Norway, June 29.-One of the most horrible murders was committed here tonight that has ever been known in this county. John T. Phillips, white, was sitting down eating supper with his family when some unknown party ohot through the window hitting him in the back of the head and shooting out his brotas. Tile shot also hit two of his children, a small girl about 0 years old and a little boy about ll. Hr. Phillipa was a highly respected white man of this town. Last Saturday evening he and two of his sons had some trouble with some negroes but nothing of a character to provoke auch a deed.-Special to The ! otate. Lynched by Outraged Citizens. Norway, S. C., July l.-Charles Evans, a negro man about 25 years of age, was taken from the lock-up here last night by a mob, consisting ot three hnndred infuriated citizens and lynch ed. Monday night Evans, shot Mr. J. P. Phillips and his little daughter. Ruby, while "they were at supper at their home, the Bhots being fired through a window of the house. It is presumed that Evans committed the deed because of ill-feeling towards a son of Phillips family. Sunday last ?oung Phillips struck Evans with r> uggy whip, and it is presumed that the assassination followed as a matter of revenge. Evans was caught Mon day and lodged in the look-up. Late Tuesday night an infuriated crowd of citizona of Norway and its vicinity broke open the doors of the guard house, took the murderer out and hang ed him to a near-by tree. The mob then dispersed. Today all is quiet in the town. Orangeburg. July 2.-Your corres pondent haoT a con?e;sation to-day ?Ith a party from Norway and learned BODIA of the particulars of the lynching at that town on Tuesday night, lt seems that there was little doubt ol the guilt of the Evans brothers and there is proof that the plot to kill old Mr. Phillips was concocted a day oi two in advance, and that it was known to several of the other'negroes of that section. The first substantial clew tc the fe ail t of the Evanses came from negroes, and their well-known dispo sition to talk resulted in the cat being let ont of the bag. One of the Evana Knca remarked after the shooting tc another negro, who, no doubt, knew of the plot: "I got him. ' This remark passed from one to another among the negroes and reached the white people Several negroes were made to tell what they knew of the matter and even Charles Evans, when caught did not deny being implicated in the affair He admitted that lie was present, bul alleged that his brother, James Evans, did the shooting. There seems tobi little doubt among the people of Nor way that there were two persons al the house of Mr. Phillips the night ol the shooting, and that the two persone present were Charles Evans and thc younger brother, James Evans, lt is i question of doubt as to which of them actually shot the gun. it is said that an old muzzle-loading musket wai Hay! jFAy +Hx> Kl/\ru3?- AaaA anil ?hat *h* shot was fifed ^through the window glass, as the Bash was down at thc time. It is probable that the men were standing very close to the win dow at the tune the shot was fired, Charlea Evans was caught with little trouble, as the posse neted ver y promptly upon receipt of information but (the brother so far has mode good his!escape. It is thought that he is in Robert Swamp, which is very close tc > the home of the Evanses and not fai , from Norway. There is nothing in thc report that he came to Orangeburg and surrendered to the sheriff'. Jit is prob able that in the event James is found in the neighborhood of Norwav he wiU meet the same fate as Charles, but il is Bald that should this party get in thc hands of the officers there will be nc efforts used to take him by force. Special to the News and Courier. Militia CalW Out. Columbia, July 4.-Tonight abou 10.80 Gen. Frost received a telegran from J. L. Glover, intendant of Nor way, in which he said: "Better Bene troops at once; trouble expected befori morning." Many of the members ol the three military companies were ai Hyatt Park, and Gen. Frost got their together as quiokly as possible. He secured Capt. Lewis W. Haskell, ano in a short time had a company of fifty men from the three companies wfcc came to the city, and wore at noce pre pared to go. A special on the Seaboard was gotten ready and about midnight the troops left under command of Capt Haskell. There was much dissatisfaction among the military men left behind because they could not go, but fifty men were thought sufficient. Since the lynching of Evans the negroes of Norway have been in a suris mood and large crowds of thom gather ed in the town today. Trouble wat brewing all da^, but oisly late tonight was it^thougfit necessary to ask lox military aid.-Special to the News and Courier. Columbia, July C.-Col. Patrick, who accompanied the Columbia Company to Norway Sunday morn?r.?, made a report today to the adjutant general. He says that he found no immediate danger of an uprising, but thought the sending of the troops there had a good effect as there was considerable feeling among the negroes because of the lynching of Evans. Mr. Phillips, on account of whom the lynching occur red, died yesterday. Dynamiter* at Work.
