HAVE UPPER HAND
By Associated Press.


Macon, Ca, Oct. S.-No further
outbreaks in Jasper county, where
Eugene Hamilton, a negro, was
lynched yeterday, was expected here
to-day all reports agreeing that the
sixty or more masked men who shot
the negro had separated and gone
to their homes. Hamilton, 80 years
old, the son of a negro preacher, had
been convicted and given a sentence
of ten years for an attempt on the
life of Charles Tingle, a Jasper coun-
ty farmer. While an appeal for a
new trial was pending, mob spirit
famed up because of alleged delay
in disposing of the case and it was
decided to bring him to Macon for
safe keeping. The negro was taken
from the sheriff just before he
reached here, carried back to Jas
per county, tied to a bridge and his
body riddled with bullets.
Tingle was shot in the back with a
shot gun, but was not fatally wound
