Three negroes were shot to death by a mob of 500 persons last night near Round Oak and Wayside, two villages about thirty thir-ty miles from here and authorities today to-day began search for others who are missing. Telephone wires leading to the villages vil-lages were cut and news of the shooting shoot-ing did not become known here until today when Sheriff's deputies arrived with three negroes who are being held in connection with killing of Silas Turner, a farmer whose death precipitated precipi-tated the trouble. Turner went to the home of W. H. King, a negro near Round Oak, to collect col-lect a bill and during a dispute which resulted he was shot. |
