HOLBER1'S CRIME.

The crime for which John Holbert
paid the horrible penalty of his life
at the stake is one of the most revolt
ing chapters in the criminal history
of Mississippi. James Eastland was a
prominent planter residing in the
vicinity of Doddsville, where he had
inherited large interests from his
father. He was a young man and
popular throughout this~ entire sec-
tion. The negro had been a servant
Of the family for years, having come
from Forest with Mr. Eastland when
he moved to Sunfower county. He
was trusted servant. of the family
until few months ago. when he be-
/ came unruly and was ordered to leave
the place. It was this order that en-
ragged the negro and finally resulted in
the murder of Mr.. Eastland. A son
of the negro says the woman also
took hand in the shooting.
THE PURSUIT.
The murder of Mr.. Eastland oc-
Cured on Wednesday morning of last
week, soon after which Holbert and
his paramount fed the scene of their
crime. A posse of citizens was at
once organized, blood hounds we're
secured from the state farm in Sun
flower county, and the chase began.
Hundreds of citizens joined in pursuit
of the desperadoes. When one pack
Of hounds would tire of the hunt other
dogs were secured to take their places.
Two brothers of the dead planter led
the posse, forgetting rest and sleep
all else save the spirit of the lamented
dead which cried for vengeance.
The reward was increased from day
to day until the capture. The chase
led across two counties, through dense
swamps and canebrakes, across seepy
marshes, through rain and mud and
the bitter cold of three long and
dreary nights.
INNOCENT DEAD.
During the three days in which the
mob of armed men was engaged in
securing the country for Holbert and
the woman. who clung to him with
/ fiondish loyalty, three innocent me-
groes are known to have been killed.
Ia the vicinity of Doddsville woman
was shot by gun which was acci-
dentally discharged The other two
were killed by posse in the vicinity
of Belzonia. They were working in
field when armed men approached,
and fearing that harm might come to
them, broke to run, when they were
fred upon and killed.
