ATLANTA MOB
SLAYS NEGROES
Nineteen Killed and Many Injured in
Fierce Race War.
STATE TROOPS CALLED OUT
Atlanta, Ga., Sept 26.?The known
dead, who have met death in connec?
tion with the riots here since last Sat?
urday night, number one white man
and 18 negroes. To this number might
be added the name of Mrs. Robert P.
Thompson, an estimable white woman,
who dropped dead Monday evening as
tws negroes were shot and beaten In
her sight
The third day of Atlanta's race war
passed without serious disturbance.
Rumors literally by the hundreds have
been brought to the attention of the
authorities and to the newspapers, but
not in a single instance had any of the
stories been verified.
Four attempts at assault on white
women by negroes within or near the
limits of the city wrought white citi?
zens here to a pitch of excitement.
The assaults followed two others of
a similar nature within the week and
at least half a dozen others within
the last two months, and brought a
sllmax Saturday night
The usual Saturday night crowds
were largely Increased by men and
boys, who thronged the downtown
streets. There was no leader and no
overt act until late in the evening.
A negro man shoved a white woman
from the sidewalk on Whitehall street,
in the centre of the town. Almost si?
multaneously a negro woman made an
insulting remark to a white man on
an adjoining street, and he adminis?
tered what he considered duo punish?
ment. From this start the mob began
Its work of destruction.
Five thousand men and boys
thronged the downtown streets look*
ing for negroes. New? that a riot
had started brought thousands more
from their homes in the suburbs and
residence districts, until fully 10.000
men thronged the downtown section.
They mad?? attacks on the Incoming
street cars Kadi car was scanned for
negroes. The trolleys were pulled
from the wir?-s, and in the semi-dark
ness of the unllghted care negroes
were heatnn, cut and stamped upon in
an unreasoning, mad ft? a no
gro ventured resistane*? or reraonstrat
ed it meant practically sure death.
One car. half filled with negroes, ap?
proached from an outside run. The
mob dashed for the car. Resistance
wee msde by the negroes, who had not
been apprised of trouble. Three ne?
groes lay dead on the floor of the
car when It was permittag to move
on. snd two more were seriously beat?
en and unconscious.
The entire fire department was called
out to clear th?? streets, and when that
niov?? failed the governor was called
on to on!, r out the militia, snd he
promptly coni piled.
The attacks on negroes had the ef?
fect of clearing the streets of blacks.
Street hacks were abandoned at eurb
lngs; drivers on baggage wagons
Ished and their places were taken by
white meu. This fear of trouble has
affected several public conveniences
Sunday. The postofnoe officials had
much difficulty In delivering special
?; ice deliveries have been ?caree
to private hornea; Is some restaurants
service has been restricted by the ab?
sence of recular waiters. Throughout
the day hundreds of negroes have been
fleeing the city, by train and wagon
and on t>- irled from
the city, fearing the possibilities of
trouble in the immedalte future.
