Three Negroes Played Alive and Burned
for Outrage and Murder.
MADISON. Fla, May 2o.-There is no
longer doubt that Sam Echolds Sam
Crawley and John Brooks, the negroes
who outraged. and murdered Miss Mamie
Armstrong, in La Fayette county, were
hayed and burned. man who has
reached this place from Ls Fsyette
county says the belief Is general that
the negroes were tortured to death,
One man who ventured into the
swamp into which the negroes were
carried asserts no found the place where
the negroes were put to death. He
says that it was evident that the neQroes
were tied to trees and the skin stripped
from them. Then the wood was heaped
about tho bleeding forms, the match
applied and the wretches were soon
dead. This man says he found come
strips OF skin about the place which
bears out the assertion that the negroes
were tlsyed.
Everything Is quiet In La Fayette
county, and there is no fear OF trouble
between the races. The better class OF
negroes denounce the outrage and MUIR
der OF Miss Armstrong as bitterly as the
whi1es. Twelve negroes have now been
lynched in six months, and it would
seem that the horrible fate of the last
three should prevent further attacks
upon white women. The whites have
formed band, and are determined to
protect their wives and daughters
