M Kissman the package which he vas
instructed to get in the city, and said that

of him at the station.
Asbury has been employed at Pooler
about two years. He has a wife and two
children. He was born in Richmond
county near the line Of Burke, and has
borne a very bad reputation ever since he
was fifteen years old, and has
several times assaulted colored
| girls. His brother was lYnched
between Millen and Augusta three years
ago for the same Offenss.
Adarine Crump. a respectable colored
woman living in Pooler, said that she had
known Asoury all his life. He came to hec

that he was running from the officers. They
were after him for assaulting a white
woman. he said. She knew that he was
very bad man and said that the colored peo
pie feared him. She said that he had beat
bis wife numerically many times since he
had lived in Pooler.
Mr.. Newton, who employed Asbury, said
that the negro bore a bad name, but
that be was good laborer
THE SCENE or THE ASSAULT.
The house in which the assault was made
Is all three-roOm cottage, a few rods
South Of NewtOn's saw mill and about two
hundred yards from the nearest neighbors'
house. Asbury had 10 pass thej house in
going to his own house, which is just be-
yond the saw mill. He passed the house
where the mother was visiting at a neigh
bors and saw her sitting on the porch and
had just left the father at the station, so
that he knew the girl was alone. His plans
were well laid and he would have
accomplished his purpose if the colored man
burgess had not came to the rescue.
Burgess said that when Asbury found that
he was likely to be taken he became des-
perate, and when Burgess dragged him
from the house he tried 70 strike him, but
grasp and got away.
AsBURY's SECOND ASSAULT.
Asbury then went to the house of Mr..
Grayson, about a mile and a half from
Pooler, and assaulted Mrs Grayson, striking
her a severe blow on the head with the butt
of gun. She gave an alarm, and when
the negro ran to the door to see if any one
was coming, she escaped out Of the back
door.
The respectable colored people of Pooler
and the surrounding country who
heard of the assault made by
Asbury were as anxious for mis- cap
ture as were the white people. Dir.
Bleakney, who attended the girl, said that
she will survive the shock all right, but it is
doubtful if she will recover the sight of her
lett eye, which is badly swollen.
Asbury's wife did not go down to sec the
body of her'husband She stayed at home,
close, all day. She will take charge of the
remains when the coroner has made his in
vestigation.

and began to punish each other viciously.
The iron molder was the shorter Of the

scientific, and while he received some
heavy body blows, ne countered upon the
countenancs of the painter and blackened
his peppers by some straight hits from the
shoulder.

A squad of colored boys engaged in rock

the police and their prisoners were followed

attempt or talk of attempting to release the
lads. IL appears that the young African
