Aiken, Sept: {?.- -When the full news of iht' frightful assault ami lynching near Montmorenei broke 'over the coun ty this morning, hundreds 'of citizens burried to the scene of the affair only to 11 till that dull uu the night pieties had poured gasoline . over the dead bodies of Thompson and Butler. the two negroes lynched, the night before, ?mil had partly burned the bodies as they lay in the eorntiold In rear of the victims home. Karly this morn ing J. 11. Teague, of Newberry, arrived with three 'bloodhounds, but as the sheriff bad found the men lynched when he reached the -scene of the crime orders were given to have the hounds leashed in Aiken until daylight. Cor oner Thomas Tarver held an inquest ? ver the remains of Butler arid Thomp son ibis morning and the usual verdict in such cases was announced by the jury, .viz: That Butler and Thompson cuttle t>> their deaths from gunshot wounds fired- by unknown parties. Aiken is quiet today, and many of her citizens denounce the engaging of farm laborers <$rom the chaingang and the guard house, which in some cases h*is- been done in the county. Thomp son. i lie negro 'lynched last night, was formerly a .prisoner in the Aiken 'bar racks. held for vagrancy. There are many of the opinion that a law against paying fines for vagrants and other prisoners -should be enacted. 'Mrs. Hondrix. the white viefTm of the negroes, was taken to the Aiken hospital early this morning, but not the slIgTiTest hopes are given by phy sicians that -she will recover. In ap pearance she was a remarkably fine looking woman. of tall, strong phy sique. It is reported that the two men slain were stood up in the field with a long line of men facing them, and that a signal, the volley of shot was fired into their bodies. Hot h men prayed a few minutes before the signal was given. It Is said. II \IF IX) A I) OF LIQIOIC Columbia .Man iiets in ISad at Heath Springs. Heath Springs. Sept. !? T.
