MARTIAL LAW HINT TOCURB FLOGGINGS Florida Governor Tells Sheriff te End Mob Rule or He Will. By the Associated Press. TALLAHASSEE, Fla.,, September 15.—Sheriff R. J. Hancock of Putnam County must put down the mob rule declared to exist in his territory or another sheriff will be sent to relieve him, and if the officer substituted is unable to cope with the situation, martial law will be declared, Gov. John W. Martin said yesterday, fol- lowing a conference with the sheriff and Mayor A. 8. Waymer of Palatka here. The conference was called for a discussion of the situation in Putnam County, where 63 flogging cases have been reported recently, two of which victims were women. The governor's summons of Sheriff Hancock and Mayor Waymer was sent out yesterday. It followed the submisston of over 350 pages of testi- mony, the result of an investigation into the floggings conducted by J. C. Adkins, State’s attorney for that district. Gov. Martin, in a statement after the conference, sald detailed condi- tions in the county were discussed and that he had made it plain to Sheriff Hancock that the situation would have to be relieved immediately. The sheriff, the governor d, promised to put on additional duputies at once and to do everything in his power to stop the floggings. “I told Sherif Hancock there had heen 63 floggings in the county and no one had been apprehended; that two cold-blooded murders had taken place and the authorities had been unable to learn anything about them. I also told him that for white women to be taken out and beaten by white men was inconceivable, and that it was going to stop in Putnam County if it took all the resources of my office to do so. “Upon reading the records in the floggings, submitted by Mr. Adkins, T did not find Sheriff Hancock implicat- ed, but it is not a question of his I being {mplicated, but whether he would break up the lawlessness.” The governor said he told Mayor Waymer the Putnam County floggings are a “disgrace to Florida.” “I told the mayor that if théy did not put a stop to it,"I would declare martial law.” Putnam County is located on the upper circle of what is known as cen-’ tral Florida. at about the dividing line between the northern and central sec- tion. 1Its county seat, Palatka, is about 50 miles from Jacksonville. - -— TC-7 Returns to Illinois.
