Lynch Three Negroes For Using The Torch. Olar, March 13.?Three negroes in charge of two cons able3 on their way from Olar to Bamberg to be lodged in j tfa county jail were taken from the I officers by a mob at Odom's bridge, seven miles from this place, and shot to pieces this afternoon. The mob of 75 to 100 men surprised the two constables and quickly securing the three negroes finished their work in short order. The negroes were: Alfred D ;blin, 25 years of age; Richard Dublin, 30 years of age, and Peter Rivers, 10 years of age. All three of the negroes had confessed to attempting to burn the house of J. E. Cook, mayor of Olar, early yesterday morning. On February 21 a destructive fire occurred in the business mrt of the town, resulting in much loss. A fortunate circumstance prevented Mr. Cook's house from sacrifice to the flames. By the merest chance he came from his house to the porcli yesterday morning about 5:30 o'clock. He was surprised at a glow coming apparently from beneath the floor and on investigation found a pile of "fat'' splinters burning and an empty bottle that had contained the oil used to start the fire. With several buckets of water he was able to extinguish the blaze before serious damage had occurred. A rigid investigation followed the attempt to burn the mayor's house In view of the fact that indications at the February fire pointed to incendiary origin, the search was even more determined than might otherwise have been the case. Bloodhounds were r used in the pursuit, but to little avail. One negro was arrested last night, however, and the other two today. , Without being allowed to see or communicate with one another they were closely questioned and finally con| fessed, the three telling the same story. \ ^ All three are known locally as "bad" negroes. All had had trouble with Mr Oodk. Peter Rivers had been convict ed of illegally selling whiskey and Mr. Cook, as 'mayiDr, had fined him $100. The two Dublin negroes had been discharged from the employ of Mr. Ocok. The negroes were held in the guard house at Olar until the confessions were obtained and then it was decided to send them to the county jail at Bamberg. Two constables started this afternoon about 3 o'clock on the lL-mile journey with their prisoners. Olar was in a state of comparative quiet prior to the departure of the officers with their prisoners and no violence wa9 anticipated although the necessity for a speedy trial had been appreciated by a' number of citizens and such a request had been communicated to the solicitor. Just what happened when seven miles of the trip had been safely traveled is more or less conjecture. It is only positively known that at Odom's hridtre a determined crowd, number ing from 75 to 100 men, dispatched the three ''fire-bugs," using bullets as the means of execution. The coroner's jury on Thurs ay returned the usual verdict in such cases, declaring that the three negroes came to their death at the hands of parties unknown. Reardon Convicted. Will Reardon was convicted at Edgefield of the murder of C. H. Cobia t about a month ago, and being recom- . mended to mercy was sentenced to life in the penitentiary. Both were young white men. The case will go zo rue supreme court.
