Cen'reville, for the murder Of Mrs.
Rufus Hubbard. Will Hui did not do
the shooting, but his brother Alex.
bill did it. Why the shooting took
place, Alex. Hill borrowed five dollars
from Rufus Hubbard and promised to
work it out but did not do it at the
time that he had promised, on account
OF his own crop.
When Alex did show up, Rufus Hub
bard went to Alex. Hill's home and
asked of him why he didn't come down
to do that work for him. "Well," said
Alex, Mr.. Hubbard, coald not get
down there TO do that work for you,
and wall pay your five dollars ba.k
L can't leave my crop now and / will
pay you the money" mo" said Hub
bard, You shall do the work for me
as you promised" and Mr.. Hubbard
tied the colcred man, whipped him and
TOOK him to his home and put him to
work.
Alex worked all day and then went
back home. He returned Monday to
pay Hubbard his Ave dollars, but he
wouldn't accept it. Alex. knew that
Hubbard was q dangerous man. Hub
bard advanced toward him with a
sweep, but Alex had his ehot gun and
opened tire on him. Hubbard's wife
tried TO get him to 60 back but he
wouldn't heed, and as she wac trying
TO stop Hubbard, Alex shot him in his
arn and broke it. He shot the child
through the hand and killed Mrs. Hub
bard.
Alex and Will were together at the
time the shooting took place. Then
Alex left; bat viii did not 90 any
where because he knew that he had
done nothing. Will did not know any
thing OF Alexis intentions when he
asked him TO come and 60 with him
over to Mr.. Hubbard's. He did not
Know anything about it until the shoot
ing began, and the two boys were cap
tured later on, Will being the first one.
DE was taken from his brothers. house
June 9Th and carried back to Hub
bard's home, where he WAS identified.
Hubbard was in bed sick when the
crowd of 80 or 80 men arrived with

that he might assist in the lynching of
Will. SO they conveyed him 200 yards
from Hubbard's house, tied him to a
tree and asked him if he had religion.
Will said no. They then riddled his
body with bullets.
The lswless mob didn't have much
time to lose. because the main one,
Alex was still at large. They searched
Tor him diligently, but he made his es-
cape to Walker county where he was
captured and put in Jail.
His trial came of Saturday, July 1st,
1893, and the jury wss out but short
while before they brought in q verdict
Of murder in the 1st degree and Alex
was sentenced to hang on the first Fri

Alex will protest. to the last that his
brother, Will, whom the lynchers
mobbed knew nothing of his intentions
