Astounding Information Comes From
Newberry-Three Suspects in Jail
Now.

Columbia, Dec 11.-An astounding;
condition Of affairs is revealed in q
telephone message from Newberry.
Three negroes, charged with having
burned the barns and stables Of Mr.
P. n. Boozer near Kinard's last Fri
day night, indicate that there is an
organization Of negroes there who or
dered this work to be done.
Louis Burton, colored, has confessed
and it is upon his statement that
the arrest Of Ernest Burton and OF
Levi Ebaugh was made. There was
a great deal of excitement at. the
time and the phone message stated
that the sheriff, Mr.. M. NJ. Buford,
deserves great credit for his quick
action, and that the people Of the vi
cinity deserve coz gratulations upon
their forbearance, considering the
fact that they were very much work
ed up.
The fire destroyed II head Of stock
and Is bales Of cotton in addition to
the building. The monetary loss
therefore is considerable, but the fea-
ture Of the case is the motive alleged
by the negroes.
Immediately after the burning
Sheriff Buford received a phone mes
sage calling him to the scene Of the
trouble, Is miles from NewberrY.
When he arrived, Sheriff Buford
found Louis Burton in the custody OF
a large body Of men who were very
much enraged. Some Of these were
strongly of the opinion that the ne
gro should be dealt with in a sum-
mary manner.
However, the more prudent men
prevailed upon the others to desist
and the negro was delivered to the
sheriff. Some of the cooler men were
deputized by the sheriff to take
CndrSe OIL the pT1SOueI Willie tIlc o1A.-
Ger went in search Of Ernest Burton
and the negro was caught. Sheriff
Buford got this prisoner in advance
of a searching party. The two Bur-
tons were then lodged in Jail by Sher-
iff Buford. Levi Ebaugh, who was
charged with completely, was arrest
ed yesterday and is now in Jail.
Louis Burton is said to have made
a confession in which he implicated
the two now in arrest and several
others. 1t is alleged that Burton in
his confession stated that he had no
cause for malice against Mr.. Boozer,
but the crime was committed because
he and several others had been ap-
pointed to do this work. He alleges
that the burning was planned at
meeting Of the organization held last
Wednesday night He asserted that
he had no grievance, but that it had
fallen to his lot to destroy the prop
erty.
