Clicked AND CREMA1ED
Terrible Penalty Paid by TWO Georgia
Nea-oes for the Murder of an
aged White Couple

HawkinsViie, Ga, March 1.-TWO
negroes were hanged and then burned
near here last night. The negroes
were arrested Wednesday following
the killing of Warren Hart, and the
fatal wOunding of his wife. They were
placed in the county Jail and a lynch
ing party. consisting of a number of
men who concealed their identity with
masks, went to the Jail and demand
ed the prisoners. who they took to a
place near the scene of the crime and,
after hanging them to a tree. burned
the bodies. The crowd then quickly
dispersed.
The crime with which the negroes
were accused was committed at day
light Wednesday when they attacked
Hart as he left the house to feed the
stock. his head being crushed with an
axe. The murderers then went to the
kitchen. where they attacked Harris
wife. She died last night. The pur-
pose of the crime is said to be rob-
berry as the aged couple were known
to have had about $1,000 in the house.

TRAGEDY IN TAMPA
A Woman and Two Children Burned
to Their Death in Their Home
(Tampa Times, 5th.)

Three persons We're burned to death
in a fire which burned a cottage at
l05 LaSa,le street, West Tampa, early
this morning. They were Anna Ar
mold. ii colOred woman, and her two
small children. Florida, aged three
years, and a baby about eighteen
months old.
Every indication points to the fire
having been of incendiary origin.
Louis Walton and his former wife,
Carrie Walton, have been arrested.
They were joint owners of the cottage.
and the Arnold woman was a sister Of
Walton. Walton's ex-wife lived with
the Arnold woman.
There are some who believe that the
woman set fire to the house. partly to
secure the insurance and partly to re-
venge herself on her former husband.
and there are others who believe that
Walton set the house on fire.
1t was o'clock this morning when
the alarm of fire was turned in, the
Arnold woman and her two children
being asleep in small room and her
niece. Carrie Lewis, was asleep in an
adjoining room. The house was set
on fire at the rear and the smoak must
have aroused the woman and her ba-
bies, and they crossed the hall and
got into the parlor, where the re-
mains were found after the fire had
cooled down. The wOman's head was
burned off and the body burned to a
crisp. The arms and legs of the old
est child were burned Off The baby
alone was recognizable. the mother
