TWO NEGROES LYNCHED.
Taken From Constable, Hanged And
.Shot, The Negroes Were Accused
of Having Killed Ben Smoak, Prominent
Citizen of Colleton County.
Branchville, June 12.?Frank Samuels
and Quillie Simmons, negroes,
were lynched at Smoaks at about 10
o'clock last night by a mob composed
of about 100 Colleton county men.
Possibly the lynchers were more numerous.
Theircrime, or alleged crime,
was the assassination of J. Ben Smoak
at 9 o'clock on the night of May 29.
The two negroes had been under suspicion
since the commission of the
crime and yesterday afternoon were
arrested by Constable N. M. Maxey,
who started to Walterboro with them.
Lonnie Stokes, a negro, who also
had been arrested, was not lynched.
The report here is that Maxey with
his prisoners was overtaken and compelled
to return to Smoaks. There
the mob carried their victims to a
short distance from the village, and,
hangingthem (Samuels andSimmOns)
to a tree, filled their bodies with shot.
Immediate!}* the mob dispersed and
the neighborhood is quiet.
Ben Stooak was 24 years old, recently
had married, and had gone into
f business only two months ago. He
was closing his store on the evening
of the 29th when he was shot in the
breast. When he did not come home
as usual his brother went out to seek
him and found his body in front of the
store dead.
Samuels and Simmons have been
constantly under surveillance. They
did not bear good reputations. They
were at the store an hour before
Smoak was killed and had their guns.
Since then they have gone about carrying
their guns. Ben Minus, a negro,
meanwhile told the father of the
dead boy that Simmon? and Samuels
had money and that they had buried
some checks which they had taken
from the store. The checks were
found at the place indicated by Minus.
Samuels admitted that he was
accustomed to nse iso. ? snot ana sucn
was the size of the shot with which
Smoak was killed.
Ben Minus also saw Samuels and
Simmons dividing money, in the rear
of Mr. Smoak's stables.
It was said that the two negroes
partially confessej, but denied that
they knew anything about the actual
shooting. Obviously, definite informa|
tion as to what took place at the lynching
is hard to obtain. The lynchers,
however, have no doubt as to the gui t
of their victims and little doubt as to
that is expressed by anybody,
