to shoot him, killed negro man for report
ing them to the grand jury, burned the tan
merry and barn of Luke Robinson and whip
ped colored woman and her daughter in
Hancock county. The gang have taken
refuge in the swamps of Oconee and Oge-
chez. The grand jury of Hancock county,
now In session, have investigated the out
rage and are determined to bring the perpe-
traitors to justice. The people of Hancock
county are indignant at the outrage and de-

further outrage and infict summary justice
on the perpetrators. Judge Pattle, presiding
judge, will vindicate the majesty of the law
throughout his circuit.
