ana began creeping toward ths
building.
Seeing this move, Walter Jones
ran to patch of weeds nearby. As
Hammett approached, the Negro
fred killing him instantly.
A shot from the seed house
brought down ellis.
by this time the countryside had
been aroused and farmers came
pouring in from every direction.
Everyone began firing at the seed
house.
I'm the meantime call was sent
to Gov. Brewer for troops.
Finding his hiding place in the
grass too precarious. VIII Jones
started to run towards coal chute
nearby. He had gone but few
steps when he fell dead with bull
let through his heart. A rope was
placed around the body, and it was
strung up to a telegraph pole ana
riddled with bullets.
Walter Jones shot Tom Weeks, a ne
gro working on the coal chute.
Weeks fell from the chute to the
ground a distance of fifty feet Eth
err the bullet wound or the fall
would have killed him.
Not long after Weeks was killed
the special train bearing the Natchez
guarGsmen arrived. Their arrival
seemed to COW the desperate and as
the soldiers were detrained, the
posse rushed the seed house. Not q
shot greeted them. Jones. COM
pletely unnerved but uninjured, was
found covering in a corner.
A rope, quickly procured. was
placed around the negro's neck and
he was rushed to the coal chute. AS
the negro was drawn up the rope
broke and he fell heavily to the
ground. Jones stood quietly while
larger rope was drawn around his
neck and again he was pulled up.
The crowd looked on until life was
extinct. without attempting to avoid
the approaching militiamen.
After hanging the negro the men
went to the home of the despera-
does. There they found two negro
men and We're about to lynch them
when officers arrived.
1t seems certain that the negroes
had planned details of their mu =
derous night. They were we'll armed
and had plentiful supply of ammu-
milton. Their mother said one had
remarked that he was going 10
"shoot up" the town. but she
thought him joking. Whether the
two negroes found there and who
We're arrested, knew of the plans Of
the Jones brothers, is not known.
Several hours after II was thought
the dead and wounded had all been
found. the body of Teller Warren, a
negro. was discovered in a hut, ia
the negro quarter. waere Walter
JbhtS ~ DtSdI III lllS.
Warren was one of the first victims
but just when he was shot is not
known.
Twenty persons We're injured,
fourteen of them negroes. None Of
the negroes was dangerously burt.
As there were no signs of further
trouble after Walter Jones was
lynched the Natchez guardsmen re-
turned home tonight
Generally the negro population
was as much incensed at the Jones
brothers as were the whites. They
felt no Indignation at the lynching.
Tonight the bodies still were
hanging to the coal chute and prop
ably will all night. Authorities
have decided not to hold an inquest.
