TRIAL FOR THEIR LIFE
last night at Bankstone Ferry.
According TO reports received. at this
place from a messenger who arrived
from the scene about one o'clock this
afternoon. the quickly constituted court
did not arrive at conclusion last
night. The negroes were arrested with
Lewis, who was lynched Friday atythe
time of the original crime. but were re-
leased on their promising to appear nett
morning as witnesses. They did not
put in an appearance when the trial
was ready to begin. and search was
made for them by the mob. The
search was quickly successful and the
negroes when caught were brought
back. Then the suspicion occurred that
they were y.
IMPLICATED WITH LEWIS
in the original crime. Assuming that
Lewis was guilty, suspicion naturally
pointed TO these three negroes. Ac-
cording TO their own story, they were
with Lewis the night before. The three
men testified that they slept in a cotton
house about mile and half from
the Smith house, where the horrible
butchery took place, and that Lewis
was with them all night, az least he was
there when they went to sleep and was

clsed by the ex- Candidate.
Atlanta, July 1.-Thomas e. Watson,
late Populist candidate for Vice. Presi-
dent, II an editorial in his Peoples Party
paper, issued to night, discusses the Pop
ulist conference to be held at Nashville
next week, and incidentally makes a
severe arraignment of National Chairman
Buffers policy In tn course of his edi-
torial he says:
eve would really like to know how
Populist principles are to grow by being
traded off, first to one of the old parties
and then to the other; and we especially
hunger and thirst to know how warfare
on both the old parties is to thrive when
an office barter exchange is established
with both. We trust the Nashville con-
ference will decide the vcxed question Of
fusion in such manner that no Populist
can be uncertain of the party doctrine.
Our own belief Is that no gentleman
will remain in the Peoples party il the
idea once gets abroad that Populism and
Hessianism are synonymous terms II
our voters are mere mercenaries to be
traded for office in any market where
there is demand for them, no decent
man will be caught in that company"
