]. ?. MILTON At
HOME IN GEORGIA
Il Yet Weak and Suffering from his
Injuries, but win Seen Return
60 Ocala to Prosecute His
Enemies

A letter received Friday evening
from ]. P. Milton announces that he
is at his home in Georgia. He is weak
and i'll from the injuries inflicted on
him by his prosecutors. but he expects
to soon regain his strength and return
here TO resume his business and
Drosecute the men who mistreated
him.
Millions story, which is corroborat-
ed by the evidence of many other pee
pie, reveals that he has been the VIC
tim of one of the worst outrages ever
perpetrated on a white man in Mar
ion county, and if negro has ever
been treated so badly it was because
he had committed a felony at least.
Milton's letter corroborates his
wife's statement that he was attacked
without warning and rushed out of
his home, Tuesday night, May 31st.
His captors carried him to place in
the woods near Blitchton.
He was tied up to a tree and un-
usCECl1uAly DCdlCti plt1CCS AAS S1OLhCS
were beaten clear off of hmm. HIS
shoulder, broken a few weeks ago,
and only partially knit, was broken
again. When his captors let him go,
they told him that if he ever returned
to 0cala he would be killed.
Milton dragged himself to the home
of farmer named Hammons. who
took him in and cared for him that
night. Next morning friendly people
carried him to Williston, where he
obtained medical treatment. He also
was able thru the Williston hank to
communicate with the Ocala bank
where his funds were kept. The Ocala
bank authorized the Williston bank
TO pay Milton his money. and as soon
as able to travel he left for Georgia.
Mrs. Milton determinedly maintains
that she has had nothing but good
treatment from her husband. She
says the bad treatment and threats
to kill him were the results of a con-
spiracy and declares she will prose-
cute his prosecutors. 1t is believed
that Milton knows the names of some
If not all the men who i'll treated him.
When news of the occurrence first
reached Ocala, it was not known Mil
ton had been so badly treated. The
people at Blitehton and WIlliston who
helped Milton kept rather quiet about
It. When the sheriff investigated the
matter. he was given to understand
that Milton had simply been run off,
and found it impossible to do any
thing at that time, tho he expected
to hear from Milton later and obtain
information on which to act But
neither he nor anyone else in Ocala
knew until Friday what wicked act
had been perpetrated.
Closer. investigation has revealed
that the matter was not community
affair. 1t was confined to few peo-
pie, who for a brief time succeeded
in deceiving the community.
One of the worst features of the
affair is that at the time Milton wrote
his letter he was not positive whether
his wife was for him or against him.
He doubtless knows by this time.
Milton has been in Marion county
four or five years. He has gained the
reputation of a hard worker and a
|. conscientious citizen. The county cane
afford to let such men be maltreated
and driven away.
