EMANUEL SLAY. NEGRO. KILLED
BY WHITE MAN IN LAWRENCE

Emanuel Slay. negro. former
resident of this county. but who
for the past two years has been
living in the delta was killed last
Tuesday night near Robinwood, in
this county, by Cliff Hedgepeth. a
young white man of the HOLLYWOOD
community His throat was cut
from ear to ear.
As stated, Emanuel lived in the
delta, having done we'll in that Sec
tion, and had come back 10 Law
renee county to straiRhten up some
business affairs. arriving here Sun
day. and leaving Monticello late in
the afternoon Of the day of the kill
| ing to visit some relatives in the
southern poTtion of the county
At Robinwood he met up with
Cliff Hedgepeth, with whom he
had had some difficulty several
years ago, and after parleying
with each other for some time.
Emanuel rode on, or they both
went off together (this point is not
exactly clear. as it was dark, and
no one paid much attention to
their movem2nts) This was about
niLe o'clock. and about two o'clock
the next morning Sheriff Roberts
received a phone message from
Hedgepeth, at Robinw ood, stating
that he had killed Slay and for him
tu come at once
Mr. Roberts got Mr.. Ed Patter-
son, the county attorney, out of
bed, and they lost no time in get
ting to the scene of the killing,
which was about three miles below
Robinwood, and only a short dis
tance from the residence of Ben
Hammonds. They were accom-
panied by Homer Wilson and
Hedegpeth, the latter plotting the
party to the place. They found
the negro lying in the road, with
his throat cut as stated and with
the bride rein of his horse still on
his arm, the animal not having
tried to get away His neck also
seemed to have been broken
There were some contusions about
the left side of the face and mouth
as if from a heavy blow or fall.
Hedgepeth claims self defense.
stating that ID the scuffie they
we're having Slay was attempting
to use his knife The negro >
open knife was found in the road
near his body. Hedgepeth is
rather small of statute, weighing
probably about 135 pounds. while
the negro was large and burly. and
would have gone nearer 200
pounds. These are the physical
facts, and it is not for US to do
any surmising. Hedgepeth is in
Jail, and will have a preliminary
hearing Saturday before some JUS
tice of the peace. The law is
made for the negro as we'll as the
white man. and the facts in the
case should be clearly brought out.
If the accused man was Justldable
he should be discharged-if guilty
he should be punished Monticello
