BURNED
Southerners Resent Mild
Protest.

I
FAYETTEVILLE, N. c., May 25.
II. C. Butler, white, and deputy
sheriff w. C. Moore, white, were
killed, two other white men shot, and
several homes of colored people burn
ed in a race riot here yesterday.
Alteration between Women.
The trouble started, it is said, be-
tween two women, one white, and one
colored. A white woman, whose
name has been withheld, assailed q
olored woman, calling her vile names,
and using abusive language toward
her.
The colored girl reported the af-
fair to her father, who went to the
white girls father, and notified him
that such conduct on the part of the
white girl must discontinue.
Protest Resented.
The white girls father sharply re-
sented the fact that a colored man
should come to him to complain
against his daughter. A fight be-
tween the two men ensued in which
the colored man came off with the
honors.
Mob Forms.
That night a mob formed in the
public square of the city with deputy
Moore at the head, and proceeded
toward the colored section of the
city with the intention of lynchins
the colored man.
Colored People Ready.
Having learned of the formation
of the mob and their intention to
indulge in wholesael lynch-fest, the
colored people of the section had
| organized for self-defense.
Repulse Mob.
AS the mob approached, the col
ored people opened fire, and the mob
recoiled, leaving dead and wounded
in their wake. Butler and Moore
were among those killed. None of
| the coiored people were hurt.
Reinforcements Called.
| Reinforcements were rushed to the
assistance of the foiled lynchers, and
the mob was formed again. This
time they approached in overwhelm-
ing numbers and succeeded in driv-
ing the colored men into the woods to
the rear of the city, where they again
took up their stand.
The shooting continued through
out the night, and all the homes in
the colored section of the city were
burned, but up to late date no
casualties have been reported among
the colored people.

new WITNESS UPSETS CASE
IN CHAMbL|SS TRIAL
S. A. Brusseaux Springs Surprise.

The closing days of the trial of
ex-policeman Dorsey Chambliss were
marked by the sensational evidence
of hitherto unknown witness in the
person of Spencer Russell, once en-
ployer of peg Leg" Murphy, star
witness for the state. If Russels tes-
timony is admitted, Murphy will
probably indicted as the man causing
Bertha Wiebeck's downfall.
The Wiebeck woman is claimed to
have made dying statement, NAM
ing Chambliss as the man response
BILE for her career of shame, and from
the moment that the ex-policeman's
star was stripped from his breast, he
was painted by the white press as a
trafficker in human souls.
Every effort was made to convict
the defendant before he came to
trial. An old mothers tears Wed with
politics and race hatred to make his
convition sure.
At the preliminary hearing Cham
bliss bond was set at 10000, an un-
heard of figure for the offense of
which the defendant was charged.
Upon appeal to the Supreme Court
this figure was lowered to $4,000.
The trial opened Wednesday, May
10, before Judge Harry Lewis OF
the Circuit Court. The room was
thronged with curious spectators
white and colored.
More care wa sexcercsed in picking
the jury than has been seen in many
cases and for many days. The oppos
ing counsel delved into the politica
affiliations, race feeling, and knowl
edge of the case of every venire
man in detail. When the jury wa.
finally picked, it was the consensus
of opinion that the rules of fairnes!
had been satisfied.
