MURDERER TRIED AND HANGED
LEGALLY WITHIN TWO HOURS
AFTER SENTENCE.

Jim Buchanan, colored, the murderer
of the Hicks family was tried here to-
day a plea of guilty was accepted 10y
the Judge and the negro was legally
hanged within two hours after sentence
had been passed.
Buchanan was brought here under
the protection of five companies of mi
litia. Upon his arrival here the negro
was Immediately turned over to Sheriff
Spradley, who told the people that he
would be given a speedy trial.
The town began to fill rapidly and the
excitement was intense. The telepragh
wires were cut, the railroad tracks were
torn up for a short distance and it was
announced that an attempt would be
made to get possession of Buchanan.
The District Court was at once con-
vened, a jury was impaneled without
delay and the negro's plea of guilty was
accepted by the court. The Judge or
dered that the death sentence be exc
cuted November 18th, but many people
announced that they would have no de-
lay.
Buchanan then waived the thirty
days allowed him by the law and was
hanged by Sheriff Spradley in the jail
and in the presence OF a large crowd.
Ten days ago the dead bodies of
Farmer Hicks, his wife and daughter
We're found in the Hicks Home, and
Sheriff Spradley began a search for the
murderer. A week later Jim Buchanan
was arrested and confessed to the muir
der.
The news of the negros confession
spread rapidly and a mob of several
hundred people marched after the
sheriff and his deputies with the inten-
ton of securing possession of the negro
and burning him at the stake. Sheriff
| Spradley and his deputies refused 70
give over the prisoner and later they

| The two officers through a ruse, final
ly succeeded in spiriting the negro away
to the parish Jail at Shreveport Blu
chanan was next taken to the jail at
Henderson and a company of militia
was ordered out to protect the negro
| from violence. A mob formed and ii
was feared a collision with the troops
would result in serious bloodshed. Two
more companies of militia were dis
| patched to Henderson and today when
/ the negro came to this place he was
guarded by five companies of militia.
