A LEAP FOR LIBERTY.
Nancy Hawkins Jumped From a Moving
Train. Made His Escape Bnt
Was Recaptured.

On Monday morning Sheriff J. NJ
Meroney, of Lincoln county, and hi,
deputies took the Warmer lynehers
from the jail here and PLACED them on
board the cars for the purpose q
carrying the prisoners to Warner
where they We're to be tried for the
lyHehing Of Nelson on the 18th oil
November last. They were hand
culfed together, two and two, Yaney
Hawkins with Edmond Taylor.
WI hen the train was within one
mic of Warner, Yancy Hawkins un-
locked himself from his companion.
made q break for the door and
jumped from the train as it was run
ming at the rate OF forty miles an
hour Sheriff Meroncy followed him
and he, too, jumped from the moving
train. Both parties struck the
ground with terrible thud. rolling
over and over and almost losing
coRsciousne
Hawkins arose first and started off
at rapid pace. Sheriff Meroney
gained his feet and began firing at
his retreating prisoner, none of his
shots, however, taking effect Ii SO
happened that a planterby the name
OF +. L. Dyer, who was on the way
to his field, took in the situation and
when Hawkins approached him he
drew his revolver and ordered him to
throw UP his hands. Hawkins knew
Dyer and, realizing that To run
further was instant death, SUR
rendered.
When the train drew up at Warner
about 200 negroes had assembled at
the depot When they found that
Hawkins had escaped they made
break for the locality where he had
Jumped from the train. The sup
position is from the mad rush they
made that these negroes intended to
see that Yaney Hawkins made his
escape when he got off the train at
the Warner depot. 1t was learned
afterwards that horse was found
standing hitched near where Haw-
kins leaped from the train, evidently
to be used by him in effecting his
escape.
When the prisoner was recaptnrea
he had on his body the key to the |
handouts and two shells for 1t No.
10 gun loaded with the largest sized
buek-shot. The conclusion drawn
froif this is that it had been planned
that he should Jump from the train
where he did, mount the horse that
was hitched near by, and to defend
with Il gun, evidently inread-
mess for him and thus make his es-
cap"- Now, the question arises,
where and from whom did he get
possession OF the key to the hand
cuffs and of the shells loaded with |
buck-shot. Sheriff Meroney thinks
that they were given to him while in
Jail in this city, and not on the cars
as was thought by some. Under all |
circumstances Il deep, dark and
bloody plot was inaugurated where
by Yancy Hawkins, the leader of the
mot, should gain his liberty. Who /
did it no one nows Sheriff Meroney /
is to be congratulated first, that he
did not lose his own life in jumping
from the train, and second that he
his prisoner.

HIsroRY oE TIE cAsE

About enc week before the above
occurrence this man Nelson had some
difficulty with IN old negro named
Belts, who lived near Warner. about
some rents Belts went to Nelson's
house to settle up the matter about
some rents due Belts mothel-in-law
which they claimed Nelson had re-
ceiyed from n man named Hill With
instructions that the money be turned
over to the women Nelson denied
having received the money. This
brought about a quarrel and with
out any warning Nelson suddenly
drew an ak struck old man Belts Il
blow and severed his right leg from
his body. The old man fell PROSTATE
TO the ground and his assailant jun
ped on him with both feet and STAN
ped him to death. Nelson was arres-
ted and placed in Jail ut NaInar. ON
the night OF the 18th of November
last the allowed named negroes in
dicted for murder went to the Jail at
Varnaf, broke ii open got possession
OF Nelson and completely riddled his
body with bullets and afterwards
tried to set it ON fire. The officers at
once proceeded to arrest the parties
engaged in the lynching. Judge J.
NJ. Elliott and Pros. Atty. Smith G.
Martin went to Warmer and aided
Sheriff Meroney, Of Lincoln county
in the detection and arrest OF the
guilty parters. Yaney Hawking who
was the leader OF the mob made
confession when arrested, giving the
names ofall the otherparties Beyond
doubt Nelson would have expiated
his crime with hangsman's rope
about his neck. He however was
the victim of the hellish and infnri-
ated mob, but now his lynchers will
reap their just reward at the hands
OF the law that they boldly ignored
and trampled under their feet.
