Had Been Convicted of Murdering an Entire Family and Sentenced to Dio on the Gallows. With clothing saturated with kerosene, writhing and twisting in their agony, screaming to heaven for the mercy that the mob would not show, Paul Reid and Wifi Cato, negroes, two of the principals in the murder and burning of Henry Hodges and wife and three of their children, six miles from Statesboro three weeks ago, were burned at the stake at Statebboro, Ga., Tuesday.

The climax came quickly and unexpectedly. Trouble had been expected and a military guard had been stationed around the Jail, but It appears their funs were not loaded. It also develops that several deputies were In league with the mob and aided In overpowering the soldiers. The men were chained to a large stump, twelve feet high, pine wood piled around them and then the whole mass saturated with kerosene.
