HORRIBLE BUTCHERY.
Eight negroes shot to death in Barnwell?
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. Thing^aAaJjwrf'Trppe&riince
