CUMMING, GA.. Oct. 3.—Under mil
itary protection. Forsyth superior court
is today trying the negroes that for
the past four weeks have been held in
jail at Atlanta, following the death of a
young white woman near here on Sep
tember 9. for which one negro was
lynched at the time.
Six witnesses were examined b fore
court adjourned for the noon recess.
The first was L. A. Crow, father of the
young woman who was slain. He told
of the disappearance of his daughter on
Sunday night, September 8; of the
search next day; of finding her in an
unconscious condition, badly wounded,
in a secluded place in the woods neat

where she died a few hours later

nail, who attended the girl, described
the seven wounds on her head and oth
er parts of her body. They declared
she must have been wounded twelve to
fifteen hours before she was found.
Ed Collins, one of the negroes to be
tried, was the other morning witness.
He said that Ernest Knox, the first
negro put on trial, and Robert Ed
wards, who was lynched, went to his
house that Sunday night and remained
until about 10 o’clock. They borrowed
a lantern from him and told him they
were going in the direction of the Crow
home, which was about two miles away.
Susie Collins, wife of Ed Collins, tes
tified that Knox, on the night the gir'
was attacked, returned to their home
and confessed the crime, threatening t<
kill them if they told what had trans
pired.
Marvin Bell, a prominent farmer liv
ing near the’ scene of the crime, also
testified that Knox had confessed
to him and Dr. Marcus Mash
burn. after he had been arrested by
Sheriff Reid. Mr. Bell and Dr. Mash
burn took the negro to Gainesville in an
automobile and delivered him to Sher

ing session of court, and a recess for
dinner was taken.
At 11 o’clock, after 56 talesmen had
been examined, the twelfth juror was
secured. All the jurors are between 25
and 45 years of age. Eleven
are farmers. The other one is a
watchman at a local mill. Five men
were excused, at the request of the de
fense, because they are more than 60
years old. The general excuse offered
by the others dismiss'd was that
their minds were not clearly unbiased
as between the prosecution and de
fense.

Judge Newt Morris, presiding over
the court announced from me bench
this morning that he intended to expe
dite the trials in every manner possi
ble and at the same time to see that
the proceedings were fair and impar
tial. He hopes to conclude all the
cases tonight. There will be few wit
nesses to be examined, as the evidence
is largely circumstantial. Afternoon
and night sessions will be held, very
short recesses being taken for dinner
and supper.
Report of Ammunition Coming.
Sheriff Reid this morning received a
telephone message from Atlanta to the
effect that it was reported 1,000 rounds
of ammunition was en route to Cum
ming. He declined to give the source
of his information. The sheriff says
he does not believe this report is true,
but is making arrangements to inter
cept any such shipment should it be en
route.
Court convened at 9 o'clock this
morning under protection of a battal
ion of national guard from Atlanta.
Major Catron has 24 men stationed in
the court room, while squads are on
duty in the corridors, on the stairways,
in the court house yard and around the
fence surrounding the building. Other
soldiers are patrolling the streets of
the town, while a reserve force is held
in readiness to move at a moment’s no
tice, should there be any demonstra
tion.
This morning 2.000 persons had come
into town from the surrounding coun
try and they continued to arrive in
large numbers every hour. It is esti
mated that fully 3.000 outsiders arc
here this afternoon.
Strict Martial Law.
Martial law of the strictest ordei
prevails here today. The fence around
the court house is the dead line. Sen
tries are stationed every few feet
around the inclosure, with loaded rifles,
ready to shoot any who attempt to en
ter the yard without proper authority.
None is admitted except through the
south gate. Those must have written
passes, issued by Judge Newt Morris, of
the superior court, and. countersigned
by the military commander here. These
passes are issued only to court officers,
attorneys, newspaper correspondents,
talesmen summoned for jury servlet,
witnesses and a few prominent citizens
for whom Judge Morris would person
ally vouch. In the court room none is
admitted within the railing except the
prisoners, attorneys and correspond
ents.
The soldiers arrived in town with the
p i-oner> at 6:30 o'clock this morning
I lie prisoners were immediately taken
to the eouVt mom and guards were
stationed in and around the building
Fulton Blues at Cumming to guard negro prisoners from
mob. The large picture shows a detail taking it easy on guard;
the other, how one of the lyoys keeps vigil at a prison window.
By 7 o'clock fully 1,000 persons were
on the streets, principally around the
court house square.
Up to the hour court convened there
had been no demonstration on the part
of the crowd. Sheriff Reid, however,
said he feared there might be trouble
before the day is over, because of the
big crowd in town and the intense feel
ing that has been manifest over the
crimes for which the negroes are facing
trial.
Camped Outside Cumming.
The military arrived on the outskirts
of Cumming at 7 o’clock last night from
Buford and went Into camp one mile
south of town. Picket lines were
thrown about the camp and none ex
cept Judge Morris, Sheriff Reid and
attorneys for the negroes was admitted
within the lines. Judge Morris and
Sheriff Reid conferred with the mili
tary officers over today’s arrangements,
while the attorneys talked with the
prisoners to outline their defense.

But The Bump Came
Many a man is pretty sure that while coffee may hurt others it don’t
hurt him —till the bump comes.
But when headache, frazzled nerves, an irritable heart, indigestion and
sleeplessness begin to “get him,” he’s apt to look around for a reason.
The reason is plain when a change is comes a time

here. They brought a train of five
wagons, loaded wjth camp equipment

night hundreds from Cumming went to
the i amp, in hope of getting a glimpse
of the negroes, but were halted at the
outposts. They stood around in groups
discussing what might transpire today.
However, there was no attempt made
by any one to start trouble.

NEW DRUG VICE
IS INK U.S.
‘Hashish,’ Obtained From Gre
cian Hemp Plant, Intoxicates
and Maddens the User.
LONDON, Oct. 3.—Revelations deal
ing with the smoking of “hashish,” a
vice- which is said to lead to lunacy,
have been made by A. Lucas, director
of laboratories in the survey depart
ment at Cairo, who read a paper on the
subject before the Cairo Scientific so
ciety, entitled "Confessions of a Hash
ish Smoker.”
He declared that the use of the drug
rapidly is increasing in Europe and
America.
"Hashish originally comes from
Greece," said Mr. Lucas, “where hemp
is grown for that purpose.
Its intoxicating and narcotic properties
are no modern discovery, however, for
there are references to it in Herodotus,
who records that the Scythians burned
the seeds of hemp during the purifica
tion ceremonies that took place after
death, and that they became intoxi
cated by the fumes.
Drug Taken in Many Ways.
“In the 'Confessions of a Hashish
Smoker’ the statement is made that the
drug is often taken in cigarettes. But
it can be indulged in in other ways.
The hashish is either powdered or in
fused in cold water, resulting in a tur
bid liquid, or ft is ground up in water
or milk, to which is added pepper, sug
ar or spice. It is also boiled in a pow
dered form and taken hot. Tn Egypt
and Turkey it is taken in sweetmeats
and confections, prepared with sugar,
honey and molasses.
“Very often it Is smoked in pipes, and
excessive smokers to whom the simple
drug no longer appeals add such ingre
dients as opium, arsenic, nux-vomica
or datura seeds.
“It is Interesting to note, in passing,
that our word ‘assassin’ conies from
the Arabic ’hashish,’ the plural of
which is ‘hashasheen.’
"The latter name was given to a fa
natical Moslem tribe of Carpathians
who flourished in the eleventh century
under a chief called ‘The Old Man of
the Mountain,’ whose stronghoid was
Mount Lebanon. This band was the
terror of the world for nearly 200 years,
and devoted Itself to murdering secret
ly or by surprise all the enemies of th”
Moslem faith.
"Before perpetrating any of their
bloody deeds they fortified themselves
by drinking or eating a preparation
of ’hashish.’ It Is easy to see how ‘as
sassin’ replaced the original word
‘hashasheen.’ and how ‘assassin’ came
to be applied to any one who killed by
secret assault.
Gives Joy and Appetite.
“The first effect of hashish is to pro
duce cheerfulness and an abundant ap
petite. A small dose produces gayety,
a larger one hallucinations, delirium
and sometimes catalepsy. An average
dose induces a dreamy state, when the
victim becomes the sport of rapidly
shifting ideas. One can never mistake
the habitual ‘hashasheen.’ ”
