A small crowd ol men were nr'"s
into the seed house, but no one had
ventured to lead the posse to the place.
. Taking a few men with him Sher. II
Hammett. heavily armed, started to-
wards the seed house, whereupon Wal
ter Jones went to the tall grass near
by and as Hammett approached the
colored man fired, killing him instant
ly. A shot from the seed house brought
down ellis.
Finding his hiding place too precar-
ious, Will Jones started to run towards
a coal chute nearby, but had gone only
a few steps when a bullet ended his
life. A rope was placed around the
body. 1t was strung up to telegraph
pole near the station and became a
target for everyone not shooting at the
seed house.
Soon after Will Jones was killed,
Walter Jones picked Tom Weeks, col
ored, off the coal chute by his deadly
aim. Weeks fell to the ground dead.
Not long after Weeks was killed the
special train bearing the Natchez
guardsmen arrived While the soldiers
were detraining the crowd rushed the
seed house.
Not shot greeted til ON, and as the
leaders went into the place with drawn
weapons they found Walter Jones COM
pletely unnerved but not mi red. They
quickly placed rope around his neck
and rushed him to the coal chn'c. AS
the captive was drawn up the rope
broke and he fell heavily to the
ground.
Not a word or act of protest came
from Jones when larger rope was
drawn around his neck and again he
was pulled up. A large crowd looked
on as the drug-saturated body writhed
until life was exintct.
The crowd then went to the home
of the Jones negroes, where they
found two negro men, whom they were
about to lynch, when officers persuad-
ed them to desist.

on the links of the Whitemarsh Col
club.
O'Brien answers the description OF
the man who was seen with the boy or
the road leading to the golf club. He
is neighbor of the Goldmans, and
when questioned by the police admit
ted that the boy had been in his com
pany for several hours before he dis
appeared His coat is stained with
blood, and the police at once ordered
an Investigation to ascertain if tht
blood crystals are the same as those
of the murdered boy.
The police have unearthed positive
motive for the crime. They found thai
the boys father was married before
and divorced, and only recently had
been threatened with exposure as t.
his past life if he did not give 5000
as the price of silence.
The police admit that they have {
clue which would make 1t appear that

wished to. wreak vengeance on thu
child's father. h
