SERVED A SHORT SENTENCE,
Wayman Hunter Sent to the (hnln
tiling Thursday Afternoon and Died
Saturday Afternoon.
Wayman Hunter, who was convicted
at the last term of court of House
Breaking and Larceny, and sentenced
twelve months on the chain pang, was
sent to the gang Thursday afternoon
and Saturday afternoon he was dead.
As some rumors were circulated
among the negroes that the negro
had Come to Ids death from the ef
fects of overwork and harsh treat
ment. Supervisor Humbert looked in
to the matter and had the coroner to
make an investigation. Dr. lt. R.
Walker made an examination of the
negro and came to the conclusion that
he died from the effects of cocaine
poisoning and that his death was na
tural.
From the story of Chain (lang Guard
Jim Bowers. Hunter was put to li^ht
work Thursday afternoon, as is us
ually done with new prisoners. While
at work Friday Hunter picked up his
shovel and walked oil' and had to he
caught after a little struggle. While
being carried hack to the rest of the
gang, the negro again broke loose
from the guards and ran into an empty
cabin saying that he wanted water.
A trusty was sent in after him and
another struggle ensued in which Mr.
Towers bad to go to the rescue of the
trusty. In getting him under subjec
tion. Hunter was struck three times
with a small hickory stick, and these
three licks Mr. Powers says are all
that wer - bit the negro at all. Seeing
that he was acting queerly, no more
work was demanded of him. Satur
day morning, however. Hunter ate a
hearty breakfast and so was put to
work again. About ft o'clock he took
violently ill and Dr. Walker was sent
for. He pronounced the trouble as
due to cocaine and left medicine for
the negro to take and two men were
put in charge of him. Later on he got
worse and about three o'clock he died.
As Coroner Hairston did not think
the facts in the case tended to show
that the negro's death was due to ov
erwork or cruel treatment, no inquest
was held. Dr. Walker only making an
examination of the body.
The woman of today who has good
health, good temper, good sense, bright
eyes and a lovely complexion, the re
sult of correct living and good diges
tion, wins the admiration of the world.
