Oak Tree Served in Two Extremes! \V a I ha 11 a, S. <\, May 2d.?As citizens of Oconee county gathered at the court bouse this morning for the convening of the special term, of court to try alleged lynchers of Allen Green the story went the rounds that the oak tree to which the negro was tied on the night of April 22 by a determined mob which a moment later took his life wTTTT a volley of bullets once sheltered him at one of the happiest moments of his life. Some fifteen years ago, Green had been convicted of a statutory offense against a white woman and sentenced to 1.2 years on the chaingang. At the end of six years, the Oconee county gang happened to have a camp on the same little stream near where he was lynched and Green was a member of the gang. A good worker, and likewise bearing a good reputation as a prisoner, his si-X?years of service earned for him a parole. Today's story chronicled the fact that when the county supervisor approached the. negro to read him the glad tidings of his freedom. Green was seated beneath fhe -aim- tree which a few years later was to hold his body up to receive buflets from a mob's guns.
