One of the moat brutal and
cold blooded tragediee ever en-
acted in the etate was committed
in the Cooke* Point community
about aix milea eaat of here
Monday night about 11 o'clock
when 8am Riohardaon, one of
the beat white ¡farmers of that
aeetion waa called to hia door by
a negro, and helJttconversation
a few minuted and later
went out in the yard or lot with
the negro, auppoaedly to pen a
hog. but ahortly after getting
out in the yard or lot M r. Rich*
a id son waa hit ^several blowa
acroaa aide of ijbe bead with a
scantling, making a wound about
eight inchea long, killing him
in a few minutea. In fact be waa
dead when they reached him.
He gave a acream when firat hit,
and hia daughters who ia almoat
a dumb mute, ran to hie aid, and
abe waa at once attacked and
knocked unconscious, and crim*
inally assaulted by the black
brute, and left in the yard to die.
Two daughters of F. Odatrcil,
who were staying at the Rich-
ardaon home, made their escape
and ran to Aug. Zwnerman'a, a
neighbor, and gave the alarm,
and Zwnerman got hi8 shot gun
and went to th¿ acene at once,
but thought the negeo waa hid
in the houae and did not go
in right away, but aummoned
other neighbora, and the officera
here were telephoned for, and
Mr. Richardaon'a two aona were
called from the bottom and all
arrived at the acene a few hours
after it happened and found the
young lady had managed to get
into the houae and lock the door
and her brothera broke in a win*
dow to reach her, finding her
unconacioua. Dra. Sherrill and
Goodnight attended her and re-
port her condition waaaerioua
and that she had been criminally
aaaaulted.
Sheriff Ellia and deputie8 with
Tax Collector L. W. Henalee. W.
E. Taylor and many othera after
getting a deacription of the
brute, traced tracka to the home
of Charlie Sandera, who Uvea a
few milea away, and placed him
in jail, later taking him to Cam-
eron for aafe keeping.
The aheriff was overtaken a
couple of milea out of town by a
number of citizena who objected
to the negro being taken out of
the county, but the aheriff waa
allowed to proceed with him on
the promiae that he would be
brought baok at once for trial,
