LYNCH LAW.
THB JAIL BROKEN OPEN.
The Xrpt Robert Wlllfaun* Sfcnt to Death hr
a Party or .Hep—Terrible Nenn at tho
Jail.
Our readers hare already been apprised
of the fact that Mrs. Anna Bridges, a
young married woman about sixteen
years of age, was brutally assaulted last
Thursday, while going from her sister’s
to her own house, by a negro named
Bobert Williams. Williams, it will be
recollected, struck her orer the bead
with a heavy stick and felled her to the
earth. The poor girl jumped up and
started to run, but was again stricken
down. A second time she arose and
once more the ruffian dealt her a terri
ble blow. He attempted to commit a
more fiendish outrage, but his victim
managed to escape and ran to her sis
ter’s honse, where she fell fainting in the
porch. She told what had happened
and gave-a description of the negro by
whom she bad been attacked. Constable
Newman and others immediately went
in pursuit of the negro, whom they
recognized by the description as a
road hand named Robert Williams. The
latter was soon found and confronted
with Mrs. Bridges, who identified him as
her
AiMilftßt.
Williams was brought to town by
Constable Newman, and carried b< tore
Justice Olin, who committed him to
jail to await the result of Mrs. Bridges’
injuries, which were of a very aerious
nature, her skull having been fractured.
Saturday vague rumors were afloat to
the effect that an attempt would be
made at night to lynch Williams. But
little attention was paid to these, how
ever, as they could not be traced to any
one. Besnlts showed that they were
correct. Last night, about eight o’clock,
Mr. T. C. Bridges, Jailer, noticed that
men were congregating at the corner of
the Parade Ground, just below the jail,
and be therefore deemed it best, in view
of the rumors which had reached his
ears, to have a guard at the prison. Pro
ceeding as rapidly as possible to the
City Hall, he notified Lieut. Prather,
the officer of the night, of the state
of uffairs, and called on him for
a guard. Lientenant Prather imme
diately responded and marched to the
jail with a detail of eight policemen,
armed with mnskets. Arrived at the
jail, the policemen went inside, while
Lieut. Prather stepped up to a crowd of
men at the corner of the Parade Gronnd
and informed them that he could not
permit any violence at the prison. The
men, who seemed to all be from the
country, declared that they intended to
have Williams in
Hpit* ol the Police.
Lient. Prather then expostulated with
them and told them that such things
would not be permitted in this commu
nity. If they attempted to use force he
would tie obliged to defend the majesty
of the law. Many of the men seemed dis
posed to listen to the officer and give
up the attempt, but two or three others
incited them on, and they finally decid
ed to force the jail. Lieut.-Prather con
tinued talking to them and ordering
them to disperse. Several times they
were on the eve of obeying but were
again prevailed by others to carry out
their original intention. Lient. Prather,
seeing that they were resolved to go in,
retired into the jail, from the door of
which he continued to expostulate
with the excited crowd iu the street,
which numbered about sixty men. Very
few oitizens were in the viciuity, only
five or six in fact seemed to know any
thing about it. People a square off were
not aware that anything unusual was oc
curring. The crowd at the gate hav
ing procured an ax ’, soon succeed
ed iu breaking down the outer
goto. They then rushed pell mell into
the yard, and up the steps of the jail.
Here they met another obstacle in the
shape of the heavy front door. Oace
more Lieut. Prather appealed to them,
and begged thorn to desist, and once
more it seemed aa if bis words would be
heeded. But the leaders of the move
ment agaiu urged the crowd on, and the
door iu a few ininntes was cut to pieoes.
Despite the efforts of the police, the
crowd rushed into
The ITnll
And dashed up the stairs that lead to
the second ftc'or. Here they were agaiu
stopped by the heavy iron grating. They
then seized Jailer Bridges, carried him
out into the street nd threatened to
shoot him if he did not deliver up the
keys. Mr. Bridges assured thepi that
he did not have them, and they flnully
let him go and turned their attention to
the grating, npon which they rained
blows from an axe. The locks yielded
at last and the crowd rushed to
the cell where Williams was con
fined. The door of tho oell was broken
open and the crowd at last found, them
selves face to face with the object of
their search, who was chained to the
floor. The chain was wrenched loose
and the crowd marched out into the
street with the prisoner, the chain clank
ing as they ran, oarried him a few paces
up Watkins street and there shot and
stabbed him to death. The body was
left lying on the sidewalk on the north J
aide of the street, and the crowd then j
dispersed.
Lieutenant Prather need every effort
io his power to preventjthe lynching, bat
tho squad of police under his command
was overpowered by force of uumbers.
He constantly pleaded and expostulated
-with the rioters, and several times his
efforts to provent violence were crowned
with apparent success, but each time
were frustrated by the appeals of the
leaders of the crowd. Mr. Bridges also
argued with the men and explained to
them how wrong violence ou their part
would be, but without avail - .
A brother of Robert Williams was
linng io the jail yard by the civil au
thorities during the war for rape.
Mrs. bridges, the young wife who was
assaulted by Williams, is iu a very pre
carious condition, ud her recovery is
doubtful.
With very few exception*, all of the
parties eugaged iu the lynching meto en
tire strangers in this oity. They made
uio attempt at disgnise. Very few citi
zens knew that any such affair was in
progreM, and the great majority of oitr
.readers will learu of it for the first time
<rom the columns of the Chronicle and
Sentinel this morning.

strong man is suddenly cut off in the
midst of his strength and long years
of usefulness. Mr. W. P. Caldwell, who
had been engaged the day before in
blasting rock in a well, went down Sun
day uiorniug it was supposed to see his
last charge, when he found the well full
of gas, and before he could reach the
top was so overcome that he fell back
and was suffocated. A negro man went
down after him and came very near
sharing the same fate. After fishing
for the body with a rope, it was at last
fastened and brought to the surface,
when all efforts tp resuspitaie him proved
vain.

The perfection and universality f)i that

benefit. We have seldom, if ever, heard
$ more logical, compact and beautiful

man of wonderful gifts, physical and

Monroe Advertiser: Some pf the ne
groes now incarcerated in the jail were
furnished tools, during the first part of
last week by outside parties, with which
to make their way out. They immediate
ly went to work and sncoeeded in rip
ping off several planks from the ceiling,
but were there stopped by a thick brick
wall which they were unable to pene
trate. Being foiled in this attempt, and
bent on making every effort to escape
from “duranoevile,” they forthwithlaid a
plot for knocking down the jailer,’when ;
he brought the next meal, and escaping
through the open door. A white man
i confined in the jad heard them diseuss
j ing this plan and found means to oom
j municate it to Sheriff MeCane. When
1 the hour arrived, therefore, for the con
i summation of all their cherished designs
I they were li£e many of the plans formed
! in this world, nipped in the bnd. When
j Sheriff M. stepped in tim jjoor of the
; prisoners’ room he found them awaiting
! aim* prepared to execute their purpose,
, but the sight pf a pistol covering them
I soon quelled their insurrectionary spirit;
j and this was the d• nounment of the
j plot. It is probable that had it not been
' for the timely warning given by the
■ white prisoner the attempt would have
] been successful.
j About 12 o'clock of ihn night of the
! 18th inst., the alarm of fire was given
jby the inmates of the jail. The jailor
| and other citizens hastened there, and
i discovered that the flames were just
1 bursting cat from the upper cell occu
j pied by Tom uavis and Jim Watkins.
I The flames were arrested on she outside,
j bat the fire on the inside had progress
-1 ed to saph an extent that it was impos
; sible to extinguish jfc, By the faithful
j exertions of the jailor the inmates were
taken out, without injury, though their
cell was ie a fall blaze when they left it.
Monroe Osborn, a popgned lunatic, who
occupied an adjoining cell, did the
loudest hollowing. The jail was anew
one, and had eost the county near
$2,500 besides the timber and material
of the old jail. Tom Davis and Jim
Watkins confessed to Betting the jail on
fire merely fr the purpose of making
their escape. They said that after they
got oat, that they intended to go an 1 in
form the jailor, so that he might take
Monroe Osborn out before be was con
sumed by the flames. This is a great loss
to the county,— F, anklin Feus.

A LESSON TAUGHT BY EXPERI
ENCE.
Among the many valuable lessons tanght
by experience, there is not one of great
er moment to the invalid portion of tbe
commnnity than the following, viz:
That alterative treatment is only perma
nently successful when aided by invig
oration. When the functions xf the
body are disordered, tbe use of a genial
tonic with which corrective properties
are combined is tbe speediest means of
regulating them. Such a tonic is Hos
tetter’s Stomach Bitters, the most popu
lar, as ic is the best article of its class.
For more tnan twenty-five years it has
been used with signal success as a
remedy for, and preventive of malarial
fevers, as a means of imparting strength
to the debilitated, and as a curative of
dyspepsia, biliousness, constipation,
kidney troubles aud uterine weakness.
Not only have multitudes of those whom
it has cured borne testimony in its be
half, but it has been repeatedly com
mended by the medical profession and
the press. aug27-d6Awl
ON THE FOURTH.
People are apt to overload their stom
ach by eating and drinking two much.
They get sick and feverish, the bowels
become constipated, the liver torpid,
apd general ill-health follows unless the
proper remedy is taken at oDce.
Those who have not tried “Merrell’s
Hepatine” lor the Liver, have no idea
how quickly these bad symptoms disap
pear by using this new discovery. There
is no need of enduring the torment

VALUABLE INFORMATION.
Boston, December 12, 1869.
Gentlemen— My only object in giving you
this testimonial is to spread valuable informa
tion. Having been badly afflicted with Salt
lihenm, and the whole surface of my skin be
ing covered with pimples and eruptions, many
of which caused me great pain and annoyance,
and knowing it to be a blood disease, I took
many of the advertised blood preparations,
among which was any quantity of Sarsaparilla,
without obtaining any benefit until 1 ooinnieno
ed tajupg thp VpofT;- e, before I bad
completed the first bottle I saw that I had got
the right medicine. Consequently, I followed
ou with it until I had taken seven bottles,
when I was pronounced a well man, and my
skin is smooth and entirely free from pimples
and eruptions. I have never enjoyed so good
health before, and I attribute it all to the use
of Vegetine. To benefit those afflicted with
Rheumatism. I will make mention also of the
Yegetine’s wonderful power of curing me of
this acute complaint, of which I have suffered
so intensely. C. H. TUCKER,
