BIRMINGHAM'S WOE.
MANY KILLED IN ATTEMPTING
TO LYNCH. HAWES.
SHERIFF SMITH CAUSES A LONG DEATH
ROLL- -IMPOSING FORCE OF MILITARY
ON HAND —MYSTERIOUS TRUNK FOUND.
The discovery on Saturday o! the body
of Mrs. Hawes (the wife of Richard
Hawes the railroad engineer), at the
bott m of Lake View, Birmingham, Ala.,
caused a tremendous excitement, and at
once steps were taken by many
citizens to lynch the incarcerated man.
The body of Mrs. Hawes was found
lying on the bottom of the lake at the
deepest part, about two hundred feet
from the shore. A hasty examination
wus made and there was found the final
evidence of a double murder. The hack
of the woman’s head had been laid open
by a terrible blow with an ax. There
was a frightful gaping wound, from
which the brains of the woman had
flowed out with her life blood. Securely
fastened around the woman’s neck was a
piece of railroad iron, which would
weigh fifty pounds. Another piece was
tied aroufid her waist and a third pifecc
around her ankles. The three pieces ol
iron will weigh 150 pounds. Two hours
after the finding of the body, two officers
went to the jail and informed Hawes ol
the find. He did.not change color, and
had little to say except deny all knowl
edge of the crime. The sheriff thought
it would be best to remove Hawes to
Montgomery, and he was asked if he
would be willing to don the uniform of a
policeman and walk through the streets
to the depot. When told that it was
risky, he replied he would prefer to re
main in his cell rather than take the
chances of showing his face on the street.
About thirty officers were stationed
around the jail, all armed with Winches
ter rifles. The other child which has
been missing has not been found, but
there is no longer any doubt that she,
too, has been murdered. The search foi
the body will be continued. The evi
dence against Hawes, secured is most
damaging, and it is now certain that he
had one accomplice, perhaps more than
one. Every statement he has made in
connection with the matter has been
proven untrue.
A search of the Hawes house disclosed
blood stains in almost every room. A
bloody trail leading in the direction oi
the lake waii also found. Facts have
been obtained showing that Hawes had
treated his wife most cruelly for some
time past. About two months ago he
beat her with a large stick, breaking one
of her arms and two ribs. He failed to
provide her with proper clothing or suf
ficient money, and she told several par
ties that he had threatened on several oc
casions to kill her. After the blood
stains in the house were found, the build
ing was left unguarded for two
hours, and when the officers
returned, some one had entered through
a window and washed away all traces of
blood, showing that there is an accorn
still at large.
* At about 2 o’clock Sunday morning,
about 3,000 citizens proceeded to the
jail with the intention of taking Hawes
out and hanging him. The jail is lo
cated in the center of the city, and is
approached through an alley. The alley
is about fifteen feet wide, and a hundred
long. The guard at the jail was ar
ranged up stairs at the window end
down stairs at the main entrance, while
those who were in the court house were
only a few feet away. As the mob en
tered the mouth of the alley, Sheriff
Smith advanced and, in a clear voice,
called out, “Stop!” The mob moved on.
Then the sheriff called out: “If you
don’t stop before I count three, I’ll order
the guard to fire.” The mob did not
stop. “I’ll give you another chance,”
cried the sheriff. “I’ll count five, and
then order the guard to fire. ” Persons
a block away heard the order, but the
mob apparently did not. The leaders
kept advancing, and the crowd pressed
close behind them. The sheriff, seeing
that the critical moment had come,
turned quietly upon liis heel and started
back towards the jail. He had been
standing ten feet from the main entrance,
and as he turned, the crowd took it as a
signal for victory, and with a veil began
to move faster. The sheriff halted in
the jail door a second, and raising his
hat yelled: “Fire, and fire quick and
fast.” Instantly the sharp report of the
Winchesters rang out and men fell tc
the ground, showing that the guard had
fired with deadly effect. The falling
men stopped the crowd. For a second
it hesitated, and then as quickly as it
came it turned and went back. With
the mob out of the alley, the wounded
could be seen lying upon the ground.
Then the officers, or some of them, left
the jail, and picking up the wounded,
carried them out. The city ambulance?
were summoned, and the wounded borne
away. Some were taken to one place
and some another. Bar-rooms and res
taurants close by were alike converted
into hospitals. In one restaurant three
wounded men lay upon the floor. In a
saloon less than a block away were twe
more, and in a drug store near by an
other. An undertaker’s place was made
a retreat for another, while others were
scattered about generally, some at their
homes and some in strange bousi s.

pmb's were ordered to the scene: Com

eight men; Company C, • Butler
Rifles, thirteen men; Battery D,
Birmingham Artillery, seven men;
Troop A, Montgomery Mounted Rifles,
twenty-five men; Anniston Rifles, thirty
nine men.
A careful investigation showed the
following list of killed: M. B. Throck
morton, postmaster; J. R. McCoy, a
brickmaker; A. B. Tarrant, a student;
A. D. Bryant, a bookkeeper; C. C. Tate,
a painter, Charles Jenkins, a carpenter;
Colbert Smith, a negro'; an unknown
negro; J. A. Braudon, a stranger.
The wounded are: Lawrence Fitzhugh,
a civil engineer on the Birmingham Min
>: ral; Charles Bailey, of Boston, Mass.;
A. J. Schide, a mechanic; Mr. Berkley,
a contractor; Charles Bailey, a brakeman
on the Louisville & Na-hville Railroad;
John 11. Merritt; Matt Kennedy; J. L.
Qwen;J. W. Gilmore; Albert Smith,*
(colored) who worked for the Louisville &
Nashville Railroad; a negro boy; W. A.
Bird; N. Reichw ein, is a German and
unmarried; J. W. Montgomery, a slight
wound on the left jaw. Nearly every
hour another wounded man is found.
Hawes had heard the threats through
the open window of his cell before the
firing and felt almost certain that an at
tempt would be made to lynch him.
From his window he fcould see the
throng, and for more than two hours he
was peering through the bars. He was
iu his shirt sleeves and looked out upon
the mob calmly and fearlessly. “But I
don’t see why we should be condemned,”
said Sheriff Smith. “VYe begged and
pleaded with the crowd to keep back,
and then they fired the first shots. Sev
eral shots were fired by the crowd before
I gave the order to fire. We begged
them to halt at the mouth of the valley,
but still they kept coming on. We
begged them to go back time and tim<
again, warned them that we would shoot,
but they would not cease. They bad tbe
way up the alley close up to the jail door,
and were shouting, ‘Dynamite.’ ‘Blow
up the jail with dynamite.’ After all
this, and after they opened fire, I gave
the fire.”
At the physiciaus’ offices, at the hos
pitals and*undertaking rooms, heartiend
ing scenes were witnessed. Strong
men in the agonies of death groaned
aloud, while skillful physicians d;d all
that could be done to relieve their suffer
ings. Men who had just been revived
from sleep by tbe news of the terrible af
fair crowded around operating chairs,
searching for friends or relations. All
night long crowds of people remained on
the streets, and of course talked of noth
ing but the terrible event of the evening.
After the appearance of the military at
the jail,“and the removal of,all the killed
and wounded, the crowd which still
lingered iu the vicinity, began to dis
perse, but soon congregated again at
points further down town. Capt. Clarke,
of the Jefferson Volunteers, was in com
mand of the military until the arrival oi
Col. Thomas G. Jones, and one of his
first orders was to place a strong guard
at every gun store in the city. A squad
of troops was placed at each point, and
all night long they remained on duty. It
was thought an attack would be made on j
the jail before morning, but all fear of
this was soon dispelled when day dawn
ed. A number of hot-headed men sug
gested that the jail be blown up with
dynamite, but even if any one seriously ;
thought of anything so desperate 'it
would have been impossible, because no
one had any of the deadly stuff,
and none could be obtained at
that time at the drug stores.
The feeling against Sheriff Smith was
very bitter, and he was freely denounced
for ordering his men to fire before he
ordered the riot act read; at least, the I
better class of citizens think he should
have ordered a volley fired over the
heads of the crowd, before mare deter
mined measures were ordered. During
Sunday’ he was discussed vigorously,
and about noon some one went before a ■
justice of the peace and swore out a war- j
rant charging the sheriff with murder. |
Sheriff Smith was arrested. Detective'
Pruitt was also arrested. Both men are ,
charged with murder, and the charge |
grew out of the shooting. Soon after i
the warrant charging Sheriff Smith with
murder had been sworn out, he was ap
prised of the fact. He knew just why
the p iper was issued by Justice Winkley,
and made no attempt to leave. The
paper was plar ed in the h inds of an
officer, who found the sheriff at the jail
and served it. Smith was anticipating
the arrival of the officer, and as he en
tered the jail door, remarked pleasantly,
“come in.” The officer walked in, and
pushing his hand into his pocket, said:
“Smith, I .” “Yes, I know what
vou want,” said the sheriff. “You want
me. You have a warrant for my arrest
chaiging me with murder. I ain here.”
Sheriff Smith smiled as he spoke and
pleasantly extended a hand to the officer.
The officer grasped the sheriff’s hand.
saying: “I am sorry, but .”
“Oh. that makes no difference,” said the
sheriff. I have been looking for you.
Now that I am your prisoner, what shall
I do?” “Remain where you are. Do as
you please. Only remain here. lam
responsible for you.” Mr. Smith is a
youDg man, almost beardless, but he is a
man of character and has many friends.
May Hawes was buried on Sunday.
Her remaines were laid to rest in Oak
Grove cemetery. There was no big fun
eral, only the undertakers and a few offi
cers went out with the l ody. Mrs.
Hawes’ body is in a vault at the cemetery.
It has been embalmed and will remain in
its present.resting place until the inquest
is completed.
Hawes was interviewed by a newspa
per man on Sunday, but his story proved
to be a tissue of falsehoods. Fannie
Bryant, his washerwoman, was also in
terviewed, and her account of her con
nection with the affair proved she was
not telling the truth.
The death asc brought to light has
turned the anger of the people upon
Mayor Thompson arid Sheriff Smith, and
to a great extent taken it away from
Hawes. Especially has this feeling been
directed towards the sheriff. When it
was known that a warrant was out for
Smith, some one in a crowd remarked:
“He had better stay in that jail than
come out.” The declaration was met
with great cheers. Detective Pruitt,
who Mas arrested, too, is well known.
He figured in a big shooting scrape in
Arkansas, and has the icputation of be
ing one of the coolest men in the world.
He takes his arrest calmly, as did the sher
iff. Sixteen other warrants have been and
are to be sworn out for parties who were
at the iail when the assault made.
Late Monday night, a negro was ar
rested and smuggled into jail under an
assumed name and an assumed charge.
The negro’s arrest was due to the suppo
sition that he had handled a missing
trunk. Among other articles missing
from the Hawes house, after the woman
and children disappeared, was a trunk.
That trunk was harder to find than the
woman or May, but it is believed that it
has been iocated at last. The officers
have been searching for the trunk con
stantly. In the trunk were some letters
belonging to Hawes and some clothing
belonging to • his wife. Some of the
clothing, which was known to have been
in the trunk, was found in an ash pile
near the house. An attempt was made
to burn the articles, but for some
cause it was not entirely successful.
On Tuesday morning, the detectives
found the trunk. They did not bring
the truuk because they don’t think it
prudent. But immediately after they
reached the city, they went before a jus
tice of the peace and swore out warrants
for two more negroes, who, it is asserted,
handled the trunk. The negroes were
arrested and carried to the jail. The de
tectives found the trunk on the othej
side of Red Mountain, about eight miles
from town. It had been secreted in the
woods, and near it were found the pieces
of a letter. The trunk was securely
locked, and when lifted appeared to
weigh about eighty pounds. Tbere -was
an odor about it which induced the offi
cers to believe they had found the body
of Irene. Fanny Bryant has made
another statement. The woman is weak
ening. While talking to her, she said |
to an official, “I asked Mr. Hawes on
Sunday, where Miss Emma was, and he
answered me.” “What did he say?”
“He said that she was where she’d never
bother him again.” The funeral of
Postmaster Throckmorton took place on
Monday afternoon from the Church of
the Advent. The funeral ceremonies
were conducted by Rev. Thomas J.
Beard, pastor of the church. The re- I
mains were interred in Oak Hill ceme
tery, and were buried with military and
lodge honors. A detachment of artillery,
of which the deceased was at the time of
his death captain, and a detachment of
the local military esco’tfc'd the remains to
the cemetery and fired rr salute over the
grave. A large number of the Birming
ham Protective Order of Elks of which
the deceased was a member, also attend- j
ed in a body. A long line of carriages, i
filled with friends of the deceased, fol- I
lowed the remains to the grave. The j
funeral was one of the largest and most
impressive ever held in Birmingham. J
Notes: Miss Maise Storey, who is* a ]
beautiful girl of twenty years, that !
Hawes mariied, has returned to her j
home in Columbia, Miss C. Cf Tate
and A. J. Brannon, before they died, as
serted that they only went with the
crowd out of curiosity At the request |
of Col. Jones, it is thought Hawes and ■
Sheriff Smith will be removed to the i
jail at Montgomery Several more of
the wounded men will die Hawes
does not seem to be at all disturbed and '
eats his meals with good relish.
