RACE TROUBLE IN FLORIDA.
TWO NEGROES KILLED AND A MURDERER
LYNCHED.
THE FIGHT STARTS AT A PUBLIC GATHENNG=
a WHOLE VILLAGE IN KRMs.
tBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE


tBY TELEGRAPH TKIBCNE1
Gainesville, Fla, Jan. l2.-Reports just received
from MicanOpy, fifteen miles south Of here, in
Alachua County, give an account of double mur-
der there last night during race riot and the
lynchng of the negro murderer this morning.
About O'Clock in the evening, tight-rope walker
was giving an exhibition in the public square.
Nearly the whole village had turned out To
see it, and there were probably over 800 peo-
pie present-the whites one side OF
the square and the negroes on the
other. While the performance was
still in progress, Henry Hinson, negro, walked
from the coored side of the crowd and
began moving about boisterously and oiensively
among the white women.
w. Jefferson Chitty, well known and respected
citizen, stepped up to him and politely asked him
to move over to the other side among his own
people This enraged the negro and he was heard
to remark as he walked away:
Pm going to kill JEFF Chitty and Charley
Purdy-see if | don't"
Purdy is the town marshal. Ten minutes
later IIinson returned. and walking I'D
to Chitty, took deliberate aim and shot him twice
through the heart Chitty fell TO the ground
speechees and died inside of twenty minutes.
The greatest excitement followed the firing
of the shot. There was a general drawing
of weapons only few people knowing
exactly what had happened. The crowd surged
backward and forward in the half-darkness and
blows and pistol shots became general. Within
the next five minutes over thirty shots had been
fired Men were shooting and women shrelIing, and
those not actually participating in the fight were
screaming and scrambling madly to get away
from ii.
The only lights were those from the open stores
and buildings near by and from the lamp set
up by the trapeze performer, which fickered
and smoked, throwing weird and uncanny
light on the scene. During all the confusion
the tght-rope man sat balancing himself in
chair on the table high above the crowd. The
murderer escaped When the smoke Of battle
had finally cleared away, John Jones, friend
of the murderer, found lying dead in
the street several squares distant lie
had evidently been shot during the fight and
had tried to get home, but fell dead before he
reached shelter.
\ posse was at once organized by the marshall
TO run down the murderer. lie was found about
midnight at q house five miles from town.
was captured brought back and confessed his
guilt. The officers placed him in jail with
strong guard about it. At 3 O'Clock this morning
MOB of 90 armed men appeared at the jail and
dragged the murderer out. lie Eas taken back
into the public square and TO the very spot
where he had done the bloody deed.
Here rope was fixed about his neck and in
few minutes his body was swinging from a
cedar tree. which stood conveniently near Ah
o'clock tonight the body was still suspended
