t THE PEOPLE—HOW JAIL WAS OOPBNRD AND.PRISONERS SECURED.
ALBANY, Ga., June 28.—Baker coun- i
ty was the scene of a triple lynching
about 2 o'clock this morning, when a
mob of fifty determined men entered
the town of Newton and secured pos
session of Garfield McGoy, Wiley An-
ette and George McKinney, Miller coun
ty negroes, who had been arrested and
lodged in jail for the murder, last Sat
urday night, of F. & Bullard, a prom
inent white farmer of the Seventh dis
trict of Baker.
The manner in which the prisoners
was obtained Is unique and altogether
without precedent.
Jailer William Screws, who resides
near the jail, was awakened about 12
o'clock by Bail lit It. C. Tucker, who
stated that he had a prisoner to place
In ths lockup. The jailer hastily don
ned his clothes and proceeded to the
jail.
As soon aa he had unlocked the prison
door he was suddenly surrounded by a
swarm of men with drawn revolvers,
who demanded thst he unlock the cell
In which* the Miller county negroes
were lodged. He did as commanded,
under protest, and the three negroes
were dragged from the jail. The pris
oner of Tucker made his escape during
the excitement
Their appeals for mercy were lost on
the mob, who began beating and slap
ping them with knives as soon as they
had left the door of the Jail.
The mob lost no time In leaving New
ton with the negroes, and when about

mile west of the town the three men
were halted, nooses tied about their
necks, and, amid the shouts of the mob,
the men were strung up.
The crowd fired several hundred
shots Into the swaying bodies, gfter
which they quietly dispersed.
The crime for which the negroes were
lynched occurred on the plantation of
Bullard last Saturday night during the
progress of a dance given by one of
Bullard's tenants.
Negroes from Early, Miller and De
catur counties were present, and trou*
ble was soon started by McKinney, An-
ette and McCoy putting out the lights.
Just as this juncture Bullard appeared
on the scene and commanded order.
His Interference was resented by the
three negroes,who opened fire upon him
with revolvers. Bullard fell, mortally
wounded, and died Tuesday.
The negroes were arrested Monday
and lodged In jail at Newton. At their
commitment trial It was proven that
the shot that killed Bullard was fired
by McKinney, and that Anette and Mc
Coy also fired at him. The negroes
were remanded to jail to awaltHrlal at
the next session of Baker superior
court, and absolutely no talk of lynch
ing was Indulged In by citizens.
It Is the consensus of opinion that
the work of the mob was largely due to
the fact that Bullard’s family is left in
a bad condition, hla wife being a hope
less invalid, and several small child
ren are dependent. The lynching was a
great surprise to the people of the
county, as It wns generally believed
that the law would be allowed to take
Itscourse In their cases.
The lynching is generally deplored.

LONDON. June 28.—The Constitu
tional club today entertained Colonial
Secretary Chamberlain at luncheon and
presented him with an address enclos-*
ed In a casket In recognition of his
services to the nation. Premier Bal
four made the presentation speech.
Referring to Mr; Chamberlain's fiscal
proposals he said the presept economic
position of the country demanded the
most careful consideration. The coun
try was now In the position of on aero
naut who kept his balloon In the air
by throwing out sand.bags’ That was
a very proper course so long ns he pos
sessed a sufficiency of sand bags but
when these were exhausted It was time
to reconsider the position. The ques
tion at issue was not new, but Mr.
Chamberlain, more than any man ltv-
Ing or dead, had given life to the ex
pression of the idea of imperial unity.
Mr. Chamberlain received a remark
able ovation when he rose to reply.
His boats sang "For he's a Jolly good
fellow," and then cheered Mrs. Cham
berlain who was among the spectator*.
The colonial secretary opened his re
marks with repudiating the suggestion*
of personal competition between him
self and Mr. Balfodr. He desired, on
the eve of a great controversy, to pub
licly atnte that he believed the leader
ship of Mr. Balfour was essential to
the success of the unionist party,
th unionist alliance was dissolved, or
weakened, his "home rule snake, which
was only scotched and not killed/'
would again come to the front.
Turning to the problem occupying
the centre of the political field, Mr.
Chamberlain declared that the commer
cial union of the colonics would be far
more profitable than their poetical
Ion. In the Inquiry about to occur,
he continued, all questions should be
argued on their merits. A policy of

WASHINGTON, June 28,-The Rus

found regret of the Intention of the
Washington authorities to forward to
St. Petersburg a petition from Ameri
can Jews relative to Uusala's treatment
of her Jewish aubjects. It la yet hop
ed that the United States will appropri
ate the Russian view of the case and
will content Itself with the kindly ex-
preaalpns of sympathy which It alresdy
has offered tor the affair at KlshlnetT.
The Associated Pnai already hue
stated the Russian rosltlon regarding
what is considered outside Interference
In the International' affairs of Russia.
That position is unchanged. Th** Anno
tated Freer Is farther permitted to say
that Mr. Riddle, the American charge,
when he presents hi* petition at the
Russian foreign office will be received
wljh the same cordiality always ac
corded an American envoy.
In returning the petition to Mr. Rid
die the officials will assure him that
Russia cherishes no III will toward th-
United States and that the action It
takes with respect to the petition li
necessary in view of Russia's unalter
able policy of refraining from lnterter
ence in the internal affairs of othei

public today his reply to the chgrgea
made by Mr. Tulloch In connection with

danger of further lawlessness as a re
sult of the lynching of Geo. d* White
for the murder of Helon Bishop and
the arrest of a man on tho charge of
complicity In the lynching, has not yet
pnsned. While there Is no visible evi
dence that another outbreak will oc-
cvir, then* Is a feeling of uneasiness
among tho pollen authorities which has
caused them to take extreme meusure*
of a pre iiutlonary character to nip in
the bud any further attempts of tho
whites to wago war on tho blacka or
of the latter to retaliate. Late thin
afternoon every saloon keeper In the
city was ordered to suspend business
until tomorrow. In addition to this nil
other public places, such ns billiard,
pool nnd bowling alleys, and the public
library, were requested to dose up to
night. This was generally done. In
line with the police precautions, Mayor
Fisher tonight Imucd a statement re-
questing parents to keep their boys oft
the streets at night. The mayor at
tributes a good deal of lawlessness to
the boys.
