Hewell, a country merchant at Lop,t Branch near Dublin, and his wife were murdered early this morning after being1 called from their beds. Bloodhounds placed on the trail led the posse to the cabin of three netrroes. Smith Harris .Tno Mov oni) Henry Kitchens. These negroes were hurried to the jail, and, although a heavy guard was established, a crowd outnumbering the guards formed outside the jail and demanded the surrender of the prisoners. At 6 o'clock tonight several hundred citizens had joined the forces outside the jail and had begun to storm the jail. Capture of the prisoners and their lynching is expected. Hewell was shot down with a shotgun. The right side of his face was riddled with No. 4 shot, and his right eye was shot out. It was before daybreak and he carried a lighted lamp in one hand. The lamp set his clothing on fire. Mrs. Hewell ran to her husband's assistance and was ordered back in r.? u~...? u.i: 1 - - ' ? Hie nviuac, it. is wiievcu, as ner ooay was found on the doorstep, as if trying to enter the house. Neighbor Notifies Sheriff. The sheriff and coroner were notified of the shooting by a neighbor, who, on hearing the shots set out for the city. When the officers and a quickly summoned posse appeared on the scene Mrs. Hewell was dead, but her husband was still breathing and suffering awful agony from the wounds and burns. He died while being brought to Dublin by the coroner. Hewell muttered something about a negro having done the shooting, but nothing tangible could be obtained from him. The county's dogs were placed on the tracks and they led to the cabin of Harris, where they also found Joe May. Both negroes were placed under arrest. Harris's tracks are alleged to fit the tracks e i _x 11 1 luunu at tne newen nome. There were barefoot tracks at the scene of the shooting also and the county bloodhounds were placed on these tracks. The dogs went straight to the home of Henry Kitchens, also a negro. A single barrel shot gun was found in Kitchen's home that had been recently fired. He also was arrested. Robbery Motive of Murder. The motive for the murder is believed to have been robbery and the theory is that Harris borrowed Kitchen's gun to commit the deed. They evidently met in the woods to divide the spoils. Mrs. Hewell's trunk was ransacked, the suit cases and grips were thrown into the yard after their contents had been searched, while a small grip in which Hewel! kept his money was found in the woods near where shoe prints and barefoot tracks met. Search of the premises of the negroes failed to disclose any money that had been obtained. Howell evidently put up a hard fight with the negroes as both of his revolvers were found in the yard near the scene of the shooting. Hewell had removed his clothing after it caught fire and he was practically nude when found. Hewell's son travels out of Macon for a packing firm. The son was located at Hawkinsville by phone and has gone to the scene of the crime. Ua...a11 CO 1 iitwcu was oo years oia ana ms wile was 30. Prisoners Spirited Away?

When the crowd withdrew for supper they were not aware of the fact that the sheriff was holding a passenger train on the Wrifchtville and Tennille Road. The negroes were slipped hurriedly out of the jail under a heavy f?uard and placed aboard this train and taken to Eastman. From Eastman they are to be taken over the Southern Railway to the jail at Macon. Europe in its entirety has 197 inhabitants to the square acre. FIGfIT AGAINST BLIND TIGERS. Gaffney's Mayor Determined to Stop Illicit Traffic. Gaflfney, June 22.?Mayor Butler threw a bomb-shell in the "blind tiger" camp of Gaffney yesterday morning, when he arraigned five alleged whiskey sellers in Police Court and confronted them with two detectives, engaged by the city council to put a stop to the liquor traffic in the city. The two plain clothes men came from Charlotte and had been in the city for a month securing evidence against the various and numerous liquor dealers. Of the five arraigned yesterday, four were negroes and one was white. The negroes were all convicted and fined approximately $400. The detectives who have been here were named Ayres and Hall, and were here ostensibly for starting a beef market and conducting: a pressing club. They had several negroes in their employ and part of the evidence was obtained from them. Mayor Butler said yesterday that the selling of liquor in Gaffney must be stamped out and that he intended stopping it if it became necessary to keep a force of detectives on duty here all the time. Since Mr. Butler has asumed the office of mayor he has done a great deal to put a stop to liquor selling in Gaffney. He has had practically all of the more notorious of the blind tigers before him and has administered fines that have had good results. He said yesterday that he intended "putting the lid on and sitting on it" from this time on. A substitute in medicine is never for the benefit of the buyer.
