Bead Mr. Campbell’s I m another colamn, The people of Fort Valley were star tled Tuesday morning by finding a man hanging to a china tree near the guard house. On examination he was fonnd to be a negro charged with some dozen or more villianons burglaries. He had been arrested a few days previously in Bibb county by Mr. Moffat, and brougth to Fort Valley for preliminary examina tion. He made most impudent xonfes- 8ions, acknowledging having been the principal actor in the* recent breaking of Mrs. W, B. Brown’s house, Mr. F. C. Houser’s, Mr. J. W. Hardison’s, Dr. Baskin’s at Byron, and many others. He had many of the stolen articles in his possession, some of which led to his detection and arrest. The lynching is enveloped in the deep est mystery, and there seems not to be the slightest cine to the parties who did it. The case was brought to the attention of the grand jury by Judge Simmons Tuesduy before ,noon ; He charged them to leave no means untried to find out who were implicated in the lynching, and to present them without fear, favor or affection.^ He character ized it as an inexcusable murder that should not go unpunished. We regret very much to record snch a case, and at the same time, we mast say that the punishment was richly deserv ed, and will have a tendency to break np that class of crimes. Yet it was without lawful authority, and will injure us abroad, has ere this been heralded by radicals agepts all over the north. Then it is a terrible thing to cultivate the disposition many people have of over riding law, and administering their own notions of justice. The tendency of such things i» to develop anarchy, when lynching becomes common in a coun try, bad men will soon resort to mob law to redress purely private grievances, and for purposes of revenge against en- emiesjandull the horrors oi the late Ken tucky and Indiana fneds be upon it. The prisoner had implicated several parties as accomplices in his crimes, two of whom have been arrested and are in Perry jail. There is a strong im pression in Fort Valley that some of his gaLg took him ont an i hanged him to keep him from making farther confes sions. Coroner Schilling went over to Fort Valley about noon and empnnheled a jury consisting of the following citi zens: S, B. Burr, Foreman J W Colyar W W Simmons H C Brown T‘ V Fagan Jno H Claxton O L Green Joseph Barnes G W Slurges J. M. Culpepper J it Goodwin Geo. W. Maddox The following evidence was adduc ed: Drs. W B. Mathews and B H Baskin after examining the body of deceased said that he came to his deutn by stran gulation, from a rope around his neck, and suspended from - the,limb of a tree, hir. • feet swinging clear from the ground. Cain Bobinson, sworn, said the body is that of a person having more than one name,-Henry Walker, Ed Hill, alias Ed Scrutebias. He was ta ken ont of the guard house, I don’t know what time. I don’t knew who took him out, I don’t think the moon was down. 1 don’t know whether they were-white or black, men or women, but think they had on pants. They asked me if this was Cain? touching me. I answered yes. I thought they were his friends come to get him loose. They made com i lerablenoise in breaking in. Don’t h»«ve any idea how many there were. There was nothing said. I think he was asleep. He never spoke a word. B. F, Avera, sworn, said I saw this body now before me hanging to a tree near the guard house about day-light. My attention was called to him by one of my hands, Jack Dove. I went to the guard house. The ontsido lock was broken. The inside door was bolted. W. J. Mathews, sworn, said I forgot the name I Lave heard him called by. Think it was Henry Walker. I was acting deputy marshal lost night. The regular marshal was absent and gave me the keys about three o’clock. I saw the body this a. m. about seven o’clock, hanging to a limb of a tree. He looked like he was dead. I didn’t ex amine the door at the time, but did about 8 o’clock and fonnd the lock bro ken The last time I saw him previous, wasabont 7 or 8 o’clock last p. m,.in the guard house. I had the keys to the guard house in my possession all night There had been two keys to the door before. Nobody said anything tc me abont the keys. Being able to secure no evidence as to the persons who committed the deed the jury returned the following ver dicts “We the jnrors (aforenamed) “be ing sworn and oh arge to inquire on the part of the State of Georgia, when, where, how and after what macner the said Hemy Walker, alias Ed Walker, alias Ed Hill* alias Ed Scfntchins, came to his death, upon their oaths do say that said deceased come to his death fromstrmgnlation, last night, caused by a rope tied around his neck and tied to a limb of a tree, near the guardhouse in the town of Fort Valley; and that the person or persons who committed the-deed axe to ns unknown. That we have used all diligence in our power to ascertain the perpetrators without any effect, and that aftar he or they had committed the said fejony and mur der in manner and form aforesaid, did escape,—against the peaae - and dignity to this state.’’ Cain Bobinson was *» supposed ac complice of the deceased, and was con fined with him in the gnard house.. He was evidently too badly scared to know anything. Coroner Schilling lias the rope, g®2» and fourteen Llact cambric masks that were found. He was unable to hire a single negro to help take the down and bury him.
