MOBBATTERSDDWNJAIL
OODR Al CUMMING AND
HANGS GIRL’S ASSAILANT
Crowd Fakes Rob Edwards, Who Con
fessed Complicity in the Brutal Slay
ing of Planter’s Daughter Sunday,
From Jail and Lynch Him in Street.
(TMMkNG, GA., Sept. IO. —Gathering in the public square this
afternoon, a mob of more than a thousand men. unmasked and un
afraid of written law. stormed the Forsyth county jail, battered down
the doors a.nl;i took from his cell Bob Edwards, a negro implicated in
:hr sl'miug o's a young white girl last Sunday, and hanged him to a
irieph<’UU > pdlt before the court house door. His body swings there to
this hwyr, ridtlied with bullets, dangling in the wind as a warning to
irigbicTied negroes, who are hurrying from the town.
WbeiT'the 'jiioh had done its
work it dispersed. The feeling
which had sprung up with the as
s.:silt by‘one of six negroes arrest
ed last week and burst into flame
with th& discovery of, the mur
dered girl in the woods yesterday
I- iJ . itself. The mob had
u;ud Hs one victim of the eight
;'ci-. .-,od. 11 was satisfied.
Th. monos Forsyth county, the hill
• >.:ntry of north Georgia, had been
fathering all day in the little town.
- nt- bea ing rifles and shotguns under
the - arm-, otners with coats bulging
suspiciously where a heavy revolver
r"t ri a hip pocket. They were silent
• . - most part, but they gathered
in little knots at the corners of the
S'-i'U' and waited. The six negroes
hi for lasi week's crime had been
-icked 'n the Marietta jail beyond
.■each of lynch law; the confessed
s .'..vw of the young girl had been spir
d away from his home to Gainesville
and then rushed to the Tower in At-
■ nta. But the mountain men were de-
mined ;to have their victim, and
found him this afternoon.
Taken Fro n Officers
cn.l Locked in Jail.
I ,;n shortly after noon that word
u. to the torn that a negro had
ii tn caught near the scene of the girl's
murder and that he bad confessed to
being an accomplice of Ernest Cox. the
I'-yo in the Atlanta tower. The sher
' nmi his posse .fearful of trouble,
- 1 immediately and took the negro
cantors. Cringing in fear of
n - and begging piteously to be
' th accomplice in the crime was
I ! ’rj. :i into Cumming and locked in
■ •-i' th', re. But the Forsyth county
mek-up was never built to withstand
•ui-h a throng of mtn as that which
attacked it this afternoon. Those
nmuntaim-ers. infuriated as they were,
would have lorn the baslile itself.
Hardly had the negro been placed in
his cell than the news spread over the
town and countryside. The crowd
"huh already filled the square grew
nti! it covered th? little streets lead
ing into the town. The country roads
' ire dotted with mounted and armed
cm. all hurrying toward the county
■t. It seemed as though some whe
lms telegraphy had spread the news
•f the negro’s capture.
The sheriff had left the jail as soon
a he had lodged his prisoner there
and Denuty M G. Lummus was left in
charge. He stood his ground bravely
against the assault and was warned t"
get back and save himself. He locked
i'ne doors of the jail and put the heavy
bars In place, but the mob tame on.
No Attempt to
Conceal Men or Motive.
The men who made up this mob
threw off all attempt at concealment
of their purpose. Farmers known to
all the countryside were in front of
the band which advanced on the jail
in broad daylight, without a mask,
without the slightest fear of what the
future might bring. The barred doors
halted the leaders for a moment, but
they sent to a blacksmith shop near
by for sledgehammers. The door gave
way under a few' blows and the lead
ers rushed in. followed by as many
men as could crowd into the corridors.
'hit into th*' sunshine came the
b'giw. ashen gray in his terror, his
p -es rolling in abject feat. H» mut
ter'd prayers and supplications to the
mob ) 1|: . was dragged from the en
’ ’’'< ni. of the jail, but these were soon
' -owned in the rain of blows which
ft-il upon him. A rope was brought
from a nearby store and a noose drop
ped around the negro’s neck. The mob
was fighting for a chance to get at its
victim, and only the certainty of
wounding or killing a friend kept the
drawn pistols silent. The mountain
men were in a frenzy of rage.
Negro Dragged
at End of Rope.
Across the street and up to the pub
lic square hurried the mob. its victim
at the fore. The negro had lost his
feet by this time and was being
dragged by the rope, his body bumping
over the stones At the corner of the
square a telephone post and its cross
arm offered a convenient gallows The
' end of the rope was tossed over the
arm, a dozen hands grasped It and the
negro, perhaps already dead, was
drawn high into the air. Pistols and
rifles cracked and the corpse was man
gled into something hardly resembling
a human form Then the mob, its
blood thirst satisfied at last, scattered
into a thousand fragments, and the
men which made it up went back to
their work.

Parole at Last in Sight
For Convict 31 Years I
As Slayer of Woman
Governor Joseph M. Brown has prac
tically determined to parole James Jol
ly. a white man convicted of the murder
of a woman in DeKalb county more
than 31 years ago, and who has served
the state as a convict ever since in a
most exemplary manner.
Jolly was sent up for life for murder
ing Victoria Norris, under most pecu
liar circumstances, and his petition for
clemency has been passed upon ad
versely by no le-s than six governors
preceding Brown, and once by Brown
himself.
The governor today made up his
mind to parole Jolly, if it can be done
with an understanding that the parole
is not to be used as a stepping stone to
a pardon The present governor will not
pardon Jolly.
Jolly is now over 62 years of age
He began his term of service tn April,
ISBI. four years after the crime for
which he was sent up was committed.
The murder took place in 1877 so
long ago that there are now no rec- 1
ords of It to be found.
According to a statement filed with I
the governor by Jolly, he was con- i
victed of killing the woman, purely on
circumstantial evidence. She was found
dead In a wagon. When last seen alive ‘
by witnesses, she was riding toward
town in that wagon with Jolly.
Jolly says he never killed the woman, i
but that he did insult her. and she. in
resenting the insult, became excited and
' fell from the wagon, breaking her neck
; Candler Urges Raise
In City Tax Levy to
Aid Atlanta Schools
i
1
; Replying to the appeal of the schools
: department for more money than is
provided in the budget. John S. Cand
ler. acting mayor, declared today that
the tax rate of Atlanta should be in-
. creased from 1.25 per cent to 1.50 pet
! cent.
"Every department in the city is suf
: sering from a lack of money," he said.
' "With our present income, we can not
, do what is expected to be done and
i what ought to be done.
“The more I study the workings of
our system, with its many boards, the
nearer I am convinced that one board
•should supervise all the city depart
ments," continued Aiderman Candler.
"Without meaning any reflection on the
members of the boards, the situation
is simply that any one board does not
see further than its department."
’ A committee of the school board re
ported to the mayor today that a num- 1
ber of new teachers were needed im
mediately. Though no appropriation
' has been made for the salaries of addi
’ tional teachers. Aiderman Candler ad
vised that the teachers be hired.
Official figures at the office of the su-
■ perintendent of schools show the first
■ day’s attendance to have been 30,337, :
exclusive of the Glenn Street white
school, the Virginia Avenue negro
■ school and the four night schools. Ac
cording to Superintendent W. M. Sla- i
ton, the opening attendance means 23,-
000 pupils for Atlanta schools for the
year of 1912-1913.

AIDSBROTHER
WHO KILLED
FORSLUR
ON WIFE
Dr. A. Lee Curtis Goes to Mis
sissippi Town to Help His
Relative at Trial.
Dr. A. l.ee Curtis, proprietor of sev
eral drug stores, and a former council
man. left today for Jackson. Miss., to
aid his brother. W. H Curtis, who is
hold in jail there for killing J. H. Hel
ton last Sunday. Young Curtis shot
Helton dead with an automatic pistol,
and then surrendered to the police. The
killing was the aftermath of a fight be
tween the two men. and the trouble
grew out of alleged remarks by Helton
reflecting on' Curtis’ wife.
W, H Curtis was well known in At-,
lanta. where he lived until a few years
ago. Two brothers reside here—A. L.
and H. C. Curtis—both druggists. For
two years W, H. Curtis has been living
in Jackson
Dispatches from Jackson say that
Helton was sitting in the office of Dr.
A. S. Applewhite when Curtis came in
The doctor heard Helton make an ex
clamation. and turned to see him facing
the door, with a pis,ol in ms hand.
Then a shot was heard, but lyy this
time the physician had taken to his
heels. Turning back at the foot of the
stairs, he saw Curtis coming dow, with
a revolver In his hand.
Helton Is Struck
By Six Bullets.
The place was soon filled with men
drawn by the shots, and it was found
that Helton had been struck by six bul
lets. Curtis had used a rapid-fire au
tomatic pistol, and had emptied it into
Helton s body. The slayer went to the
police station and gave himself up aft
er the tragedy.
Curtis will enter a plea of self-de
fense it is reported, but he steadily has
refused to discuss the ease with news
paper men or officials. Hfs relatives
say that when he entered the physi
cian’s office, he saw Helton draw his
pistol, and fired first.
The dispatches state that the shoot
ing followed an encounter of several
weeks ago, when Helton was badly
beaten by Curtis and L. V. Sykes, the
father of Mrs. Curtis. It was asserted
then that Helton had made remarks
reflecting on Mrs. Curtis’ character
Some time previous Helton had sued
Curtis and Sykes for 310,000 damages,
alleging defamation of character, and
it is alleged that he wrote Mrs. Curtis a
letter agreeing to withdraw the suit,
provided she would meet him for an
Interview It is alleged that she gave
this letter to her husband, and the beat
ing followed
Mrs Curtis and her father have vis
ited Curtis in jail, and their meetings
were affectionate, but all refuse to dis
cuss the case further than to say every
thing will come out at the trial.
Curtis and Sykes are engaged in
building and contracting work, while
Helton was in the book business. He
was a young man. and went to Missis
sippi from Kentucky several years ago.
