THREE LYNCHED FOR MURDER.
Fate of Three Negro Desperadoes In New
ton Ca, Who Murdered a Farmer
Of Baker County.

| Macon, Ca June 28.-An Albany
Ga, dispatch to the Telegraph OF
June 26 says:
Baker County was the scene of a
triple lynching about 2 O'Clock this
morning, when mob of fifty deter
mined men entered the town of New
ton, and took possession of Garfield
Mccoy, Wiley Anette and George
Mckinney, Miller County negroes,
who had been arrested and lodged in
jail for the murder last Saturday
night of f. S. Bullard, a prominent
white farmer Of the seventh district
Of Baker
Jaller Williams Screws, who resides
near the jail, was awakened about 12
O'Clock by Bailiff II. 9. Tucker, who
stated that he had a prisoner to place
in the lookup. The jailer hastily
donned his clothes and proceeded to
the Jail. AS soon as he had unlocked
the prison door he was suddenly sur
rounded by n swarm of men with
drawn revolvers, who demanded that
he unlock the cell in which the Miller
County negroes were lodged. He
did as commanded under protest and

Their appeals for mercy we're lost on

slashing them with knives as soon rs
they left the door of the Jail.
The mob lost no time in leaving
Newton with the negroes, and when
about mile west of the town the
three men we're halted, nooses tied
about their necks and, amid the
shouts of the mob, the men were
strung up. The crowd fired several
hundred shots into the swaying
bodies, after which they quietly dis

Negroes from Early, Miller and

trouble was soon started by McKin.

Bullard appeared on the scene and
commanded order. His interference
was resented by the three negroes,
who opened fire upon him with re-.
volvers. Bullard fell mortally wound
ed and died on Tuesday.
The negroes we're arrested on Mon.
day and lodged in jail at Newton.
At their commitment trial it was
proven that the shot that killed Bul
lard was fired by Mckinney, and
that Anette and Mccoy also fired at
him. The negroes we're remanded
to Jail to await trial at the next ses
sion of Baker Superior Court and
absolutely no talk Of lynching WAS
indulged in by citizens. 1t is the
consensus Of opinion that the work
OF the mob was largely due to the
fact that Billiards. family is left in Il
