BURNING INDEFENSIBLE
Less Excuse for Georgia Crime Thaz
for the Usual Lynching

Less Excuse for Georgia Crime Thsz
for the Usual Lynching
From the New York Sun-The re
cent burning at the stake of the Rev.
John Havard seems to be more indie
fensible than the usual lynching il
the light of the facts which have de-
veloped.
Havard, who was a leader of his
race and owned property in Pulaski
County, was going home from Haw-
kinsville driving pair of young
mules.
William D. Booth, a merchant oi
Hawkinsville, was speeding in his
automobile and met Havard. The
Negroes mules were frightened by
the automobile, but Booth did uoa
check his machine.
Havard resented this and a quarrel
followed. Both men drew pistols and
began firing and both were shot
Booth hurried here in his automobile
and told his friends, who chased the
Negro and found him at home badly
wounded.
Booths friends took the Negro to
the scene of the shooting, bound him
to stake, piled wood about him and
fired the pile.
The Negro begged for his life, told
of his mules being scared by Booths
automobile and said that when he
protested Booth cursed him and be-
gan firing. The Negro vowed that
he did not shoot at Booth until the
latter had wounded him twice.
There is much indignation about
the burning, but it is not likely thas
the criminals will be prosecuted,
though they are known. Booth Is
still living, and though badly wound
