Sad Scene IN AN
ALA. COURT ROOM
While Children Plead to Remain wi.h
Their Father, the Court Gives
Them to Mother.

montgomery, Ala, Oct, 1O.-One Of
the most pathetic scenes ever enacted
In Montgomery court occurred lasf
week, when Chancellor L. d. Gardner
awarded Mabel and Lucius Barefield
II and II years old, respectively, to
the custody of their mother, Mrs. Nan
ME l.. Barefield, of Chisholm. Strong
men wept and women burst into tears
at the heart-rending sight that met
their eyes when the father, complying
with the mandate of the chancellcr.
brought the two children into the
chancery court to deliver them TO
their mother There was not a dry
eye in the court room. Everyone.
even the court officers, was visibly
affected by the pathos of the situa.

In awarding the two younger chill

the court left the elder daughter. AL

father.
The boy and the girl who were

entwined their arms about their necks.
With his face buried in hN. hand
kerchief the father held his son to
his knee, while the 11-year-old girl
and her elder sister embraced one an
other, with an emotion that the strong
est man could not endure without
breaking down. The scene was truly
affecting.

NEGROES LYNCH
One OF own RACE
Black Assaulted CoIored Woman at
Ialladeea, Ala, and Angry Blacks
Dispatched Him.

Ialladega, Ala, Oct. 10.-Probably
the hrst case of lynching by a mob
OF negroes, alone and without the aid
or counsel of white men. occurred
near McFall, Sunday, October 2, in
this county.
thursday, a strange negro, at farm
near Lincoln, fourteen miles north of
1alladega, assaulted negro woman
under circumstances of unusual atroc-
ity.
me alarm was soon given, but the
assailant escaped, going in an easterly
direction on the road leading to Nc
Fall. The Lincoln negroes, consist
ing the friends and relatives of the
woman assaulted, made some efforts
to procure warrant, but for some
reasons they did not succeed in get
ting legal papers for the approhen enaicn
of the fleeing negro
By a system of grapevine tele-
graphy' peculiar to the negroes, tab
was kept on the trail Of the assailant,
and he was thought to be located Sun
day near McFall, a station on the Geor-
gia Pacific division of the Southern
railroad. Sunday, when the East
bound train on the Southern railroad
rolled into Lincoln it was boarded by
a number of negroes who had bought
tickets to McFail, and who We're the
neighbors and relatives of the out
ragged woman. They were not noisy
or demonstrative, nor were any unusu-
al number of weapons in evidence.
Arriving at McFall they separated
into groups and began a quiet still
hunt for the man.
In a short time they located ne
gro who answered to the description
previously obtained of the man want
ed and without any waste of time
they filled his body full of bullets and
left him dead.
VIII Thweat, a merchant of Nc
Fall, called up the Tal.adaga authori-
ties Monday and notified them that
there was a dead man unburied near
that place. Coroner r. Heine pro-
cured an automobile and went there
at 9:30 o'clock Monday morning.
1t had been but short time since
the entire community around Lincoln
was stirred over an assault upon
white woman by a negro. Several
parties were arrested, and released
upon preliminary trial, and it is not
thought that tho right man has been
apprehended. This circumstance gave
rise to much talk of lynching among
the people living near Lincoln, some
of which was evidently heard by the
negroes, which doubtless gave them
the cue to take the law into their
own hands in this instance,
The name of the man killed, or the
woman assaulted, has not been learn
ed but it is generally stated on the
streets that the negro assailant was
not a person belonging to that neigh
borhood In the annals of the county,
this is the first instance of where ne
.groes have visited summary ven
geance upon one of their own race
for crime against negro woman or
for any other crime.

Louisville, Miss, Oct. 1O.-The
largest crowd since the beginning of
the trial of Swinton Permenter for
the alleged murder of Miss jamie
Sharpe was packed in the court room
Saturday, many women being pres
ent. Feeling over the outcome of
the trial is tense, and trouble is brew
ing. Even if the jury renders a ver-
dict of guilty and the defendants at
torneys appeal for a new trial, the
flame of anger will break out anew
and nothing will prevent mob VIC.
lence.
The trial will hardly be finished
this week, as it will overlap into next
week.
Permenter appeared careworn and
listless, and, seemed fatigued this
morning. His brother, who sits by his
side, at times cheers him up.
Jourdan Bowls, the first witness,
said he was present when the body of
jamie Sharpe was found. He made
observations of the ground about the
place near where Miss Janie's corpse
was discovered. He noticed several
wallowing places some twelve or fif.
teen feet around. He saw the foot
prints of woman and man.
The sister of the defendant, Miss
Nellie Permenter, a pretty school
mistress, was the next witness. In
being questioned regarding some
shirts of her father and brother, she
testified that her father on the morn
ing of the search for the girl, wore
one of Swintons shirts.
The prosecution slightly confused
her when she finally identified the
shirt. She said that she went to a pic
mic at Indian Springs on the Fourth
of July, and there her brother found
a handkerchief on the ground, and
not finding an owner, he gave it to
Switon. Miss jamie Sharpe was also
at the picic.
The handkerchief is the same found
in the possession of Swinton on the
day he was arrested.
Ebert Vowel said he remembered
the finding of Miss Sharpe's body. He
made an examination of the ground
near where the corpse was found.
He noticed places where there had
been struggle, and discovered the
tracks of a man and woman near
where the body was found. The
mans tracks seemed to be No. 8

journed for dinner Walter Permenter
