TWO NEGROES BURNED.
The Georgia Mob Captures Two From
Officers and Burn Them Alive.

Statesboro, Ga, Aug. 17.-Yester-
day afternoon Paul Reed and VIM.
Cato, two of the negroes found guilty
of numbering and burning Henry
Hodges and wife and three of their
children here about three weeks ago,
were taken by force from the officers
and guards of militia and burned at
the stake.
At 1:20 the moo charged the court
house, overpowered the military
guard, secured Cato and Reed, who
had been found guilty after legal
trial and sentenced to be hanged,
took them two miles from town and
burned them alive. The climax came
quickly and unexpectedly.
Reed was taken down one stairway
with rope about his neck and Cato
down the other, both pleading for
their lives.
BY this time the crowd numbered
500 persons. The doomed men were
dragged along the roadway leading
to the Hodges homestead. where the
five members of the family had been
murdered and burned.
Two miles out from town the mob
went seventy five yards from the road
and halted. The two negroes were
told they had but short time to live
and that they should confess.
Reed confessed, duplicating other
negroes, as he had in the court room.
He denied, however, that he had
taken an active part in the muir
der. Cato answered incoherently.
The crowd moved across a field to
strip of woodland.
A member of the mob made a
speech recounting the horrors of the
crime. This inhamed the crowd to
the burning pitch. To -alarge stump
twelve feet high the men were chained
with their backs to the stump. Then
a wagon load of pine wood was
hauled to the spot. 1t was piled
around the men and ten gallons of
kerosene was thrown over them. Just
as the match was applied to the pyre
one of those in front asked Reed If
he wanted to tell the truth before he
died.
ayes, sir; I killed Mr.. and Mrs.
Hodges" he replied.
"Who killed the children?" he was
asked.
"Han6y Bell" came the response,
as the flames leaped upward and fur
ther questioning was impossible in
| the wild tumult.
