BOWDOIN GLEE AND MANDOLIN
CLUBS.

The directors Of the Bowdoin Glee and
Mandolin clubs are preparing an especial
ly fine programme from thoir repertoire
for the approaching engagement at kotz-
SEMINAR Hall, and the music loving peo-
pie of Portland will assuredly fill the hall
to hear the selections that have received
the most fattering endorsements from
press and public all over the State. Mr.
Arthur Hyde.of Bath, the talented young
composer and brother Of Miss Ethel Hyde,
the we'll known singer, speaks in glowing
terms of praise Of the concert by the Bow
dom clubs recently given in Bath. Prof
William R. Chapman Of New York. in
addition to the lavish words of praise ex-
pressed in the PRESS of last week, has
endorsed the excellence Of this musical
organization by recently Offering to con-
duct q rehearsal of the two clubs.
The Bowdoin Glee and Mandolin COM
bination has never had such large mem
bership, such we'll trained and effective
singers and players, nor such pleasing
repertoire of music. The opening num-
Der by the Mandolin Club, wo under
stand, is the Bride Elect March from
Sousa's latest opera, and the selection OF
this NUM- Der shows the progressivness of
the Bowloin manager. The remainder
of the programme promises delightful
entertainment. The rollicking hunters
song, 'sWe are Foresters Free and Bold, +"
by the Glee Club deserves special men
ton.

refuge of the church and wanted
to remain there as long as they
could.
At one time plan was proposed
to slip the negroes out of a window
or door and by dividing up get
them out of reach before the crowd
could discover the ruse, but all of
these plans failed. One leader
got up on the staircase and said
he washed his hands of the whole
business, as his efforts did not seem
to be appreciated in the Republican
section. He asked friends to
retire with him. They Kicked up
and started away, but it is said
they came back to the scene. Dark
ness, home duties, disgust and de-
lay, uncertainty as to whether the
prisoners had been slipped away,
and the appeals all combined to
reduce the crowds.
About $50 o'clock, when it was
thought the pleadings had had the
desired effect, and the crowd was
much thinned, the three chief
prisoners had their hands tied so
as to appeal in their helplessness
to the crowd. A strong guard,
with Is or 20 men, surrounded the
prisoners. They marched out OF
the chrch, the deputies saying the
man would be protected. The
coup surprised those outside, the

the distance between the prisoners
and followers was decreasing, those
ahead of the pursuers cried for
their friends to come on. A rush
was made, and in moment the
firing began. The guards say they
were seized and made to let 60
their prisoners. Before a thing
could be done someone cried to
the negroes to run for their lives.
They broke and ran. This gave a
space between the posse and
guards and The firing began. It
crashed like artillery fire. After
the first flash it looked like fifty
for seventy-five guns. There was
a cry, "Don't shoot this way" 1t

instant there was another crash of

another, until there was general
cry to stop shooting, and even then
there was a spasmodic fire into
the dead bodies as they lay in the
road to Edgefeld. When the
smoke cleared the bodies of Luther

back door and secreted, and in time
be taken. to the jail at Edgefeld
Great and energetic were the ap-
peals that nothing be done, as the
time was not yet ripe.
The Rev Mr. Mealing got up on
the church steps first and pleaded
that the prisoners be allowed to 60
to Edgefield.
Mr. J. Mouson Smith, who
conduted the examinations, begged
that the case be adjourned, and
that all go home and justice would
be had. There need be no fear of
the guilty escaping.
The Rev Henry Mcmillan made
a pathetic appeal. He said he had
wept to day for the dead, but there
was no humanity or righteousness
in vengeance. The crowd was not
convinced of the guilt of anyone,
and fuller justice would be done
by waiting.
The crowd said he was a preacher,
and man went Up to him, and
taking him by the hand, said:
"Mr Mcmillan, I love you, but l
can't do what you ask. I'm think
ing of my wife at home"
Sheriff Ouzts said he appealed
as a friend and as sheriff that no
harm be done the prisoners. He
would protect the prisoners to the
bitter end, and he appealed to his
friends, for they were all such, to
remember the position, it would
place him in if i'll came to his
prisoners. He asked for Gods
sake that the negroes be left alone,
if for no other reason.
Voice: "Sheriff tell US about
that poor woman over yonder in
her grave"
Mr. N. GEvans said no one had
gone further than he to find the
guilty parties. He had worked
day and night to that ends and he
wanted his friends to let the law
take it's course. 1t would be unfor-
tunate if some innocent person
should be killed. The guilty had
not yet been fixed, and by waiting
all of those implicated could be
caught, when to rush into lynching
now would spoil the whole thing.
Let it rest for few hours. The
case can be tried in thirty days,
and he was satisfied the guilty
would suffer. If not. then would
be the time to act.
This advice, however, did not
suit the crowd at all.
Mr. P. B. Lanham, foreman of the
jury, said that that the jury had
not yet sufficient evidence on which
to fix the responsibility on any
particular persons. He appealed
to the manhood of his friends to
let the law take its course and to
sustain Sheriff QUITS.
Voice: Gall they want is to
make speeches, and before they
know some one elso around here
will be killed before Saturday"
REPRESENTATIVE Strom, Ex-
Member of the Legislature Getzen,
Glover, Sheriff QUITS, DIR Robert
Mackay and many Others circulated
in the crowd, and begged the men
to go home and let matters rest.
Some did go home, but they went
very slowly. The plan of taking
the prisoners out OF the back door
failed, as men were on the lookout
on all sides of the building.

his evidence, and all put him about
the place of the place Of the killing
at the exact hour.
+. Then the jury and the crowd
concurred that Mackey and Sulliv-
m "knew something" abaut tie
killing they knew who did it, and
they were in the plot, for the
general impression as gathered is
that Wash Mackey fathered a plan
to kill Mr. Atkinson and thereby
free the neighborhood of it's white
citizen, and that Luther Sullivan.
who Lad just returned home, was
used to do the killing, and that
other were in the plot; that Jim
Mackey was a leader and would
have done the killing, but the lot
fell to another. Squire Green and
Andrew Lee were at first implicated
but they satisfied the jury of their
innocence. Lees candor saved
him, and when someone cried at
the height of the colloquy between
Lee and Mackey, "Give them guns
and let them fight it out" Lee
spoke up and said, "Yes, give us
guns and I'm willing to fight it
out" Lee claimed the protection
of the jury for his disclosures: and
was assured no harm would come
to him while in their charge.
The evidence logged tediously
along. Finally about 5 o'clock all
the witnesses present had been ex-
amined and the impromptu Court
was cleared for the jury. Jim
Mackey was brought in for pump
ing. He told another story. and
this time he said Luther
Sullivan had done the shooting.
First it was Green, then Lee, and
last Sullivan. Then Sullivan was
brought before the jury to face
Mackey. He was told of his
trouble and then swore that Wash
Mackey had proposed tLat they
kill Mr. Atkinson, as he was the
only white man about and was
always watching them, and that
Jim Mackey did the killing, that
he saw him behind the tree waiting
for the Atkinsons.
Meanwhile the crowd, fully 250
strong, was outside waiting. Six
o'clock came and there
was no sign of a verdict, no sign O:
conclusion; the cross Gamma
tion was still progressing. Seven
o'clock come, and the situation the
same. The two negroes were
weaving cords around each others
necks. The crowd was getting
impatient, very impatient. They
wanted action, inality, any sort
of a conclusion. There we're many
who came for vengeance for the
blood of Mrs Atkinson. They
swore they would have it. They
were willing to wait on verdict,
but there must be verdict. Peace
emissaries mingled about, but to
no good with some, Then about s
o'clock another 1use was tried.
The men patiently waiting outside
were to be appealed to 60 home and
let the law take its course, and
while this was going on the princi-
pals were to be slipped out of the
