has caused n reactionary feeling here, and
a number OF citizens who at first expressed
approval OF the act now condemn it, and
want the ringleaders of the mob punished
Chief Judge Henry Page has ordered u

the lyuching leaders The governor is
determined To take vigorous action 10

Attorney Tull says he has the name of
a youth of nineteen from the county who
placed tie rope about Andrews neck.
II thc names of the men who did the
hanging can be ascertaiaed. their prose-
culon viii follow, as the Testimony OF
the doctor before the coroner's inquests
show that the negro died from strangu-
non, and the men who manipulated the
rope are responsible for his death.
The more brutal features of the lynching
of Andrews have not been told.

heavy boots Men stood around while

lay on the ground, and they battered
his face with pieces Of bricks until their

As the reaction has set in now the com
