NlI Be DOUBLE LYNga|NG
A Mob at West Bainbridge, Georgia,
Has It's Victims in Hand.
ONE OF THEM is CHARLES MACK,
AN ADMITTED COMPANION IN
CRIME OF LOUIS SAMMIN, WHO
WAS LYNCHED ON SUNDAY
BOTH HAVE CONFESSED TO
OUTRAGES AND ROBBERIES.

BAINBRIDGE, Ga, July 24.-Tnere
will be a double lynching in West BAN
bridge early tomorrow morning unless
something unforeseen occurs. Two
members of the band of negroes I'M
nlieated in Sammin's confession, are in
the hands of a determined posse OF
whites. One of the captives is Charles
Mack, the companion in crime of Louis
Samnin, who was lynched yesterday.
It was Sammin and Mack who outraged
Mrs. Ogletree in the presence OF her
husband at Stafford, n hold a pistol at
the head of the husband to prevent MS
interference.
Mack was captured at Iron City by
a white man named Cardell. He tried
to get his prisoner through to jail and
gecreted him. A mob of several nun
dred country people met Cardell and
asked the whereabouts of his prisoner.
He declined to tell them. A rope was
quickly put about his neck and he Was

I'D the rapist or his life. He then told
where the negro was. In a short while
The crowd had Mack. While arrange
ments for the lynching were IN pro-
gress a telegram came from Iron City
that another member OF the gang had
beeen captured. AS it would require
several hours to get the new prisoner
to the scene, it was determined to post
pone the execution of Mack until to-
morrow, at which time it is proposed
to have a double hanging.
Before Sammin was lynched he con-
fessed and said he and Mack had rob-
bed the Ogletrees and that both had
outraged the woman While they were
committing their crime, he said, six
others whose names he gave, were on
watch outside. Mack is said to have
confessed, corroborating Sammin's
statement. The men, he said, were
banded together for murder, robbery
and rape. Five of the negroes named,
including Sammin, are nov dead and
every indication favors the death OF
two more tomorrow.
The information is that the sprisoner
from Iron City will arrive at about
$50 a. M, and the lynching will pro-
badly occur shortly thereafter.

groes, was located this afternoon in a

say they will take kid Jim," dead or
