Three negroes were lynched in Dolleton county two years ago for he murder of Mrs. Jones, the wife >f a section master on the Atlantic 3oast Line. There was no direct ividence to connect them with the srime, but the cry was raised and a nob soon formed, bent on vengeance. Che motive of the killing is supposed o have been robbery. According to he Charleston Evening Poet, it is eported that on his death bed the ither day, Junes admitted that he lad slaughtered bis wife, and he died >efore he could give the details of his irime. If what the man says is true, he outrageous work of the mob annot be condemed in language too trong. It is claimed by friends of he husband that his mind was wandring, that he was not responsible or what he said, yet it is frequently he case that in his last moments a nan will confess almost any sin, specially when it has been bearing leavily on his soul. It is to be toped that he was crazy, and there ore was simply rambling in bis peech. It is too late, perhaps, to ret at the truth, and it would hardly lelp, but the mob will always conend that it was a lunatic and not a nurderer who died the other day in Colleton. Why Do "Wo Die.
