He was brought from Albany to tt.la

placed In Jail here. About 1 o'clock last

Thotnasvllle, he was taken from the Jail
by a mob and carried to a pine thicket
at the north end of Ashley street, and
there he now swings to the limb of a
small suppling, his body riddled with bul

The tune of the night when the lynch
ing took place Indicate that the mob wau
at least led by parties from Thomas coun

las- shot was fired about ten mtnute3
before the 1:12 train for Thomiavtile.

yet there are no regrets expressed that
