JOHNSON AWAITS DEATH.
THE NEGRO CONVICTED OF AS
SAULT IN HARTSVILLE.

SAULT IN HAKTSSlLLE.
Dramatic Incident of the Trial When
the Negro Was Spirited off to Sum-
ter While the Jury Deliberated.
Robert Johnson, colored. was
brought here yesterday by Sheriff J.
C. Blackwell, of Darlington, and
lodged in the penitentiary for safe
keeping to await death by hanging
for committing an assault in HartS-
vile on the night of December 21,
1908. Johnson was tried and con-
victed, of the crime February q, the
trial consuming but one day OF court.
johnson had been positively identi-
fed by his victim.
A feature OF the trial was the
spiriting away Of Johnson to Sumter
for safe keeping on the afternoon
that the jury was considering the
case. Johnson was carried over to
Sumter by the officers and several
private citizens in order that he
might be safe from any violence that
a favorable verdict might have
caused the crowd assembled at the
court house in Darlington to st
tempt.
while, even when the negro was
captured, no violence was attempt
ed, it was thought best to keep the
negro away for the announcement OF
the verdict of the jury. Had there
been acquittal or Recommendation to
mercy it was feared that johnson
might not have been quite safe, in
censed as the community was over
the horrible crime that had been
committed.
So the afternoon train to Sumter
was used to convey Johnson to the
Sumter Jail. Late in the afternoon
at $50, when the jury came out
of the room in Darlington court
house-the wires flashed the fate Of
the negro to Sumter. The guard
knew then that no further danger
was to be feared. Johnson was
taken back to Darlington, received
the sentence of the court and was
yesterday brought here to await the
time for his hanging.
This whole case is one where pub
lie sentiment and due caution by OF
ficers of the law prevented what un-
der many similar circumstances
might have caused all law to be for
got.
The crime was committed on De-
cember % and the reports from
Hartsville said s'the outrage was
committed upon a white woman by
a negro at this time unknown.
johnson was subsequently captured.
The young woman was alone at home
at the time the negro entered and
oyerpowered her. The night OF the
crime news from Hartsville was to
the effect that "the crowd has the
guilty man spotted and he will be
arrested before daylight. No mob
violence is feared, although the men
are deeply incensed."
The capture was not effected so
quickly, however. With the descrip-
ton, though, that the negro was I'VE
feet ten inches high, of medium
size, beard on face and wore
SLOUGH hat, the men had clue as to
the mans identity.
Soon after johnson was caught
and lodged in jail.
The trial was held February II
and at 6:45 o'clock the jury return
ed a verdict Of guilty. At 4:30
O'Clock while the jury was out John
son was taken to Sumter for safe
keeping, it being feared that violence
might result if the trial were favor
able to the negro.-Columbia State.
