Two Good Citizens Were Given Many Lashes
by White Caps Near Gsdsden
Gadsden. Ala, March G.-tSpeclal.)-
Cherokee county comes to the front again
with brutal crime that was pefpetrateh
by well-known citizens-two innocent men
were given seyentv-eight lashes with hickory
switches.
Sunday morning at 1 o'clock twenty-six
masked and unmasked men went to the
home of VIII and Wyle Pruitt, living at
Pogue's cross roads four miles from Lees
burg. and breaking down the door dragged
the men from their beds out into the colo
and. stripping their night clothes from 'helr
backs to their waists. forced them TO s'aho
at the point of shotguns while each Oh the
twenty-six men in turn gave them three
lashcs on the bare back with heavy hickory
switches. Each lick cut to the bone, laying
bare the flesh for six inches in length, III
which one could lay his finger
With every stroke of the cruel hickorles
the men would utter Shrek after shrek
as their flesh was cut, finally fanting from
sheer exhaustion Then the devils i'll human
shape took their departure.
While the men were being whipped part
of the white caps went in the house. where
they marched the women to the door under
cover of guns and made them Watch the
beating OF their HUSBANDS. LIE diI "aS
pierced with the screams of the children
and the means of the women. The screams
of the women and men were heard several
miles away.
AS the white caps took their leave they
told the men to go to Il certain Baptist min
ister bare thch' backs and show them to
him and then to leave the country by 10
o'clock Monday or they would return tonight
and kill them.
The cause of this horrible crime was be-
cause the Prritt brothers told Deputy
United States Marshal Daniel where an il
lict still was in operation which he de
stroycd.
The Pruitts recognized their assailants
and they will be punished to the full eX-
tent Of the law. Among the white caps
were officers of the law and l"en C. high
standing.
Wylie Pruitt was in Gadsden today. He
says he does not know how they stood
the beating, for with every stoke the flesh
was cut to the bone. and the blood gished
forth in streams, soaking their clothes as
though dipped in water.
The Pruitts are law-abiding citizens and
their cruel treatment has aroused the peo-
pie who are determined that the perpetra-
tors shall suffer.
Nothing succeeds in removing coughs and
colds like DR.. Bulls Cough Syrup.
