Taken from the County Jail by a Masked Mob, Carried a Mile Out of Town, Tied to Trees and Killed. Special to the Register. Babnwell, S. C-, Dec. 28. -An armed and masked mob of about one hundred men went to the county jail this morning between 3 and 4 o'clock, overpowered the jailoT, took eight negroes to a point about one mile irom town, tied them to trees and shot them to death?litterally riddling their bodies with bullets. Two men came to the jail and asked the jailer to receive a prisoner, and as he opened the gate he was seized by them and the keys taken fror* him. The men lynched were two of the Heffernan murderers, Ripley Johnson and Mitchel Adams; Peter Bell, who was held for "the murder of young Robert Martin on the night of the ,24th; Handy Johnson and. Hngh Furse, who^P%?C^eld as accessories, with "Judge" Jones, Robei1r?Us>enix and Roper Morrall, who were held as wiliieaseei The Sheriff was notified by^V^-jall^? an<* he summoned the town mar8h8llfin&-*be_ writer, and we three procured a lantern at 5 a. m. and proceeded to see if all were killed. As we walked silently up the road the rays of light fell upon the most horrible sight we ever witnessed?eight men tied around the tfaist, hands and feet, to trees, riddled with bnllets. It seems as if they were tied with their backs to the trees, standing up, but some had slipped down and some were hanging with.thbir feet and hands down. They were within fire feet of the road, and the men stood in the road and fired. From empty shells lying on the ground, there was a number of vo}leys fired, all of which was heard by many of the citizens, but they thought it was fire works. * - The lynchers were as quiet as lamba and as determined as bulls. The crowd of oVer 100 men rode in town with no more noise than if two gentlemen had leisnrely rode in. They passed right beneath the window where the writer was innocently slumbering. The news of the lynching was not known in town till we returned at 6 a. m. The negro women ruaued to the jail with wild shrieks, and men were prowling over the town with a revengeful look. The Sheriff at once wired to Biackville, Bamburg and Will is ton for help, and also to Governor Richardson.
