Negroes Kill q White Man.

cambridge, Ga, July 95.-There will
be double lynching in West Balm.
bridge to-day unless something unfore.
seen occurs. Two more members OF
the band of negroes implicated in Sam
minis confession are in the hands of a
determined posse Of whites. One OF
the captives is Charles Mack, the COM
panion in crime of Louis Sammin, who
was lynched Sunday. 1t was Sammin
and Mack who outraged Mrs. Ogletree
in the presence of her husband at SAT-
fold, one holding pistol at the head
of the husband to prevent his inter.
ference.
Mack was captured at Iron City by
white man named Cardell. He tried to
get his prisoner through to Jail and
secreted him. A mob of several hun
bred 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
allowed ten minutes in which to give
up the assaulter or his life. lie then
told where the negro was. In short
while the crowd had Mack. While ar
rangements for the lynching were in
progress, telegram came from Iron
City that another member of the gang
had been captured. As 1t would re-
quire several hours to get the new
prisoner to the scene, it was deter
mined to postpone the execution
of Mack until to-day, at which time
1t is proposed to have double
hanging. Before Sammin was lynched
he confessed and said he and Mack had
robbed the 0gletrees and that both had
outraged the woman. While they were
committing their crimes, 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 rapne. Five of the negroes named,
including Sammin, are now dead and
every indication favors the death of
two more to-day.
A special from Leesburg, Ca, said a
negro, supposed to be one of the Saffold
assaulters, was killed by citizens last
night while resisting arrest.
