fired the Spraggins home. Mrs. Sprag-
gins's husband saw the flames while
working in the fields and rushed into
the house in time to save his wife.
She declared that Carter, a former
workman on the Spraggins farm, at
tackled her. Officers went to Carter's
home and arrested him and he was
turned over to a constable, but
escaped. This afternoon three negroes
pulled Carter from underneath a box
car at the railorad yards here.
Carter was taken to the main street,
where a great crowd had gathered.
The negro was placed on an oil soaked
brush heap built around telephone

licked the victims face, and men and
women in motor cars watched him die.
The negro shrieked for mercy. After
the flames had died down the crowd
slowly disappeared.
