HENDERSON WAS LYNCHED.

One OF the ASSISTANTS OF Mira. Ash Meets
His Doom.
A wierd scene greeted the citizens
OF Ty Ty, Ga, when they awoke
Thursday morning. A tall, slender,
black negro about 25 years old, who
was charged with raping Mrs. Ash,
was dangling from telegraph pole
within three hundred yards Of the
Brunswick and Western depot.
Ed Henderson was arrested at Triton
Wednesday and carried to Ty ~, and
when in the presence OF his victim he
was Immediately identified by her and
her little brother, who Is about nine
years old. When Ed Henderson was
arrested he was wearing different
clothing from those worn when he was
in Ty Ty the day Of the crime, but the
clothes he had discarded were secured
by parties in Triton and carried to
Ty Ty, and they were recognized by
the victim beyond shadow Of doubt
Henderson claimed his innocence to
the last, but from his story related,
which was very conflicting, his guilt
was fully established in the minds OF
all present.
The crowd was as orderly Is II at a
legal execution. No insult or indig.
nifty was offered the prisoner. Not a
shot was fred, even while his body
was swinging. Not an oath uttered or
a shout raised. No lantern or torch
was lighted, and only the silent stars
looked down on the scene of retribu-
ton.
After the execution all quietly dis.
persed, but q determined search is be-
ing made for the other criminal, who
is the real ravisher, Henderson only
being his accomplice.
In reporting this crime the victims
name was given as Mrs. Ash johnson,
and the boy her son, but We find the
lady was Miss johnson, and married
a Mr.. Ash. and that her name is Mrs.
Jennie Ash, and the little boy who
was in the cotton field with her is her
brother.

Interesting case came up for trial this
week in the City Court of Waycross. John
Jones, a negro boy. about 16 years old
brought suit against the Savannah. Flor

frequently stole rides up and down the

concealed on top of a sleeping car com
ing TO this city from Jacksonville. When
near here he came down 10 the car stems
and his contention was that the uorter
