CUT DOWN AND BURIED.
The Coroner's Investigation OF the
Pooler Lynching.

The Coroners Investigation OF the
PoOler Lynching.
The little town Of PoOler is quiet. The
dead body of Asbury, the negro who was
lynched Sunday morning, was brought
down to Savannah yesterday by Acting
Coroner Naughtin and was buried in the
colored cemetery at Laurel Grove by the
coroner. The wife Of the dead man refused
TO have anything to do with it. She went
down to the place Of the hanging at the re-
quest Of Justice bevaus 10 see the body just
before it was cut down, and carried
her children along with her. She said She
was satisfied and the coroner might take
the body and do with it whatever he
wanted t. do.
Justice Naughtin went up on the O'Clock
train TO Pooler and went down 10 where
Asbury was hanging with the rope around
his neck. The neck seemed to be full three
inches longer than it was the morning
after the lynching.
Justice Bevaus had Jury impaneled by
the time the acting coroner arrived, and it
was sworn in by Justice Naughtin. He
called for the witnesses, but no one ap-
peared. The jurors were called together
and signed the follow ing verdict:
Walter Asbury came TO his death Aug. Il at
the hands Of some person or persons unknown
TO US.
Hugh Hart, from the Four Mile Hill. was
foreman Of the jury. The other jurors
were Poolerites. After the verdict was
signed. the body of the negro was cut down; ,
the rope was unfastened from the telegraph
pole, and the body was lowered into the
coffin. portion Of the Negroes clothing
was removed, and the bullet holes were
visible in his body.
Justice Naughtin asked if the wife of
the dead man wanted to take charge of
the body, and when he was told that she
did not be had the coffin closed and the
body was brought to the city on the 9
O'clock train None of Asburys family,
some OF whom now live in Richmond
county, came near the scene of the hang
ing. A subscription was made up for his
wife by the people IN Pooler and the woman
will leave next week and go back to Millen,
where her people live.
DR.. Bleakney came into the city late
yesterday afternoon. He said that the vic
tim of Asbury's assault is much better Her
eye is still IN a serious condition, but she is
able TO be out. DIR. Bleakney also attended
Mrs. Grayson, who was victim Of the ne
gro's desire. Her wounds are much more
serious than it was reported yesterday. The
entire side of her face is a bruise, and one
of her eyes is closed.

THEIR STORIES DIFFER.

The Mayor Investigating Policeman
McDonald's Assault Upon Parr
The Mcdonald Parr case came up before
Mayor Schwarz yesterday morning but no
witnesses were present. The mayor was
informed that there were witnesses who
may throw light ON the case, and he ordered
a further hearing this morning The wit
nesses were subpRnaed yesterday
Mcdonald, who is a Central railroad
policeman and is also night Waterman at the
the National Bank of Savannah, dubbed
Parr severely III the Screven house late
Sunday night and afterward took the man
To jail. The statements of Mcdonald and
Parr differ widely. Parr said that the
attacks by the policeman were uncalled for
and brutal Mcdonald said that Parr
attempted an uncomfortable assault upon
his person and his assault upon the man
was provoked
Parr swore out a warrant in Justice Rus
sells court charging Mcdonald with assault
with intent to murder Mcdonald rendered
bond and the case was turned over to a
higher court.

A MEETING LOOKED For.
THE BOARD COMPLETE NOW.
Col A. R. Wofford the Third Railroad
Assessor.

Col A. R. WOfford the Third Railroad
Assessor.
Col. r. B. Nisbet of Eatonton and Hon.
r. F. Watts of Lumpkin, appointed by the
governor to assess the Savannah. Florida
and Western railway property, have been
here since the latter part of last week await
ing the arrival of the other assessor. who
was Gen. Phil Cook. His recent accident
rendered it impossible for him to fill the ap-
pointment, and Comptroller Wright wired
Col. NlSbet yesterday afternoon that Col
A. K. Wofford has been appointed to fill
Gen. Cooks place on the
board. Col. Wexford is a rep
resentative citizen of Fulton county
He will reach here this morning.
The board has thoroughly looked over all
the Savannah, Florida and Western rail
ways property in Savannah, and it is not
likely that Col. Woford viii have another ex-
animation made. He will accept the reports
OF the two assessors who made the examina-
tion. If he does, it is likely that the sp cial
train bearing the assessors and Comptroller
Mckee and Supt. Fleming will leave
for Jacksonville this morning.
The train will go through
to Jacksonville and careful inspection of
the line will be made. Returning up the
Jacksonville line to Waycross the party
will take up the Chattahoochee and Thomas
vile lines, and tee Monticello and Thomas
vile line and the Brunswick and Albany
division. There are 40 miles of road to be
examined and it will require about three
days to make the inspection.
