Should ssieze several white women and

them submit to their embraces. The ne
groes consented but the whites secured
evidence that such a conspiracy existed,
and they took steps to guard their homes
In the meantime the negroes began to
leave the country One of those who left
was Burgis, who went to Georgia, where
he was apprehended. An officer returned
with the negro but he was suddenly con-
fronted with between seventy-five and one
hundred mounted men. Being overpowered
there was no other alternative but tc
give Birsis up and he was soon seen
hanging from tree.
