caught the brute, who made desperate
fight.
He was skinned alive from head to foot
and died in awful agony.
The girl is in serious condition
The girl was almost dead from expos
ure when found, and was scarcely able
to tell her story.
She said that burly negro had caught
tier and dragged her into the forest,
where he compelled her TO submit to his
lastful desires. After sha1nefulIy mall
treating her, the human brute tied her
securely to a tree and left her until the
next day, when he returned, bringing
food, which he forced her to eat. After
which she was released and compelled
forcibIy to submit to his lust. This was
continued for three days.
The searchers Mt once made plans for
the apprehension of the fellow. The
girI was bound to the tree again and
the men secreted themselves in laurel
thicket. They did not have q great while 5
to wait. He came and had staftGd 70

that carried them even faster than fear

soon oycrhauled. He fought rs only des-
perate men can fight, but was soon over
come. The friends of the girl at once
proceeded to torture the inhuman fiend.
