They were sitting on boxes that had been wagon. One sat on the seat beside the driver, Atkinson. One negro in the body of the wagon rose up on his feet and threw up his shackled hands. That motion was his last for a shower of bullets was poured into his body. He fell over and out of the wagon and into the road dead The negro sitting beside the driver threw his arms about Atkinson with a gestuue and exclamation of suppli cation. The muzzle of a shotgun was shoved against his stomach and the charge was sent through his body. Detective Atkinson was grasped by several of the mob, hus tled up to the side of Richardson and there held until the murderous work was over. was poured into the bodies of the shackled and manacled negroes in the wagon until all of them were dead. Then the mob took the bodies out of the wagon, threw them on the road, and continued to fire volley after volley into them. Richardson and Atkinson say there were fifty persons in the mob; that some of them wore no disguise, while others had their heads encased in a dark eloth, but that it was so dark it would have been impossible to recognize a single individual, even had the officers been well ac- quainted with the people in that part of the country. Having con- cluded its work the leader of the mob shouted “Forward, boys!” guns shouldered and the members of the mob walked back into the woods that lined the road and disappeared. The lynched negroes were all ac cused of arson, and all are said to have belonged to an organized band of barn burners that had in five years destroyed thirty-two barns, as many resideuces, and other property of great value in the vicinity of Kerr ville, Lucy, Millington and Bolton College, Tenn. Detective Richardson arrived in Memphis this morning and reported the lynching to Sheriff McLendon and criminal court judge L. P. Coop- er. Judge Cooper at once sent for the grand jury, and instructed that body to investigate the affair and re turn indictments against the mem- bers of the mob. Later in the day Judge Cooper issued bench warrants for Detective Richardson and Atkin- son, charging them with complicity in the lynching, and they were sent to jail and denied bail. Warrants were issued for forty farmers who are supposed to have been members of the mob. Richardson protested at first, but finally lost his air of in jured innocence and quietly went to prison. He sent for J. M. Steen, an attorney, and to night Mr. Steen said that he might attempt later on to get his client out on bond Fol. lowing the arrest of Richardson, Judge Cooper issued the bench war rant for Atkinson. The sheriff up to noon had taken no action, but he will probably send a posse or detec- tives into the Millington country to- morrow. | | _— | Mrs. E. F.
