Marietta.
A special sent from Marietta Sunda

A special sent from Marietta Sunday
morning says:
Shortly after l o'clock this morning
a mob of 125 men went to the Jail here
and demanded the keys of the jailer.
Being refused they battered down the
doors, and going to the cell where
John Bailey, negro, was confined
fired about 500 shots at him. Bailey
dropped TO the floor at first fire and
only three or four balls struck him.
The negro is conscious at 2 a. M, but
his wounds will prove fatal.
On Thursday afternoon, about mile
and half from here, Bailey met Miss
Amanda Snellgroye, young white
woman, and in an attempt to outrage
her beat her severely on the head,
making several painful wounds. She
screamed for help and the negro fed.
