NEGRO Houses Burned-- Tremendous
Excitement in Atlanta.
Atlanta, May 17-Four white men
aud three negroes dead. five white
men and one negro wounded and an
entire block of buildings burned is
the result of a conflict which began
here early today between the blacks
and police. Will Richardson, who is
believed to have been half Indian
and half negro, the owner of store
on Mcdaniel street, in the suburbs
of Pittsburg, brought on the trouble
by resisting arrest and defying the
authorities of Fulton county and At
lanta.
The fight between the officers and
negroes occurred in Pittsburg, a ne.
gro settlement directly south OF the
city limits on Mcdaniel street. The
officers attempted to arrest five Ne
groes suspected of having beaten
former policeman S. A. Kerlin nearly
to death yesterday afternoon. The
negroes resisted arrest by entrench-
ing themselves in house and the
fight ensued. The vicinity is thickly
settled with small negro cabins.
There are outbuildings and barns
snd shrubbery over the entire neigh
borhood which provides such shelter
that it was possible to escape from
house and dodge between fences
without being detected. As soon
as information of the fight be-
tween the negroes and the police
reached the city, wagon loads of po
hcemen heavily armed were hurried
to the scene of action and Governor
Chandler ordered out a detachment
of the State militia.
The shooting was followed by q
speech from Sheriff Nelms of Fulton
county, advising calmpess on the
part of the crowd, and the efforts o1
officers thereafter were directed to-
ward controlling the temper of the
white men who were walking the
streets of the suburb with drawn
weapons.
BEGINNING OF THE TROUBLE.
While returning to his home or
the Mcpherson road yesterday after.
noon former policeman S. A. Kerlir
was waylaid by five negroes with
whom he had had trouble while 8
member of the force. But for the
timely arrival OF q trolley car which
frightened his assailents away, Ker
lin would have been killed. A ser
geant stationed at Fort Mcpherson
who heard cries for help, ran to the
place and found Kerlin unconscious
At midnight County Policeman
Golden heard that Kerlin's five as
sai,ants were located in a i.ouse or
Mcdaniel street and he hastened tc
the city and secured a warrant fol
their arrest from Justice Orr.
The house was dark, but as The
officers approached the inmates open
ed fire and Owen Heard fell to ths
ground. He was borne out of range
by his companions. The house was
at once surrounded by the police anc
daylight was awaited before making
another advance. The officers, how

belonged to Annie Milburn, also col
ored. Richardson owned the store
adjoining the house. Here he kept
ammunition and guns and was there
fore we'll prepared for fight.
OFFICER BATTLE KILLED.
At 6 o'clock this morning the
group of officers who had been
watching the house all night ap-
preached the place and called upon
those within to surrender. The an
swer was voiley of shots and Coun.
ty Officer Battle dropped dead. The
attacked party retreated some dis
tance and from behind trees and tel
egraph and trolley poles commenced
firing into the store. In few min
utes the door of the house was thrown
open and Will King, negro, ran
out and gave himself up to the off,
GERS. Inside the house Richardson
had an unobstructive view in three
directions. One block away Police
man Tom Grant stepped from his
shelter to fire into the house. A shot
from the besieged house killed him
before he could fire.
The attacking party sent word to
police headquarters and Chief OF Po-
lice Ball dispatched the reserves to
the scene in several patrol wagons.
SHOT STRAIGHT DESPITE THE FIRE.
The officers to whom King had
given himself up determined to
make use of the negro and at point
of a rife they forced him to walk up
to the rear of the house and fire it.
As soon as the flames started the
officers, eager TO get the inmates of
the house, stepped ont of their shell
ter in every direction. Again there
was shot from the house and this
time Officer Crabtree met death.
An instant later there was another
shot and County Policeman Ozburn
fell dead.
The shooting had by this time at
tracted hundreds of people and nearly
every man who came to the scene car
ried rife. The shooting into the
house became general, citizens and
officers fripg together.
MILITIA ORDERED OUT.
Governor Chandler was advised by
telephone of the riotipg and ordered
out the militia. Captain W. ". Bar
ker of the Fifth regiment was order
ed to proceed with SO men and &
platoon gun to the scene of the shoot
ing and cooperate with the city au-
thorities and the Sheriff of Fulton
county. Chief Of Police Ball hur-
ried to the scene on horseback and
was joined few minutes later by
Sheriff Nelms.
The deperado, Richardson, had
been lost sight of. The house burned
rapidly and a number of inmates
were seen to run to the store, to a
woodsbed and to a barn in the next
lot. Orders we're quickly given to
fire these buildings and in few min
utes several Of the buildings were
burning.
W. T. Jackson, street car con-
ductor in uniform, was one Of those
attracted to the scene by the shoot
ing. As he was nearing the house
he was shot in the right hip pre-
sumably by Richardson.
A negro cabman driving specta-
tor 10 the vicinity of the rioting, was
struck in the hand by bullet.
Call Officer Spradlin, speeding to
the scene on his bicycle, received a
wound in the arm.
SHOT LIKE RABBITS.
A main sewer which runs through
this part of the city was utilized by
The Lexington dispatch. [volume] (Lexington, South Carolina) 1870-1917, 1902-05-21

w
crowd had increased until at least
5000 people, 1900 of whom were
armed, surrounded the burning area.
Milton Rosby, negro was seen to
emerge from the mouth OF the sewer.
A shout went up and the fleeing ne
gro was shot dead. His body waa
surrounded and was literally shot to
pieces,
The crowd of enraged citizens had
scarcely finished this work when an
other negro was seen coming out OF
the sewer. He, too, made a run for
life and managed to get into the back
yard of one of the neighboring
homes, where he was shot to death.
DIFFICULT TO SAVE PRISONERS.
The fire which had been started by
the attacking party spread rapidly
and soon the entire block of build
ings, almost wholly composed of ne
gro houses, was destroyed. The po-
lice were busy arresting the few ne
groes found in the vicinity. Two Of
them, supposed to be members OF
Richardson's gang: were arrested.
The police had great difficulty in
getting out of the crowd of enraged
people with the colored men. Amob
of 1000 surged around the patrol
wagon and clamored for the lives Of
the prisoners. The officers throwing
their men into the bottom of the
wagon, drew their revolvers and
forced passage through the crowd,
finally lodging their prisoners in
safety in the Fulton county Jail oh
Butler street.
THE DESPERATE BURNED.
In less than hour the block of
wooden houses was burned to the
ground and search of the ruins i'm
mediately followed. In a woodshed
in rear of Richardson's store was
found skull and near to it the steel
barrel of rifle. It is believed that
the skull represents all that is left Of
the negro who did the shooting.
The police believe they have ar
rested all the negroes directly con-
cerned in the shooting, bat have Civ
en- orders by the chief to bring into
custody of all suspicious characters
found in the neighborhood.
The rioting caused the utmost ex-
citement not only in the little suburb
of Pittsburg where it occurred but
all over the city.
This is the first affair of the kind
that has ever occurred in Atlanta. It
was not in any sense race riot, but
was the result of negro defying the
law. The negroes who set upon For
mer Policeman Kerlin last night as
we'll as those concerned in today's
shooting were members of that de-
plorable majority Of the race known
alike to black and white as 'no
account negro and who evidently
cherished grudge against Kerlin for
something he had done while on the
police force.
THE CITY REMARKABLY QUIET.
Notwithstanding that the entire
city was much wrought up over the
killing of the officers, order was re-
stored with wonderful promptness
and the passions of an enraged peo-
pie were remarkably restrained.
Fifty enlisted men Of the State
militia will do patrol duty tonight in
the disturbed neighborhood and the
police doing duty in that part of the
city have been reinforced. There
was some talk Of closing all saloons
at 6 o'clock tonight but Mayor Minis
said that after consultation with the
chief of police it was not thought
necessary. If any such precaution
is deemed necessary before the regu-
