SAY TOWN IS DEMORALIZED
Chipley Citizens Want Special Term of
Court—Citizens are Openly
Carrying; Arms.
Columbus, Ga., June 19.—
Mayor J. L. Allen and other
prominent citizens of Chipley,
appeared before Judge William
A. Little today and urged him to
grant a petition signed by thirty
or forty citizens of Chipley and
Hamilton asking that a special
term of Harris superior court be
called for the purpose of trying
the persons arrested in connect¬
ion with the recent double trag¬
edy at Chipley, and also for the
purpose, of suppressing that the state
of lawlessness in com 111 un
ity.
The petitioners say that peo¬
ple are carrying arms openly,
and that the feeling of appre¬
hension is demoralizing and is
injuring the town’s business.
The petitioners at first applied
to Governor Terrell for relief,
and he suggested that they con¬
fer with J. G. Little in reference
to a special term of court. At¬
torneys representing the six per¬
sons arrested on tlie charge of
violationary manslaughter as the
result of the Hasty-lrwin trage¬
dy appeured before Judge Little
at the same time and expressed
the belief that a special term of
court would be unnecessary, and
would be liable to cause excite¬
ment and feeling.
The six defendants, L. Strick¬
land, John Strickland, Moseart
Strickland, Ed Hasty, John Mc¬
Ghee and former Marsha! Malone,
of Chipley, waved examination
at Chipley and were each placed
under a bond of $J,000 for their
appearance at the October term
of Harris court. Each defendant
gave bond. It was felt by the
attorneys on both sides that tins
was the wisest course of pursue.
Judge Little reserved his de¬
cision in the matter of a special
term of Harris court, ami will
reply to the petitioners later.
Child turned to Death,
The seven-year-old boy of Mr.
and Mrs. Lawrence McCleskey
was burned so badly that death
ended his sufferings on last Sun¬
day and he was buried Monday.
The little fellow was lying on
the floor by the kitchen stove and
when he attempted to get up he
pulled one of the legs from under
stove which caused it to fall on
him. Not only did the hot stove
burn him, but there was a kettle
of hot water on the store which
struck him, scalding him in a
most horrible manner. Very
little, if any of his body escaped
being burned.
The News, with a host of
friends, mourns with them in
their logs.
