Governor Longino was bit tori** chagrined
to find that ho was too hue to
cave the negroes from death and his
State from disgrace. lie made a
speech to the people in which lie deplored
the lynching, and declared that
terrible evils would follow tlv indiscriminate
taking of life without the
tonus of law.
Recently two Tallafero hoys, sous n'
the murdered couple, left outside their
door two jugs in which they carried
water to the fields where they worked.
Some one put poison in the Jugs, and
when old man Taliafero drank from
one of them next day he was so badly
poisoned that his life was saved with
difficulty.
