FAYETTEVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 4.-Early
this morning, en- the farm of Jack Daniels
near Lynchburg, Ned Waggoner, his son
Will and daughter Eliza, and his son-in-
law, Motlow, ali colored, were found hang
ing to one tree. The cause assigned for
their fate is that they supposed to
have been implicated in the numerous barn
burnings which have taken place i'm Moore
and Lincoln counties recently. Ned Wag-
goner was a rather large negro, and il is
supposed the first attempt of the lynchers
was unsuccessful in mis- case as a broken
rope, with the hangman's knot on it, was
found under the tree near him, and another
one had been procured from the well bucket
of a neighbor, by which rope he was found
hanging. The bodies were discovered by the
driver of the Lynchburg and Fayetteville
stage, soon after daybreak this morning.
A Tullahoma dispatch gives the following
additional particulars: "a mob of over two
hundred men, all mounted on horses and
part of them masked, from the west end of
Moore county, went to Ned Waggoner's
house and took out Waggoner and his son
William. his son-in-law, Sam Motlow, and
Sam Motlow's wife Eliza. All were then
hanged to tree on the Bonneville turn
pike. Ned Waggoner's wife was terribly
whipped and given three days in which to
leave the county In the house at the time
the negroes were taken out were Henry
Motlow and Jeff Wise, a boy twelve years
old. They state that they did not recog
niZe any of the mob. All of the negroes
hanged were said to be desperate charac
tiers. They were charged with house and
barn burning they having been overheard
making their plans. The mob, it appears,
was sure of their guilt. The trouble orig
mated from Ed Waggoner being convicted
and sent to the penitentiary last year for
stealing wheat from Mr.. Womack, a farmer
in that part Of the county. Sam Motlows
wife last year entered Mr. Hobbs's house,
and robbed and then burned it. Motlow was
a desperate character, and attempted to
kill Mr. bowers, son of a prominent man
of that county, a few weeks ago. The ne
groes were charged with burning Mr..
Hobbss house last year. Mr.. Spencer's
barn two weeks ago, and several other
barns recently"
