ling, living near Selma, in Johnston
county, was surrounded by a party OF
masked men while on his way home Sat
urday night, tied 10 tree and shot to
death, twenty bullets being put into his
body. lie had made some threats
against peaceable citizen and was re-
turning home from magistrates trial,
where he had been TO answer summons
for peace warrant. His wife was in
the wagon with him. The mob threw a
rope over his head and dragged him out
and carried him far enough into tho
woods to prevent her from being an eye
witness to his fate.
Some time ago an old lady named
Cynthia Brown and her grandson were
found murdered in johnson county.
Mrs, Brown was Starling's mother-in-law
and there was n well founded suspicion
that Starting murdered her that he
might get possession of her money
through his wife. He was tried on the
charge of murder, but Startling had so
terrorized the community that il was
impossible to get any one 30 testify
against him and he was acquitted for
want of sufficient evidence TO convict
Later on the houses of two people who
made themselves conspicuous in the trial
against him were burned People of the
community thought this was Starling's
vengeance. They determined to submit
to his terrorization no longer and on Sat.
nrday night they banded together. took
him from his wagon and left his lifeless
body tied to tree near his house as
related.
