MACON JAIL

Prominent Business

\
TROOPS CALLED TO
ASSIST THE POLICE
Sunday Mornine the Jail Doors Were
Battered Down and One Negro Shot
—It Is Reported Several Persons
Were Wounded.
Macon, Ga., October 7.—Bibb
county jail was battered to pieces
by the mob this morning and
two white prisoners, Joe and
Monk Curtis, held for the .mur¬
der of John Newsom, were re
reased. One negro prisoner was
shot in the hip by one of the
mob leaders, but not seriously
hurt. Sledge hammers and rail¬
road rails were used in battering
down the doors. An entrance
was gained through a three-foot
brick wall, and lifter through a
steel door. The streets are being
patrolled and order restored.
At 1:8G o’clock this morning
the local state troops are in full
control of the -city* having been
called out to baffle a great crowd
of white men who were bent on
lynching a negro, who amf last night
shot Charles Adams William
Solomon, prominent young white
men, at the fair grounds where
night shows were givifig perform¬
ances. The Midway was thronged
with hundreds of young people.
Adams and Solomon were escort¬
ing two young ladies when a
negro, in a very offensive man¬
ner, forced his way between the
couples, separating them. A re¬
monstrance from the voting men
led to an encounter, when the
negro whipped out a revolver and
opened fire on Adams and Solo¬
mon, both receiving wounds in
stomach. Adams was not so
seriously wounded, but Solomon’s
condition caused much apprehen¬
sion. The negro was promptly
arrested and placed in jail.
A general stampede ensued
among blacks and whites, as
friends of the wounded men made
threats of vengeance, Young
ladies scrambled into cars and
hacks and sought home at once.
A great crowd soon formed, and
half of them went to the jail and
the others to the barracks
Several attempts were made to
break down the doors of the jail,
when the mob first formed, but
as soon as it was spread that the
city police had hurried the negro
to the barracks, an attempt was
male to break through the ranks
of the twenty or more armed of¬
ficers guarding the entrance.
The attempt to lynch the negro
began at- the fair grfmods as soon
as he shot Adams and Solomon.
While the crowds who had
been attracted were firing on the
fleeing negro, Patrolmen Johnson
arid Detective Will Adamson
intercepted the negro, who had
thrown down his weapon. They
grappled with him and darted to
run away with him.
A £ that moment the riot call
was sounded am! all the police Of
the city hurried to the scene.
While the park officers were
fighting with the crowds to keep
three negroes who had been tak¬
en from being shot, the patrol
wagon was suinn#fned and tiie
blacks were hurried into the
floors.
As the whip was applied, shots
began ringing out and the wagon
was the target of hundreds of re¬
volvers. The negroes were hur¬
ried to tho uuime- station and
there a guard was quickly form¬
ed, Chief Connor getting all
men together, with every man on
force fighting back the men
clamored and surged against tiie
line of officers.
ihe city not alarm was ,
ed and the militia was called to
arms.
Mayor Smith was among the
citizens trying to calm them,hut,
in vain.
At* tiie jail the crow >1 did little
work since the information as to
the negro’s whereabouts was cir¬
culated. Sheriff Robinson and
Jailer Hubbard had time during
the intervals to reinforce them¬
selves with all their deputies and
the militia was called to guard
both places.
The news spread rapidly and
determined citizens fought to gel
in at police station. Arrests
were made, but in no instance
did the officers get away with the.
man arrested. They released
every one to get rid of the mob.
Negroes everywhere have been
hurried off' the streets..
The city prison and county jail
have been surrounded by a strong
military guard, all three compa¬
nies, with Colonel Walter Harris,
Adjutant, A. D. Thomas and the
three companies’ captains in
charge, will be able to meet the
emergency at places where the
crowds think the negro is held in
hiding. A shot was fired from
the jail into the crowd and one of
the mob was hurt, but lie was
spirited away and there was only
blood on the ground to tell the
story.
In a Bridge row bar a negro
was shot and killed, it is report¬
ed, by another negro. Haokmen
and negro pedestrians have quit
the streets.
~ Mayor Smith ordered the
crowds dispersed when the mili¬
tia reported, and they have been
scattered.
C. M, Adams and W. W. Solo¬
mon have appeared among the
crowds downtown, and ha\Te ad¬
vised the people to keep cool.
They sought order and said they
had rather see the law take itY
course on the negro who shot
their sons.
It 1ms been found since a med¬
ical examination tfiat Charlie
Adams has good chances of re¬
covery. The shot which struck
him in the abdomen ranged to
one side, and did less damage
than was thought at first, Solo¬
mon was less fortunate,and he is
now hovering between life and
death, with a shot fired directly
into his bowels,
Young Solomon is a son of W.
W. Solomon, a commission mer
chant, young Adams is a sou of
C, M. Adams, a prominent insur¬
ance man. Both are members of
the Macon Volunteers and are
very prominent.
Duringsthe excitement at the
park, Fierce Bronson, a negro,
fired a 98-caliber pistol at Luther
Howard, colored, the ball passing
through his heart. This last
shooting was the result, of a quar¬
rel just before the tragecy at the
park.
