LYNCH LAW IN GEORGIA
ANOTHER NEGRO SHOT TO DEATH
AND BURNED AT STAKE.
Victim Confessed to Assaulting Young
White Girl-Exhibition Witnessed
by 1000 Excited People.

A dispatch from Cedartown, Ca, last
night says: Jim Glover a negro. was shot
to death tonight near the home of a white
girl he had assaulted, and his body was
then dragged distance of about a mile
into this city and burned at the stake on
the public square.
A mob, estimated at 500, composed the
shooting and burning party
The crime for which the negro was thus
punished was that OF committing criminal
assault upon little Levia Reeves, the thir-
teen-year-old daughter Of well-known
farmer.
The true story of the crime is the most
revolving that had ever been given to the
public from this immediate section of the
country.
Protected Assailant From Dog.
After the little girl had protected the
negro from the attack Of large dog
owned by her father, he followed her to
the pasture, where she was taking a cow.
caught her. choked her to insensibility.
ravished her and left her bleeding and
unconscious in cornfield This occurred
early this morning.
Bloodhounds had been on the negros
track all day, and he was captured some
taken to the home of the girl. who unhcsi-
tatingly identified him as her assailant.
In the meantime crowd of fully 500 per-
sons had gathered, and summary justice
was meted out to the negro as soon as II
was learned that the girl had positively
identified him as the right man. The
negro confessed his guilt Immediately the
crowd took him away from the posse
which had captured him and his body was
riddled with bullets.
Witnessed by 1000 People.
The crowd continued to gather, and when
the march back to town with the dead
body in tow began it appeared as If fully
1000 persons had Joined in the procession.
BY the time the crowd reached Cedar
town several hundred more had been added
to the crowd About 1000 persons wilt
messed the burning as best they could in
the bright moonlight on the most con-
spicuous place on Main street.
The town is in a fever of excitement to-
night but it is thought no further trouble
will follow.
