his uncomfortable crime, in company
with Mr.. Hargus. | went to the scene.
We found about 10 men there but
the crowd varied at different times,
there being probably ESQ men there
when We went back to supper that
evening. 1t was the most orderly
crowd | ever saw. There was no
Boosting or big talk, but it was a
crowd of determined citizens who
knew their duty and were not afraid
to do it. There were many gray
boards there and you would hear
them call each other brother so anc
SO. and when some one would talk
and would make a point you would
hear the amens. There was no dis
position to harm any one but the
guilty one. and while : was there that
evening some other negroes passed
but not a jeer or taunting word was
said TO them. There was no excite
ment, but these brave and true men
were confronted by a fact. and all
honor to them. they did their duty
just as their fathers would have done
and just ak their sons will continue
TO do.
