Ears, Fingers and Other Parts
of the Body Cut Off as a
Preliminary.
PITIFULLY FOR LIFE
Surprising Fortitude Shown
When 1t Came to the Or
deal of Fire.
Before the Body CoolS 1t Is Cut
to Pieces and the Bones
Crushed.

NEWMAN, Ca, April 24.-In the pres
ence of nearly 1000 people who sent
aloft yells of defiance and shouts of JOY,
Sam Hose, negro, who committed
two of the basest acts known to crime,
was burned at the stake in a spot ~
miles from here during the afternoon.
Before the torch was touched to the
pyre the negro was deprived of his
ears, fingers and other portions of his
anatomy. The negro pleaded pitifully
for his life while the mutilation was
going on, but stood the ordeal of fire
with surprising fortitude. Before the
body was cool it was cut to pieces, the
bones were crushed into small bits and
even the tree upon which the wretch
met his fate was torn up and disposed
of as souvenirs. The mob was COM
posed of citizens of Newman, Griffin,
Palmetto and other little towns in the
country round about Newman and of
all the farmers who had received word
that the burning was to take place.
Hon. w. Y. Atkinson, former gov
ernor of Georgia, met the mob and he
appealed to them to
Let the Law Take It's Course.
A member of the mob was seen to draw
revolver and level it at Governor At
kinson, but his arm was seized and the
pistol taken from him. The mob was
frantic at delays and would hear to
nothing but burning at the stake.
Before being put to death the negro
stated that he had been paid $12 by
Lige Strickland, a negro preacher at
Palmetto, to kill Crawford.
Sam Hose killed Alfred Crawford, a
white farmer, near Palmetto and out
ragged his wife 10 days ago. Since That
time business in that part of the state
has been suspended, the entire popula-
ton turning oat in an effort to capture
Hose.
Governor Gambler has been asked to
send troops here to preserve order for
day or two, as it is feared the negroes
will wreak vengeance, many threats to
that effect having been made.
A mob of citizens have captured
Strickland near Palmetto and he is be-
| ing tried by lynch court.
