AN AWFUL CRIME IN TWIGGS.
A FARMER MURDERED by HIS
WIFE AND A NEGRO.

His Daughter and Four other Ne
grOes Under Arrest Charged With
Being Accessories Before the Crime
One of the Negroes Suspected of
Improper Relations With the MUIR
dered Mans Wife.
Macon, Ca, June 25.-A most horrible
story Of crime and depravity comes from
Twiggs county to-day. hard-workire
farmer named Mobiles, who lived near
Danville. has been murdered by a negro,
it is said, at the instigation of Mobiles own
wife and with the knowledge Of his young
daughter.
The negro murderer, the two white wo-
men and four other negroes charged with
being accessories to the crime before it
was committed are in jail at jefferson
vile, having been taken there from the
neighborhood Of the crime this morning
by Sheriff Griffin and a posse.
Mobiles was an honest. inoffensive farm
er who, while poor, was well thought OF
by his neighbors. His family relations
were not at all pleasant, his wife hav-
ing shown a penchant for doing things
which no self-respecting woman should
do. Her actions, so it is said, had given
rise to many differences.
One day last week Mobiles disappeared
and shortly after his disappearance, the
neighbors, for some reason. began to
think that his disappearance was suspi-
cious. A seach was organized, and ul-
timately a newly-made grave was found.
1t was opened, and the body Of the unfor-
tunate farmer was found. An examna-
ton showed that his head had been beaten
into a jelly, either with hatchet or
an ak.
Suspicion pointed to a negro man in
the neighborhood, who was suspected of
having improper relations with the Mobiles
woman and hunt was instituted for him.
He was found with some little difficulty
and placed under arrest. He acknowl-
edged having committed the crime at the
instigation of the wife of the murdered
man, she, he claimed, had struck the first
blow and he had finished up the awful
bHtchery.
The woman also confessed, when she was
arrested, and said that she had paid the
murderer $40 to kill her husband. She de-
MED the statement that she had struck
the first blow. 1t is not known whether
the motive for the awful crime was the re-
suit of a quarrel or simply a desire to get
rid of the old man because he was in the
way and prevented her from following the
bent of her inclinations.
When the murderer was first arrested,
there was a strong feeling in favor Of
lynching him, and this course would prob
ably have been taken had it not been for
the fact that the testimony of the murder
er was necessary to convict his accom-
plices
