REMOVAL
OF SHERIFF
FOR LYNCHIAG

McRae. Ga, Sept 6.-Orders for
the solicitor general of this superior
court circuit to take action for the
removal from Office Of Sheriff Will
liams as result of the lynching
near here last May of Berry Wash
ington, an aged Colored man have
been issued by Judge E. D. Graham,
1t became known today. A deputy
sheriff, since deceased, was termed,
"a ring-leader of the mob" in the
grand jury report.
The removal proceedings were
started on recommendation of the
Telfair county special grand jury
which investigated the lynching and
reported "the deplorable fact that the
evidence we have had before us is
not sufficient to fasten guilt on the
parties responsible for this crime.n
The report added that aided by Judge
Graham and the solicitor general of
the circuit the grand jury had made
''every possible effort to discover the
guilty parties"
Sheriff Williams was away at the
time Washington was taken from
the jail and in addition to saying that
1--WE feel that the sheriff was guilty
of gross negligence of duty in not
protecting the prisoner in his
charge" the grand jury declares that
in the sheriffs absence the jail was
left in charge of "a deputy (now de-
ceased) who not only was familiar
with the intentions Of the mob but
who also-from what he stated to
one Of the witnesses predicted what
occurred later on and in such way
that there can be no doubt that was
not only sympathizer but ring
leader of the said mob"
Proceedings against Sheriff viii
liams are set for the third week in
Octohor.
