der Of his former employer, Alfred
Crawford, and an assault on Mrs. Gran

held the negro to a tree broke and fell
into the fumes. The fire was put out
and the negro chained again. He slowly
burned. Before the fire was started
both ears we're cut off and he was other
wise mutilated. At $50 p. NJ, Hose
ceased his contortions, and his head
dropped upon his shoulder. The crowd
cheered all his writings Warning
was given for none TO shoot, but to let
him die by degrees. While burning
he confessed the murder, and said a
negro named L!ge Strickland, a Bap-
list minister, at Palmetto, offered him
$50 to kill Mr.. Crawford. When this
statement became generally known, 8

Strickland. He was found at ten
o'clock on the same evening ard was
carried near Palmetto, where he was

ia said, but denied his guilt. His ears
and fingers were cut eff, and he was
then lynched. The party in pursuit of
Strickland had bunting tied around
arms and shoulders, one man being
almost dressed in the national colors.
When the mob was preparing to
lynch Hose, ex Governor Atkinson
made a speech for law and order.
When he finished the crowd yelled

there was no proof whatever of his
guilt.

"that word rebel has been wiped out.
