The mysterious death Wedn
nf buster Whitehead, a negre, on the !
Sumter county chain ."any, on the 1
second day he hail li.vn placed on I
the teanjf. was the topic of conversa- j
tion about Americus today, following I
a coroner’s inquest held over his '
body Wednesday afternoon and a I
pout mortem examination made by !
I>r. F. L. Cato, county physician. On ,
the insistence of members of the cor- j
oner's jury, who were unable to ob- |
tain any clue to the cause of the ne- J
Kro’s death from witnesses. Dr. Cato j
made a thorough examination, at the j
conclusion of which he announced j
that the negro came to his death from
pulmonary embolism—a blood clot |
in the lung caused from an arterial J
rupture producing strangulation from
the flow of blood into the lung. This j
was the form of the verdict of the j
coroner's jury.
Dr. Cato at the time gave no ox-,
planation as to the probable cause of i
the negro’s condition, hut today when I
seen bv a Times-Recorder reporter j
r-tated that he did not know what was
the cause of the condition and that j
there was no wav in which it could j
be determined. He would venture!
no opinion, but said such condition
sometimes results from internal !
causes such as a diseased or weak
blood vessel. He insisted that in his |
examination he found no evidences!
whatever of external violence.
The negro who was sentenced to
the chain gang from the City court
Mondav. was taken to the convict
camp 4 1-2 miles southeast of Ameri
cus on the Leslie road Tuesday morn-; ri , .
ing. He worked part of the day. ‘ ^
and Wednesday forenoon, according
to testimony, stopped work, lying
down and complaining that he was
ill. According to the testimony
forfe was uW To restrain hitn by
both Harry McCoy, a white convict
trusty, who has been »*iven a place
as pang boss, and by J. H. Cobb, n
convict guard.
That the force used was not se
vere wouM be indicated by the state
ment of Dr. Catir after the post mor
tem that he could find no evidences
of violence. No testimony was given .
at the inouest that the negro had I
been punished, and all witnesses gave I
much the same evidence, declaring '
that had been no trouble.
Whitehead was an Americus ne
gro, apparently robust and in the
best of health when turned over to
the gang Tuesday. He was arrested j
a short time ago by the police for i
chicken stealing.
