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.
