BODIES OF Three NEGROES
ARE RIDDLED With bullets
Fair EaViG is the Scene Of Midnight Outrage in Which
Three Negroes Are Killed

Standing in line beneath a small
tree at the outskirts of the peaceful
little town of EllaviIIe, three negroes
We're shot to pieces by a masked mob
at 1890 o'clock yesterday morning.
The night riders came quietly into the
slumbering town, executed with ter
rible swiftness their gnastly work,
and as quietly rode away.
The outrage was perpetrated short
ly after midnight, and not until the
four volIeys of pistols shots rang out
did the citizens realize what had been
done
Three negro prisoners taken from
the Schley county jail We're thus sum
marily disposed of in the successful
attempt of the mob to avenge the death
of a citizen, Newton Eason, who met
a tragic death in January at the hands
of a party of negroes in EIlayiIIe.
The mob quietly dispersed, after
killing the three negroes, and the iden-
tity of the night riders is not supposed
to be known.
Brought Back For Trial.
The negro prisoners, Charles Pick
EFT, Murray Burton and Dawson Jor
dan, charged with the murder Of
young Eason, a citizen of Ellaville,
We're brought back to that town from
Columbus, where they had been in Jail
for safe-keeping since the commission
of the crime months ago. They We're
to have been tried Monday.
Schley Superior court convenes this
week in Ellaville, and the three pris-
oners would have been given a fair
and impartial trial then before Judge
z. "A. Littlejohn.
Evidently incensed at the sight of
the suspected murderers, or fearing
they might in some manner escape
Justice, the people constituting the
mob decided to take summary action
and pull off the case before the tri-
bunal of Judge Lynch instead, and
