, but agrwd
that ha would not shoot the officers if
the officers <lld not shoot him. and after
some parley the officers proceeded sway
from the house of Lucius L. Williams
toward Jacksonville. The officers had
proceeded nearly a mile from Williams*
house and were nwrly to the house of D.
O. Kelly when they were met hy Mrs.
Lucius L. William* and Mrs. D. O. Keffy.
Poore then told Mm. williams chat he
regretted that he had to put handcuffs
on her husband, and if he promised to
keep quiet that he woud remove them.
Mrs. Wllllmg in a furious manner, de
clared that tho officers should not take
her husband off and that sbe would have
the officers mobbed. Hho then ran off
to D. O. Kelly’s house. When tho officers
got opposite the bouse of D. O. Kelly a
number of women ran out and declared
that the officers would be fixed and that
the crowd would soon be there to release
Lucius L. Williams and mob the officers,
and that they had been sent for. About
that time the officers saw a body of men
dotvn tho road approaching from the di
rection of Jacksonville. The officers
moved on in the direction from which
the men wero coming. Poore walked In
front with D. O. Kelly and Deputy Mar-
ehal John Kelly walked behind holding In
cuatody Lucius L. Williams. As said
body of men approached, cries wero
heard.by the officers coming irom the
mob .calling out that they were going to
mob the officers and release Williams, and
naylngi "Let’s kill them at once, "kill
them as soon as we get to them." The
body of men were armed with rifles and
pjstos, and as the officers approached
them several of the men In the approach
ing parties stopped out behind pine trees
along the road with rifles in their hands,
and presented their weapons toward the
officers In a position to rhoot, while oth
ers stopped In the road. One of said
party, covering himself as much as possi
ble behind a pine tree about twenty steps
from Poors presented his Winchester
rifle, cocked and In a position to shoot,
directly at Poore. In the meantime Lu
cius L. Williams hold up his hands to
the crowd and said that he never thought
he would live to see ills relative* and
countrymen allow hltn to be handcuffed
by a set of rascals, and called upon them
to shoot the officers, and n general cry
OAfno up from the crowd that tho officers
must turn Lucius L. Wllll.ims loose or
that they would kill them. Pooro re.
quested D. O. Kelly to prevail upon the
crowd not to shoot, and one of the men
said to D. O. Kelly, with an oath: "If
you don't uao the gun give It to mo and
I will use it." D. O. Kelly then laid the
gun down In convenient distance of the
man who had asked him for It, nnd he
at once took it up. In the meantime, for
his self-protection, Deputy .John Kelly re
leased his hold ui»on the prisoner, and
prepared to meet tho attack. While both
sides were standing In a j>o*itlnn to shoot
Poore then cried out that If they would
nliow the officers to take Lucius L. Wil
liams over to Jacksonville he could give
hand there. It was at onco taken up by
some of the party, who said that D. O.
Kelly was a justice of the peace and they
could glvo n bond right there. Poore,
ascertaining that the gaining of time was
the only method to prevent bloodshed,
and feeling that ho and Deputy Marshal
John Kelly wero overpowered by the
superior forces, then acquiesced, as a
piece of strategy, to tho proposition to
allow Williams to enter Into bond before
said D. O, Kelly as Justice of the peace.
TJw whole party then returned to D. O,
Kelly’s house. The mob then demanded
that Poore take the handcuffs off of Lu
cius b. Williams. Poore thon told them
that he hud lost tho key In tho scuffle
at Lucius L. Williams’ house and that
he would go down and look for It, nnd
to have his bondsmen ready. Tho off!,
ccn^ accompanied by said D. O. Kelly,
then proceeded to Lucius L. Williams'
premises and found tho key to the hand
cuffs. Then they told D. O. Kelly to re
turn with tho key and release Lucius L.
Williams. Affiant and said John Kelly
then took their departure and made their
way back to Macon.
Affiant further says that his failure to
oxocute avid writs of attachment was
duo to tho aforesaid sets of the parties
abovo mentioned and the open resistance
offered him by said parties, among whom
wero tho said Lucius L. Williams. D. O.
Kelly, Jasper 1 toll Ins. Moso Wiliams,
Newton Wells, Ilonry Fussell, Tol Wells,
(icorgn Willla.na, Hob Williams, Dave
Wells. Newton Fussell, and others whose
names aro to affiant unknown.
Affiant further says that ho did not
know personally any ono of tho abovo
mimed parties before said occasion, and
that the names above given as the names
of the parties who resisted and opposed
affiant In the execution of such process of
the court wore called over to nfflant by
tho «Hd D. O. Kelly In conversation on
Bu.td occasion, or os heard by tho nfflant
In the talk of said parties ono with nn-
othor, but affiant says that ho took par
ticular notice of the said men at the time
nnd affiant would know them and could
Identify them from sight.
