Situation PrecariOus Over Negro Lynching

MEXIA. Tex, May S.-The situa. tion in Freestone county growing out of the lvnching of Shadrick Green, young negro. said to have been impli- cated in the murder of Eula Awsley, 17-vear-old white girl, by the alleged confession of Snap Curry, one of three negroes burned at a stake for the crime Saturday morning, is a pre- cariousous one, according to officials there
 Greens bullet-riddled body was found hanging to a tree between Teague and Kirvin, east of here, early today. There was nothing to connect Green with the crime other than. the alleged reference to him in Curry's confession. It is believed that the negro was first shot to death and his body then suspended from the tree as a warning to other negroes. Green was held by officers on suspicion last Friday. but was re leased after being questioned.

 Urged For Labor
