Saturday afternoon four young ladies,
Hiss Newell Brown, the young daughter of
+. 5. Brown, Lithonia's postmaster; two
daughters Of r. o. Phillips, and another
young lady went out into the country Just
above Lithonia to gather wild flowers. The
flowers Of spring have begun to bloom in
protuson, and 10 thick swamp near the
railroad quarries the young ladies' became
separated. Miss Brown and Miss Phillips
emerging from the swamp, and with their
arms full of flowers they had gathered,
started back tn Lithonia. They had pro.
ceeded but a short distance when two ma
groes came upon them, catching hold of
Miss Brown, dragging her into the cover of
the dense swamp. Miss Phillips ran
screaming for help. The men at
the quarry heard her cries and
quickly responded. In an excited manner
she told them Of what had happened, and
quickly they began q search for Miss
Brown. She was soon found with her
clothing badly torn and one shoe gone. The
black brutes had dragged her into the
thicket and had almost torn her clothing
from her While she was still struggling
with them the men came up and frightened
the negroes away. Miss Brown said that
one of the negroes had drawn a deadly
knife, threatening to kill her if she ever
told of the assault The brutal assault
created furious excitement IN Lithonia, and
a vigorous search for the black brutes was
begun. If they had been captured justice
swift and sure would have been meted out
TO them. At midnight Sheriff Austin of
Decatur went down to Lithonia with pack
of trained blood-hounds to track the
wretches.
