The run of twenty miles was made in
twenty-seven minutes, the train arriv-
ing al Preston at s:57, or very nearly q
mile minute.
Quiet prevailed in the little town,
and if there had ever been a thought
of lynching the fact was not apparent,
The citizens of Preston felt keenly the
outrage done their town, but were not
disposal towards doing violence.
Under the circumstances, however,
1t was deemed best to bring the pris-
oners to Americus for safe keeping
until the charges against them could
be Investigated. Accordingly they
were placed aboard the military special
and the company returned to Americus
last night.
The prisoners, Morgan and Harrell,
are now In the Americus Jail, where
they are perfectly safe.
