I'm answer to the questions In your
letter on August %, IN reference to the
lynching of Ed Avery at Cordova, Ala.
on August 20, 1904, I beg to submit the
following report:
From the very best Information that
can get from the best citizens of Cor
dova from the time the negro Avery shot
/, Marshal Nelson until the negro was kill
ed IL could not possible have covered
longer period of time than ten or twelve
minutes ] make this statement in order
that you might know that there were
no plans laid by the people of Cordova
to violate the law, but the affair came up
very quickly and was all over before the
people had time to think.
There have been no warrants sworn
out and placed in my hands charging any,
body with lynching Ed Avery at Cor
dova, Ala, on August 20, 1904 If the
warrants had been placed in my hands
they would have been executed at once.
In answer to question No. 2, | beg to
say that L have endeavored to ascertain
the names of the parties connected with
the lynching, but as yet 1 have been I'M
able to find evidence sufficient against
any one to justify an arrest. Myself and
chief deputy and others spent Sunday in
Cordova, Immediately after the lynching,
and were present at the coronor's inquest
and we all did our best to locate the guilty
parties, but failed to get any information
as to who were concerned in the lynching.
We examined twelve or fifteen of the best
people of Cordova who it seems to me
were in a position TO have known as much
about the lynching as anybody and you
will see from their evidence before the
coronors jury that they saw the mixup
at or near the city jail, but could not or
did not see anyone they could identify
that offered any violence to Ed Avery.
II spent the greater part of last Wednes-
day at Cordova trying to locate the guilty
parties and l assure you that | shall not
spare time nor money in hunting down the
guilty parties, and | trust before long
that l may be able to make a report TO
you that l have at least a part If not all
the parties who participated in this lynch
ing.
| 'In answer to question g. ! enclose you
| copies of letters from my deputies who
made the arrest, which explain them
selves. They are both still in my employ.
again assuring you that l will do all
within my power to bring the guilty par
ties to Justice, I remain"
Deputies W. II. Nations and r. w. Wal
ker have sent along letters corroborating
the testimony of Sheriff Moore
Accompanying the letter is the written
testimony of the following citizens before
the coroners jury: D. M. Davis, 7. p.
Rush, j. r. Phillips, j. W. Key. J. II.
! Glazier, j. r. Davidson, j. M Miller,
! M. D., w. II. Nation, f. W. Walker, w
| y. Utley, j. w. Hood j. A. Jones. These
tended to show that no more could be
learned than was contained in the letter
of the sheriff.
