NINE HAVE BEEN JAILED.
JUDE SHEFFIELD ASKED TO CON-
VENE SPECIAL TERM OF COURT.
Great Excitement in Miller County
Over the Assassination of the Rust
ms. Cause of the Crime.


Advices frQm Miller county say that
Burrel, Phillips, Henry Phillips, Doc
Phillips, George Phillips, Dews Bailey
Florence Bailey, Preston Bailey, Fuse
man Cleveland and w. NJ Gardner, all
white, have been jailed as part of the
mob that murdered the Rustin fami>
ly three miles north OF Colquitt.
The old man Rustin identified, in his
dying declaration, Burrell Phillips,
George Phillips, Dews Bailey and Flor
ence Bailey as four of the band of ku.
klux. The other five defendants have
been jailed upon circumstantiaI proba-
biliIies OF their being connected with
this bloody tragedy.
1t seems that few days prior TO the
homicide there was a note sent to
OLD man Rustin, the contents of which
was TO the effect that he could do better
in other quarters of the globe. How
ever, the old man, being one of those
characters who didn't take TO the,woods
every time cap popped, paid no att
lenuOn to this warning.
The daughter of Rus,in was also shot
by the mob. She was shot through the
hand while screaming for mercy after
the murderers had already killed her
young brother as they broke in the door,
and while her father lay gasping on the
floor in his own blood, which flowed
from i've wounds in his body.
The young woman lay in bed screams
ing and wrlnging her hands, and fearing
every moment that she, too, would be
killed, One of the murderers leVeled
his pistol at her and fired, but the bullet
missed er head and crashed through
her hand, and then into the headboard
of the bed.
While Old man Rustin struggled on
the floor and wrthed in pain from his
wounds one of the murderers shot holes
Though his feet just for the fun of it.
The community is at fever heat. The
supposed cause of the crime was that
some two weeks ago Miss Rustln swore
out warrant against George Phillips,
charging him with a serious 0ffense.
After trial before Justice l.. A, Tree
George Phillips was ordered to give a
$3.50 bond, which he refused to do and
after contempt proceedings he was
placed under bond to await the action Of
the grand jury,
This is the second assassination that
has occurred in Miller county within the
past four months, Should these parties
be convicted the hard hand OF the law
will, as it should, be administered with
but little if any compassion. The rot
tenness of the county in that line has
got to be checked IN some way.
There is one other party, whose name
has not been disclosed, that the sheriff
is on the lookout for.
Judge Sheffield has been petitioned to
hold special term of court to try these
parties.

Ellis, who is a thick>lipped, black ne.
gro, denied that he had been intimate
with the woman. Judge Norwood first
ordered the woman to stand up. Turn>
