It K VIOLATIONS MAY SHOCK YOltK COUNTY.! Crand Jury Will lie Called to In-( vestigate Lynching ??f Negro j Preacher. i . York. Sept. 3.?"W. T. Sims camel to his death at the hands of parties unknown to the jury." ch was the verdict of the jury of inquest into the killing of Rev. Watson Sims, a negro, near here August 23. which was rendered at 5:45 this afternoon. The coroner's jury was dismissed and announcement was made that the grand jury would be called to I meet Monday morning to continue the investigation. A crowd of more than 500 people, most of them from the community | in which the tragedy occurred, filled! (the court house here long before thej inquest was resumed this morning. Practically every business man in Sharon closed his place of business for the day and came here. More than 200 negroes were present. Another White Man Arrested. The ninth arrest in connection i with the affair was made this afterI noon when T. R. Penninger. a blacksmith of Sharon, and a man who has many friends, was lodged in jail, lie is the father of Fred Penninger, who was placed in jail the morning the I dead body of Sims was found. What evidence there is against the senior Penninger has not been divulged. Idttle testimony of value came out ; at the hearing today. Solicitor Hen-! ry was present and he put 1n a busy day. The authorities are confident now they know every man in the crowd who killed Sims and all will , probably be arrested before the: grand Jury meets Monday. They I j say they know every essential detail g ' l uiiiioi iru wini ine irageoy. Sensation in Store. The whole county will undergo , more or less of a shook when anjnouncement of arrests yet to be made is published. Men in positions of trust will likely have to clear themIselves of the charge of being parties I to the lynching. Nobody was surprised at the inquest jury's verdict today. With what little evidence was before j them they could not have done otherwise. The grand jury's investigation next Monday will be morel : searching and thorough. T. F. MoDow, iEsq.. of this place, jhas been retained to defend the nine men now In jail charged with comIpliNty in the lynching.
