NEGRO NARROWLY
ESCAPES LYNCHING
Foresight Used by Sheriff and Assist
ands Saved Negroes Death Last
Tuesday Night.

Laurens county barely escaped a
lynching last Tuesday night when
Sheriff Owings and his deputies per
suaded mob of infuriated men to
give up Walter Moody, n negro boy,
whom they held on charge of at
tempted assault with criminal intent
The negro boy, who is about lG wears
of age, was finally turned over to the
Shcr!n and now rests behind the bars
eriit Owings was warned that q mob
'tould storm the jail Wednesday night
and take the negro out. but nothing
came o. the threat after the sheriO

1t is stated that a young girl and
her younger sister were returning
nome last Tuesday evening from town
whom the negro jumped out of the
road and demanded that the elder one
get out of the buggy. When the ne
gro made move to pull her out the
girl screamed and the negro ran. The
g!rls drove rapidly home and told
Wh"t had happened and soon mob
Ead gathered. circumstances sur
rounding the case pointed to Walter
MooCy as the guilty party and he was
soon caught and identified About
this time word was received at the
sheriH's office of the state of affairs
The sheriff accompanied by Deputy
Reid and Rural Policeman Sullivan
hurried to the scene. They found a
large crowd around the negro house
and in the vicinity, but nothing could
be gathered as to the negro. 1t was
stoutly denied on all sides that any
negro mad been taken in charge by the
MOB, but the sheriff thought differ
entity and awaited the turn of affairs.
Finally by talking and reasoning with
the men, the officers persuaded the
mob to tell where the negro was be-
ing held and to give him up. The
sherif was carried down the road a
short distance and there he found a
large crowd of men with the negro
in the midst of them. The negro had
his coat and shoes off as if the mob
were ready to put an end to him, but
after some protestations he was turn
ed over to the sheriff and the sheriff
brought him to the Jail.
Conclusive evidence has been found
which shows that Walter Moody is
the negro wanted. He will meet trial
at the March term of the Court of
General Sessions.
Sheriff Owings and his assistants
nave been highly commended for saw
ing the neGros life. Unless they had
acted as they did. it is doubtful wheth-
er the negro would be alive today.
AS it is the county is saved the dis
grace Of a lynching.
