Glovei and E. \V. Lamar brought the prisoner, Sam Williams, to the city yesterday afternoon. Mr. Glover, when seen last night by a reporter, said that Sheriff Alderman considered it very necessary that the prisoner be placed in the penitentiary at thera had beon much talk of lynching on the streets of Aiken since Tuesday last when Williams was captured and jailed in that city. The Yaucluse men were thorough ly enraged hy the crime end neemed determined to have revenge. TU? ..i ?L iuo Biory 01 me crime is well remembered. Some time ago a negro broke into the kitchen of a house occupied by a Miss Chirk in VaucluBe and assaulted her. She furnished an accurate descrip tion of the man and he was idem tified by many as Sam Williams, a strange negro, who had beer loafing around the town for som< time. A posse was organized anc the search kept up for some days, but in vain. About two weeks after tint crime three negroes again broke into Miss Clark's home and demanded supper. She was terri fied, especially as she thought she recognized her assailant as one ol the party. On the pretext of obtaining some sugar, she slipped into another room and out to a neighboring bouse and gave the alarm. No trace of the negroes was, however, ever discovered. Last Tuesday Williams, the man answering to the description given by Miss Clark was found in an unoccupied house which he had broken into near Vaucluse. lie was taken by surprise and captured without effort. After being taken to Aiken as stated above he remained there until yesterday when he was hrniiflfkl In rnliimkia Williams is a young negro about 21 years old, black as the ace of spades and rather tall.
