"NEGRO BURNED 47 TRE STAKE.

SHOCKING BARBARITY IN AMERICA...

.Sopertoo, Ga., Aug. 27. Screaming with abject fear which turned his face to a sickly aihed bus, bleeding from a dozen dirt-ameared gunshot and knife wounds, fighting, biting, scratching,, a, negro convict was dragged through the main street of the town this morping and burned upon a pile of rubbiak.'

The crime for which the last ounce of human expiation was exac.ed by an engaged mob of white men was the willai murder of a chuin gured had the natious wounding of three olbar wate mep seat to retake the escaping convict,

The negro was Ernest Clark, serving a life seolence in the Bibb County chain gang for murder..

}

Just at dusk lastjoveging Clark, working at the end of the line with a pick, wheeled and drove the point into the head of the unsuspect ing guard, James Durden. He then ran dowa the road which he had helped in building, stola rifle from a farmhouse and hid in a weigh bouring.swamp

All night long a posse of citizeni, headed by the sharif, beat the country round.for the orgto, and-sbadly beloia'soarise this morning be was found.

·

The first intinsation the posse had of the negro's close presence was shot, which top- pled Walter Simons from his saddle. Quickly Another shot came from a near-by clump of

bushes, sad another and fle was emptied. The olbers sprang to cover belare the third shot could be fired.

They began a systematic man-huot in the anderbrush by the descend ints of men who know the game through experience with es caping slaves.

Steadily the ring of humanity which was thrown about the swamp closed in. But the negro was alert, and just, as the sheriff was ready to give the command to attack; he fired

bird time, fatally wounding Sheriff James Lester. At the same instant he was struck upon the head from bebind and rendered un conscious.

The negro was equipped with a steel breast protector and an automatic pistol besides the shotgun"

The march to town was heralded by a boy who had seen the posts, and prisoner emerge from the woods and a mob was quickly organised. There was no chance for resistance. A shot was fired at him, striking the left arm. With the other, the enraged prisoner struck the man who held him, felling him abcoarcisos. Another shot hit him, a knife was thrust in his side, and then the dry for firs was raised. This had been provided in advance of the capture.

The fire was then lighted, reducing the body to asbes. The caplive struggled desperately to the end. Before the burni ġ be wis dragged from one end to the other as a spectacle to: hundreds of frightened negroes, Then with a trace chain be was lashed to a piece of railroad iron, which was thrust into the ground to hold bim to the board.
