April 27, 1899 THB NEBRASKA INDEPENDENT. GOVERNOR CANDLER TALKS, Dlscossee tbe Burning ad MatUatloa of the Negro.Sam Hoee. Atlasta,' Go., April 23. Governor Candler gave the following statement , on the burning of Sam Hot near Newman: "The whole thing i deplorable and Hone's 'crime, the hot rid details of which have been published, and are too horrible for publication, is the most diabolical in the annals of crime. The negroes of that community lost the best opportunity they will ever have to elevate themselves in the estimation of their white neighbors. The ' diabolical nature of the double crime was well known to" every one of themi the per petrator was well known and they owed it to their race to exhaust every means of bringing Hoe to justice. This course would have, done more to protect their race against the mob than all the rewards and proclama tions of all the governors for the next fifty years, JJut they lost the oppor tunity, and it Is a deplorable fact that while scores. of intelligent negroes, leaders of their race, have talked to me about the I'almetto lynching, not one of them has ever In tbe remotest way alluded to either the burning of I'almetto, which provoked the lynch ing, nor to the diabolical crime of Hose, "I do not believe these men sympa thized with Hose or the Palmetto in cendiaries, but they are blinded by race prejudice and ean see but one side of the question. This is unfor tunate. They must learn to look at both sides. I want to protect them in every legal right and against mob vio lence, and I stand ready to employ very resource of the state In doing so, but they must realize that in order to merit and receive the protection of the community they must show wil llngless to at least aid in protect ing tbe community against the lawless element of their own race. Tbe good and law-abiding negroes must separ ate themselves from tbe lawless apd criminal element, They must de nounce crime and aid in bringing criminals to Justice, whether they be black or white. In this way they can do more to protect themselves than all the courts and juries in the state can do for them, To secure protec tion against lawless whites they must how a disposition to" protect the white people against lawless blacks r Had U basil Remlndera- Ati.ASTA, On., April 20, On special Add two regular trains carried nearly 4,000 people to Newman to witness the burning of Sam Ifose, or to visit the scene of the horrible affair.

Secretary Alger has received from Major General Otis, a report regarding the alleged treasonable communications which it has been asserted have passed between people in this country and the sol diers. The secretary felt from the first that there was no ground for the sensational statements, but as a mat ter of public policy took immediate steps to learn from General Otis what, if any, foundation existed for them. The tatter's report shows that one of the rcgimvnts under his command re ceived some cablegrams reading as follows: "Don't enlist, boys." One or two of theso were signed "Committee" or 'The Committee," while others had no signatures. The secretary did not make public the name of the organi zation to, which the , dispatches had been sent The whole matter had been very much exaggerated, he said, as General Otis' reports showed that It was only to tbe above extent that any communications of the character indicated had passed.

HIS RIVAL WANTED TO SEE HER A raltoa Man Kills a Volunteer Who Tried to Call on the Yon of Woman. - . FvLTOft, Ma, April 23. A shooting which resulted in the death of Thomas Ganaway, who was recently a member of company M, Fourth Missouri volun teers, and who returned to Fulton about the middle of February, oc curred in the house of Mrs., Amanda Jane Palmer yesterday afternoon at 1 o'clock, Eddie Valuier being the slayer. A company of five young men had gone to the house to visit a young lady who is stay ing with Mrs, Palmer. On entering the room Mr, Ganaway asked where Miss Lillle Harvey was, and on being told that she was in an adjoin ing room, remarked that he was going in to see her. Palmer said: "No you are not," and drew a 83 American bulldog revolver and fired three shots at Ganaway, one ball entering at the throat and one taking effect just un der the left shoulder blade, passing through the heart, Death was instan taneous, Miss Harvey is, a swectheait of Palmer's and he refused Ganaway ad mittance into the house, but be cam uninvited Palmer says that he does not regret the shooting, as it was done in self-defense. It is thought that Palmer is insane, as he drew his gua and threatened to shoot August Alke, a Fulton butcher, some two week ago. Miss Harvey is prostrated over the affair, .

STRICKLAND LYNCHED, Xegro Preeoher Motlleted by a Oeorgls Mob I'roteste Innocenee. . Tai mietto, Oa., April 26 The bxly of Llge Strickland, the negro preacher who was implicated in the Cranford murder by Sam Hose, was found swinging to the II rub. of a persimmon tree within a mile and a quarter of this place early yesterday, lit-fore death was allowed to end the suffer ings of the negro his ears were cut off and tho small finger of his left hand was severed at the second joint. On tho chest of the negro was a scrap of blood-stained note paper attached with an ordinary pin. Un one side of this paper was written: "New York Journal. We must pro tect our ladles, 23-D0." The other side of the paper contained a warning to the negroes of the neighborhood. It read as follows; lSeware, all darkles. You will be treated the same way," lie fore being finally lynched Strick land was given a chance to confess to the misdeeds of which the mob sup posed him to be guilty, but he pro tested his Innocenee until the end. Three times tho noose was placed around his neck and the negro was drawn up off the, ground; three times he was let down with warnings that death was In store for him shou'd he fail to eunftfks his complicity lu the Cranford murder. Three times Strlck land proclaimed his tnuocenue, until, woary of useless torturing, the mob pulled on the rope and tied the end around the slsuder trunk of the per simmon tree. Not a shot was tired by tho inuU Striekiand was strangled to death. A coroner's jury held an lniiekl at l'sluii'tto and reudered the uusl ver dict death at the hands of parties unknown.
