MOB KILLS
NEGRO And
BURNS BODY
Awful Vengeance for
Attack ON White
Girl.

CEDARTOWN, Ga, Aug. 22.-"Jim"
Glover. negro. was shot to death to-
night near the home of the white girl
he had attacked and his body was
dragged a distance of about mile
into this city and burned on the pub
lie square. A mob estimated at 500
composed the shooting and burning
party.
The crime for which the negro was
thus punished was an attack upon
Levia Reeves, the 13-year-old daugh-
ter Of a well-known farmer. The
story of the crime was the most re-
voting that had ever been given to
the public from this immediate sec
tion. After the little girl had pro-
tected the negro from the attack of a
large dog owned by her father he fol-
lowed her to the pasture whittier she
was taking a COW, caught her. choked
her into insensibility and left her
bleeding and unconscious in the field.
This occurred early this morning.
Bloodhounds were on the negros trail
all day and he was captured some time
late this afternoon and carried to the
home of the girl. who unhesitatingly
identified him as her assailant.
In the meantime crowd of 500
persons gathered and summary JUS
tice was meted out to the negro as
soon as it was learned that the young
girl had positively identified him.
The negro confessed his guilt. I'm
mediately the crowd took him away
from the posse that had captured him
and his body was riddled with bullets
and afterward burned.

Mrs. MaybriCk AC-
CuS0d in Legal
Document.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

RICHMOND, Va, Aug. 22.-In his
answer to the suit brought against him
by Nine. Won Roques. mother Of Mrs.
Florence Maybrick, D. w. Armstrong
intimates his belief that the British
Government was tricked into giving
Mrs. Maybrick a ticket of leave.
The answer is in the hands Of Philip
B. Shield. an attorney of this city, to
be filed in the Chancery Clerks Office.
It is this action which the friends OF
Mrs. Maybrick used as means Of per-
suading the British Government to re-
lease her.
The Baroness Won Roques brought
suit several years ago, alleging that
Armstrong had persuaded her to part,
for $4,000, with lands which he subse-
quently sold for millions. Mrs. May
brick was said to have an interest in
this property, and it was to punish the
persons who had defrauded her that
the British Government allowed her to
leave prison on ticket Of leave.
In his answer, Armstrong maintains
that she had no interest in the lands.
The answer is voluminous, consisting
of fifty typewriter pages, and goes
minutely into the details of Arm
strongs transaction with Nine Won
Roques and her agents and repre-
sentatives.
The answer, upon its face, appears to
give rise to two principal questions
the first being as to whether the estate
Of Mrs. Maybrick. of which so much
has been heard in connection with the
agitation for her release, is a myth:
and, second, as TO whether, apart from
what the facts may be as to Mrs. May
bricks interest, the transactions be-
