MOB CHEATED BY DEATH.
Georgia Negro Murderer Dies From
His Wounds

A dispatch from Fitzgerald, Ga, last
night says: A. l.. Scott, the negro slayer
of J. A. Bishop. died in the city Jail here
ably averted serious mob trouble, as ex-
element was at fever heat from the time
last nights special train arrived from Re-
becca with the prisoner, who was captured
by citizens of that place.
Yesterday evening. when the first re-
port of SCOTS capture reached here,
Chief of Police Herman Smith, accompa-
MED by six armed citizens, left at once
for Rebecca, which is a small village,
fearing general uprising among the ne
groes. Smith and his party were followed
by special train carrying a heavily arm
ed force from here and gathering up a
number en- route.
The special train returned at $50
o'clock this morning carrying the negro,
who had resisted arrest until fatally wound
ed. He was taken to the city Jail and early
this morning the mob gathered. and there
was imminent danger of lynching. The
prisoner was removed to the second story
of the city hall, substantial brick struc-
ture and placed under heavy guard.
Company M, 4th Regiment Georgia state
troops, under command of Lieut.. Charles
A. Day, was called to arms and held In
readiness for immediate action.
The mob refused to dispense for more
than an hour after the death of the ne
gro. declaring the report to be a. ruse to
deceive the excited populace till he could
be removed to Abbeville.
Scott died thirty minutes before the ar
rival of the sheriff of Wilcox county. and
the remains still lie at the city hall The
coroner of Wilcox county was sent for. but
has not come. and it Is hardly likely an in
quest will be held.

night saws: Sebastine Mcbride. a negro
living near Portal in the upper part of
Bulloch county, was taken out of his house
Saturday night by mob of five men, car
ried out in the woods and whipped severely
and then shot, from the effects Of which
he died soon afterward.
Before death came, however, he related
to number of white and colored people
the manner in which he was handled, and
told the names of three of his assailants.
They were. according to his statement,
Perry Barnes, Henry Barnes and Wesley
Waters, all white men. The names of the
others he did not seem to know.
Mcbride said the men came to his house
and hailed him at the door. When it was
opened the men came in with guns and
held his wife at bay while they carried
him away. After they had been gone some
time his wife heard several guns fired.
Some time in the night Mcbride returned
to his house, badly beaten and shot in the
back in several places
Several of the white neighbors were no.
titled, and went to see the negro and took
his testimony. After his death Coroner D..
Q. Stanford was notified and held an in
quest.
The killing was done quite a distance
from this place, and it was impossible to
learn all the details of the crime today.
The verdict of the coroner's jury was OBJ
tanned. however, and the sheriff has gone
to arrest the persons named in the YER
dict of the jury. given below:
August 2S, 1904.

investigated"

SAYS THAT HAY
"SNEAKEO OUT"
OF THE NEGOTIATIONS THAT
WERE ON FOR THE NICARAGUAN
CANAL ROUTE.

Senator Morgan of Alabama Adj
dresses an Open Letter to the Sec
rotary of State-Accuses Him or
Drawing an Imperfect Treaty
With Panama-No Apology Due
From Any Senator Who Voted
Against the Ratification.
Washington. Oct. Ex-senator Nor
gan of Alabama, in an open letter to
Secretary Hay made public tonight,
accuses that official of drawing an i'm
perfect treaty with Panama and Of
having "sneaked out" of negotiations
for the Nicaraguan route.
The letter is intended as a reply to
he secretary's recent speech in New
York. After stating that no apology
is due from any senator who voted
against the ratification of the Hay
Bunau-Varilla treaty, for addressing
the secretary through the press be-
cause of the fact that the secretary
in his speech had assailed such sena-
tors, Senator Morgan says:
''It is not the sneaking out from
Panama that disturbs the country; it
is sneaking into Panama, after having
first sneaked under the wing Of the
Panama Canal Company to find an
excuse for an act that the country de-
plores."
He charges that Minister Silvia of
Colombia refused to sign the Hay
Herran treaty because 1t was in vio-
lation OF the laws and constitution of
Colombia and that DR.. Herran was
designated as charge d'affaires to con-
clude it.
Then" the Senator adds, "the soft
step and big stick of the President
was resorted to, and DR.. Herran was
threatened into compliance"
The letter of Secretary Hay to DR..
Herran, referred to in the speech Of
Senator Culberson, Senator Morgan de-
clares, was 1.-THE feather that broke
the camefs back" The President. he
says, has commissioned an ambassador
TO treat with Panama I'm order to
cure radical defects in that hasty ne
collation." and the Senator protests
that Secretary Hay should have COM
pleted that work TO meet the demands
OF both countries before he INDUCED
IN unbecoming criticisms, censures
and epithets against Democratic SEN
ators" The letter concludes as fol-
lows:
Before you charged the Democratic
senators with the crime OF not believ-
ing a word they say in their criticism
OF your conduct, and that of the Pres
ident. and with the meanness OF being
willing TO 'partake OF the feast while
decrying the alleged robbers who pre-
pared IT, would Il not have been more
IN Keeping with your exalted attitude
toward them, that you should have ex-
planned your hasty dealings with Bu-
nnu-Variila, that you should have
oleansed your robes from the contact
with the culprita Of the Panama Cana
Company ana should have delivered
the country from that body OF death
that France has 20 long struggled %

Alleged That They Were Sold to an
Italian PadrOne.
New York, Oct. 29.-Alleging that an
Italian, Vincento Stioffi, of Williams
Bridge, had kidnapped two boys and
taken them to Dover, N. c., where he
had sold them to a padrone, the father
of one of the boys and the mother of
the other caused Stiofl's arrest here

Mrs. Pasquale Sannidria. They say

of Santucci, and Antonio, the son of
Mrs. Sannidria, disappeared from home
When they were searching for them
they learned that they had been seen

left no trace. Italian friends in the
South, they said, told them the boys

The police say Stiofh admitted to
them the boys went South with him,
but insisted that they went willing
ly and were not kidnapped.
The police say that Santucci tele-
graphed to the Dover chief of police
and received an answer reading: "Sev-
eral italian boys here. Send descrip-
ton of your boy"
This was done, but no answer has
been received. The police ascertained
tonight that five other Italian boys,
whose ages range from IA to 16 years,
are missing from here.

TOM WATSON ADDRESSED
GREAT CROWD AT AUGUSTA
PopuIist Candidate Replied to the Attacks of
the Chronicle

Augusta, Oct. 29.-The Populist
candidate for the presidency, Thomas
E. Watson. spoke to an immense au-
dience here tonight. A recent news
paper attack on Mr.. Watson and his
promise to reply in a public speech
had aroused more than ordinary inter
est, and the Court House, where the
meeting was held. was inadequate to
accommodate those who clamored for
admission.
Much of the address was of purely
local interest. Mr.. Watson devoting a
part of two hours to the manager and
editor of the Chronicle before he got
down TO national issues.
Some weeks ago the Chronicle, in a
display editorial. attacked Mr.. Wat
son, charging that he was endeavoring
to disturb the peace that had come
over the state. 1t said that Populism
was practically dead, and that most of
those who had wandered away from
the Democratic fold had returned His
entrance into the field now as a candi-
date for the presidency, was calculated
to stir up the old strife anew and
would do harm.
The editorial was scathing and
caused Mr.. Watson to retort through
the Herald. promising that he would
come to Augusta before the campaign
was over. when he would tell the DEM
ocrats of Augusta a few things that
would stir them UP considerably. II
was to keep this promise that he came
here tonight.
The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1904-10-30

In the breezy English that character
ing broadside into the Chronicle, and
Democracy, as it exists in Richmond
county. The Black-Watson contest
was referred to and from first to last
the leader OF the Populists did not al
low the interest to flag.
He declared that he was opposed to
President Roosevelt, and would like to
crush out his political life" but every
one must concede that Roosevelt was
a man straddling nothing but the war
horse, while Parker straddled every
thing except that steed, not daring to
take a firm stand even on the race
question.
Would that I had three months
longer" he exclaimed, ito preach my
doctrines, and the Democratic party
would take out Parker and choose me
to run against Roosevelt. 1 would
shake this continent from ocean to
ocean"
Mr.. Watson said he did not expect to
be elected. He was but doing his duty,
hoping that by promulgating his prin-
ciples the people would eventually be
brought to see Alright. He said it was
absurd to suppose that he was in the
pay of the Republican party, when he
was fighting plutocracy with might and
main.
Mr.. Watson will spend a few days
at his home in Thomson, Ga, near
! here, before speaking in Atlanta.
