LINCOLN'S SHERIFF
AND TYLERTOWN MOB
Erroneous Press Statements About
His Actions.

In the Times-Picayune of Nov. %,
appeared an item under a Hazlehu"st
date line purporting to be an interview
with Judge D. NJ. Miller concerning the
lynching of Harry Jacobs at TylectoWn
on November 23, which contains several
mis-statements and which is unfair to
me. Promptly after the appearance of
the dispatch, I received from Judge Mil
ler letters disavowing the interview and
stating that he did not know the au-
thor; that the telegram mad not been
sent by the regular correspondent Of
the TimesPicayune at IIazlehdf5t.
The article quoted Judge Miller as
saying that 1 was in one Of the jury
rooms in charge of the negro and cuun-
seled him and the Walthall County Of
ficers to turn Jacobs over to the mob.
The fact is directly the opposite. l
had promised the Judge to deliver the
negro safe in Tylertown and did SO at
1890 Tuesday morning. did not see
him again until he was IN the hands
of the mob When he WAS taken from
the court house, I was 4 block away
inside a drug store. The sheriff of Wal
thall County is competent to handle the
affairs of his office and there was nc
reason for me to be in charge cf the
court house. 1t would have been pre-
sumptuous for me to have undertaken
such task. Not being in the court house
it was impossible for Judge Miller OF
any other court officer to ask my pdvicc
about yielding to the mob and sucE
statement is pure fabrication, US is tlso
the statement that the mob were provid-
ed with dynamite with which 20 destroy
the court house.
The article referred to quotes Judge
Miller as saying that a plot was made
ur and a committee appointed 10 kill
me if I offered resistance to the mob.
do not believe this is true; certainly
any such committee had ample oppor
tunity to carry out instructions when
was at the court house door before the
mob had made any attempt to force an
entrance.
The article states that white light
ming was at the bottom of the lynch
ing. Thay may or may not be true; /
saw no evidence of drunkenness in the
crowd. believe that the lynching tool
place because the public mind was in
famed by the horrible crime of the ne
gro rapist, who got only what he de
served. although his death ought to hav,
been at the hands of the law.
Men from Washington Parish and 9th
er Louisiana and Mississippi counties
may have been present, but it is fair
to presume that the friends and neigh
bors of the outraged lady would not
be missing at such time.
