Kennedy negroes took in a share
cropper to assist them in working
the crop and were to furnish him

later refused to do, and so Mr..

After the crop was laid by the
share negro was run out of the

johnson informed the Kennedy
negroes that he would gather the
crop Of the share worker and take
from the proceeds the amount he
had furnished, this the negroes
objected to. telling Mr.. johnson
if he came on the place they would
kill him.
Monday morning Mr.. Johnson,
accompanied by the above named
parties, went to to the place and
began gathering corn. While /
they were carrying load to the |
barn Mr.. johnson says the me-
groes arose out of some tall cot
