The HANGING PRIVATE
The StOckade at Sylvania is Sur
rounded by Troops.
The NEGROES DIE WITHOUT A WORD
II is Claimed That They Belonged TO Gang Of
Organized Murderers. They Die For the
Killing of Cons abes Mears
and HI Hing'or,
lBy the Associated Press. }

Sylvania, Ga, June 14.-Five bodies
dangling upon the same gallows, five
souls launched into eternity at the same
moment, marked the triumph of the ma
jesty of the law and the end of what is
believed to have been an organized gang
of murderers, here today. The victims
of the legal tragedy were Arnold Angus
tus, Andrew Davis, Richard Sanders, Will
liam Hudson and Sam Baldwin, all ne
groes. The victims of their crime were
Constable Mears and Fillmore Harrington,
whom they ambushed and shot to death,
and Captain Wade, whom they seriously
wounded in the shooting that killed the
two first mentioned, nearly a year ago.
On at least two occasions efforts we're
made to lynch the murderers, but by
prompt action of the officers of the law,
they were frustrated. On one of these
occasions the Governor found it neces-
sary to order out three companies of the
State Militia.
The execution today was strongly
guarded by the local military, because of
rumor that an effort would be made
by negroes to effect the rescue OF the
condemned. But there was no disturb
ance, nor the suggestion of any. The
hanging was in private, the stockade be-
ing surrounded by strong Gordon of
troops. Five thousand persons gathered
in the village, but only about forty were
admitted in the enclosure.
The condemned men maintained sto-
cial reserve, refusing to confess or to
talk about the crime. They were at
tended by ministers of their own race,
who besought them to ease their con-
science by making acknowledgements of
their sins. Still they refused to talk
The FIVE, shackled in chains, were march
ed upon the gallows together. When the
trap fell the uecks of four were snapped
like reeds The fifth struggled for five
minutes and died of strangulation. The
five bodies were cut down in drizzle of
rain, and The crowd slowly dispersed
satisfied that the law had taken it's
course.
