Miss Bla< kmatt is the sister of the

own an-l manage most successfully is one
tit.- largest in thia section of tin- state,
an i the young met- are known at* two *f
the tuost popular in Georgia and Alabama
trade. Their business extends all over this
section of Georgia and into Alabama for
miles tip and down the river. With the
••our.try people as well as with the people
of West Point they are papular ard their
l-i 1 ularity has been secured by hard, hon
est. fair work ami square dealing. In the
rear of their store, or rather in cne section
of the building devoted to their business,
is a large millinery department.
Turner is a negro of about twenty-se\en
years of ag ■ and has lived in West Point
for years. He has always been considered
a polite, Inoffensive negro and no one
thought he would ever have offered an
affront to a lady. Time and again Turner
has been given odd jobs by the merchants
of the city, among them the Blackman
brothers. Some tim - ago he read an ac
count of the marriage of a negro man to
u white woman and after that frequently
spoke of it to his companions and to some
of the white people with whom he was-in
th? habit of talking. The marriage of
which he had read seeme i to prey upon
his mind and time an-l time again he has
been h ard discussing it.
This, it is thought, 1.1 him to write a
note, which was delivered i n Saturday, it
was a request from the writer to meet him
that night mar the. coll-ge. The writer
signed his nanii in full and proved to b
Turner. The young lady carried the note
to her brothers. The first Impulse of the
young m n was 10 go out and hunt the
negro Turner and kill him on the spot. But
fearing Hint there might tie a mistake
they decided to ascertain beyon I all doubt
that Turner <)!<’. write the note an-l then
act. In the letter was a request for a re
ply, ami a reply was sent. Informing Tur
ner that he might be at the point desig
nated in his note al the time mentioned
by him.
Then (he gentlemen called in two or
three friends and acquainted them with
the situation and asked their attendance
(hat -veiling. Alt-r dark an-l nt
the apiaiinte-l time the Black
man brothers and th-ir friends were on
hand an-l there, too. was Turner. His pres
ent tin- suspicions of the gen-
tlemen an-l then there oi.-urred something
which forms a chapter in Georgia s criminal
history.
But just what hapf<etied is not known a
(he parties interested decline to talk an-l,
nothing <an b learned from them. In f. yt
the st.-i y from its Inception is covered in
the most mysterious manner ami little or
nothin: is really known by the fteople
h<-re. It is known, howev-r. that tin- tie
gro was badly hurt an-l that it was thougnt
h<- was dead when the gentlemen went
away.
Tuesday morning, however, the Blackman
l.rolhMS and theii friends ascertain--I that
Turner was yet in town ami that h • was
at tiie home of a m gro woman living on
the outskirts of the city. Th*- same in
formation was to the effect that he w:*s
badly hint trod that hi- would not be out
in a long tim--. Finding (hat the negro was
yet alive, some of tin- young men of the
city decided to make another call upon
him ami s*‘<- that he left the stat ■ at om-e.
Al the door tin- negro woman intnle a
stout resistance and Turner went to h*-r
a<d. hurt as h<- was. II w ielded a club or
an ttx ami for a few minutes there was a
lively scrimmage. The light resulted in
what was thought to i-e a deathblow to
the negro, but as no one knows who th
attacking parties were, no one can tell
whether it was a shot or a knife or a club
w hi* h gave the blow. The young men.
who ar unknown in the second attack. "
course, are not to lie found out.
Wednesday morning the negro, ba-lly hurt,
so one story goes, was eartie*! to l.aFay
i tte, Ala., when- he sought tit- prote--
tion of the sheriff. There is. however,
another story current tonight that Turner
is yet in Hi.- m gro wonuin’s house and t'l-'-t
It*- is dying from tin- wounds inflicted. This
):.tter rumor has just come in ami th-'
otlic.-rs have not investigat'd it. In fa*-t
very little was known about it until Tues
dav im-rning, so carefully did th*- parti**..-*
interested guard Hi- secret in order to pro
tect the young lady. When it first eame
oitt, a n-gro man gave it out that Turner
had I- ell i-arue-i by fra-mls tc Lu.Fayelt<-,
am! tiiat he was there in jail. That wr.s
i.elicveil until tonight hili’, when it w.m
slat.-I that he was still at the woman's
house ami was .lying of th.- wounds. The
officers will take the matter in hand in tla
morning an-l sift it to th.- bottom. Should
(he m gro died th.-re woul-l be no sjinpathy
here for him uml shotii-l he live he would
do well to make hims.-ls scarce. He wdl
