Ex-NEGRO CONVICT LYNCHED
SUSPECTED OF NUMBERING
MOTHER AND INFANT.
Taken From Georgia Sheriff by an
Angry Mob and Hanged-Body
Shot Full of Bullets.

FITZGERALD, Ga, August Ell
Henry Taylor, d negro ex-convict,
charged with assaulting Mrs. Josh Wick
ers Tuesday and then numbering her
and her infant, was yesterday afternoon
taken from the sheriff Of Wilcox coun-
ty and lynched.
The crime for which the negro paid
the penalty at the hands of indignant
citizens was one of the most brutal ever
recorded in the criminal annals of Geor-
gia.
Brutal Crime Revealed.
Mrs. Vickers and her eight-month-old
baby were left at their home at Lump
kins Ferry Tuesday afternoon and that
night when the husband and father re-
turned from his work both his wife and
baby were missing. A search revealed
the fact that they were not at the
home of any neighbor. Soon their dis
appearance, with suspicion of foul play
was known throughout the neighbor-
hood, and search for them was imme-
diateiy commenced. Thursday after;
noon the bodies were found in small
pond not great ways from the Vickers
home. The woman had been assaulted
and then choked to DEATH while the
baby's skull had been crushed.
Henry Taylor had told of seeing Mrs
Vickers, with her baby. go in the di-
rection of the pond in which their bod
les were found. Suspicion was imme-
diately directed toward him upon the
finding of the bodies, but he had disap-
peared from the community.
Taylor Arrested on Suspicion.
Early yesterday Taylor was arrested
in Benhill county, near Lumpkins Ferry
He was taken in charge by the sheriff
Of Wilcox county, who Immediately
started for Fitzgerald. Finding that his
way was blocked by the presence of
large numbers of aroused people, a
circuitous route was taken. When the
citizens. however. learned of the change
of plans. and, continually augmented by
bloodthirsty men, the mob followed the
trail of the sheriff and finally came upon
him between Lumpkins Ferry and Nc
Rae, and quick work was made of the
negro. After being strung up a tree,
Taylor body was filled with bullets.
Taylor had only recently completed
serving a chain-gang sentence in this
county
