peth. charged with being members

pie for masked bands and aid law
enforcement.
Solicitor T. A. Mcneil pointed out
strongly that Lawson. one OF the al
legged leaders OF the flogging party,
is peace officer of ProctorviIle.
and Sam Watson, a policeman OF
that town. was charged by his wife,
one or the victims of the brutal beat
ings, with aiding the alleged con.
spirators.
Mrs. Mary Watson. in her tes-
thnony. said her husband was
responsible for the floggings and
that Mike Lawson swung the
big. heavy strap across the nude
backs OF the two women until he
brought blood.
Describing the whippings, Mrs
Watson said she and Mrs. Purvis
were taken TO a cemetery and laid
across log while their backs were
barred and the lash administered.
Nearby, in the half light of electric
torces flashing on and off. she could
distinguish masked men holding res
volvers in their hands.
The testimony of Mrs. Watson was
attacked by neighbors, who said She
related a different story the day
after the floggings and instead of1
naming Lawson as one of the whip
ping party. partially identified two
other men.
