a negro, alleged to have criminaliv as
saulted a white woman today at
Springfield, thirty-five miles from
here, tonight Is believed to be sur
by armed citizens In swamp
about four miles from that place. 1t
is thought that the negro will never
leave the swamp alive as the people
are thoroughly incensed. 1t Is prob |
able that If the negro Is not killed in
resisting arrest he will be lynched. |
Particulars Of the crime and pursuit
are very meagre as 1t Is impossible to |

Anderson, October %: AS a re-
suit of a conference between the sor-
lictor of this circuit and the coroner |
Of Anderson county, the inquest over
the body of Willis Jackson, the ne
gro who was lynched on October 10
for an assault on a 10-year-old daugh- |
ter of a leading citizen Of Honea
Path, probably will be reopened this
week. The negro was twice identi-
fed by the girl before he was lynched,
but great pressure has been brought
to bear on officials by the local Minis
terial union and the press Of this sec
dict of the coroner's jury was that
the negro came to his death by gum
shot wounds received from unknown
persons, and 1t is. generally believed
the reopening Of the case will fail to
bring out any material evidence
against the persons composing the
mob.
