Convict Escapes and Makes Assault.
Deult With Quickly.
Toccoa, Ga., .June I I. Atter an at
tack on the Stephens county jail here
lasting Iront 12 o'clock last night un
til this morning at 6 o'clock. Sam
Stephens, a negro convict, who es
caped from the Stephens county con
vict camp a lew days since, was
taken trout the jail hy a body of s?ve
rai hundred men and hanged in the
city limits about two or three hun
dred yards from the residence section
ot' the city.
Sunday afternoon about l o'clock
the negro assaulted a young lady, the
daughter of a prominent farmer of
the county, who lives six miles from
Toccoa. Al the time the young lady.
IC. years of age, and her older sister
were at home alone. She was drag
ged some distance to Hie woods and
Hier?' left in an unconscious eondi
t ion.
Hast night Stephens was captured
tit Madison. S. C., and was brought to
Toccoa by Sheriff Stowe about I 1
o'clock. Soon afterwards many peo
ple began to gather about the jail,
and the negro was demanded, but the
sheriff refused to opon tho doors or
to furnish the keys.
The attack on the jail began as
soon as the young lady reached roc
ina and iden tilled Stephens. Many
citizens undertook to dissuade those
engaged in the assault on the jail,
hut lo no effect. The wall was bat
tered down, and then the cage broken
open. Stephens hid in a dark cor
ner of the cell, lighting lo the last,
and hail to he smoked out. In the
meanwhile he was shot several times,
but not fatally. Two or three persons
I were injured by him.
Ile was dragged from the jail lo
the place where he was hanged and
shot to pieces.
A few years ago Stephens was con
victed in Hall county under a ( barge
of assault with intent to rapo and
assault with intent to murder, am!
was sentenced u, eleven years in tho
penitentiary.
