MnLRDoxvn.1R, GA, April % This
evening an infuriated mob repaired to
the County jail and demanded of the
jailer Horace Wilson, who was in the
Jail. convicted of manslaughter and SEN
tenced to the pepitentiary. Being re-
fused, they broke open the doors and
entered the cell occupied by Wilson,
and took him out and shot him to death.
twill be remembered that Wilson killed
gentleman in this place last year by
the name of McComb, and was sent to
your city to be put in the Fulton County
Jail for gafe-keeping. He was tried q few
days ago. and was sentenced to the peni-
tentiary for term of years. It seems
that this verdict did not meet public ap-
proysl. and that the crime he had com
mitted demanded more severe punish
ment than the one the jury saw proper
to inaiet Thus believing, this crowd of
men took the prisoner from mis- cell, and
Comb, was killed, he himself had to suf-
fer death.
