An Orderly Mob Breaks Open the Jail
Orderly and Orderly Hangs n Prisoner
NASHVILLE, May 2-The fact that Gov
ernor Buchanan's soft words turned away
wrath Friday night, and sent the mob
away did not prevent it coming back
Saturday afternoon, and lynching Eph
Grizzard, brother of the negro who was
lynched Thursday, for the outrage at the
Bruce house, near Goodlettsville The
mob Saturday afternoon had no trouble
at all. There was no guards, no governor,
adjutant general and nobody else.
And Nashville Is the State Capital.
There were only 200 men. armed with
guns and revolvers, who marched to the
jail in an orderly manner. Several men
mou nted the iron fence and front and
dropped over inside. The lock of the door
had already been broken, and the doors
were pushed open. Jailer Willis met them,
and 10 him the leader said: ave have come
for Eph Grizzard, and intend to have him. +"
Got Him just Too Easy.
And they got him almost without pro-
test; took him through the streets of Nash
vile the shortest route to the bridge over
the cumberland, hanged him there and
filled his body full of bullets Then the
mob permitted an inquest and the coroner
didn't know who did it, after which the
mob went back to Goodlettsville. There
were a number of negroes along, and they
took A hand in the fun.
