of Leonard BARNES at a picnic several days ago, had a preliminary hearing before
Judge Salter yesterday morning and was discharged from custody after the hearing of evidence.
Hartin was completely exonerated of all blame, as it was clearly shown at the trial to be self defense.

visits old home place. They spent most of their time here with Mr. Barnes brother, S. F. Barnes.
    It had been 29 years since the two brothers had seen each other. After Mr. Barnes arrived
at his brothers they decided to have their other brother Mr. B. H. Barnes of
Oklahoma, with them for the Christmas Holidays. This was Mr. B. H. Barnes first visit to
Andalusia since 1884. It was also the first time the three brothers had met since 1884.
    It was 1892 when Mr. Newt Barnes left Andalusia. There were only four stores and one bar room in
 Andalusia at that time. The bar room was run by A. J. Prestwood. Mal Riley was judge, 
Jim Bradshaw  was sheriff, Will Caralhon, S.C. O'Neal and a Mr. Thomas were some of the businessmen.
   After leaving Silver Springs, two miles from Andalusia, there wasn't a house until you got to
Watkins' Mill, and after that there wasn't a house until you got to Florala. A. J. Prestwood lived
in the nicest house in Andalusia. The streets were not paved. There were no brick houses.
    The Courthouse was a wooden structure. Mr. B. H. Barnes left here in 1884 for Texas.
He left Texas in 1899 going to Oklahoma where he had lived since.
      This is his first visit here in 50 years.

COMER WILL SEE TAFT
       WILL ASK FOR PARDON FOR W.S. HARLAN

President Taft expected to make decision on question within a few days-
Washinton, D.C. June 19 -
  
  Governor Comer arrived here today to confer with President Taft regarding a PARDON for
W. S. Harlan of Lockhart, Covington County, convicted in the United States Court on Peonage charge.
It is remembered that the case was reviewed by the Attorney General Wickersham and was sent to the White House with recommendation that the verdict stand. The Alabama and Florida Senators as well as other prominent members have interested themselves in the matter.
   Those who have been working in behalf of Mr. Harlan claim that he is the victim of a peculiar chain of circumstances and they hope, the declare, to convince President Taft of that fact and secure executive clemency.
  All that can be said about the matter just now is that it stands as it did 10 days ago. President Taft
is expected within the course of a few days to decide whether or not the sentence of the court should be carried out.  The friends of Harlan are quite hopeful today. although the President has not stated positively what his action will be. Ex Congressman Jesse Stallings, Attorney for Harlin, is also here again working hard on the case -   Alfred J. Stofer to Montgomery Advertiser.

(Note- It is unclear to me why the Dothan Newspaper is dated June 11, 1909 on Microfilm, yet the article is dated June 19 - this was apparently a typing error)

VENGEANCE IS METED BY MOB
____  NEGRO BURNED AT STAKE IN THE COUNTY OF COVINGTON.______

Andalusia, Ala., Oct. 4-- Six hours after he had committed criminal assault upon MRS. HIRAM STUCKEY, a prominent young woman of Covington County, BUSH WITHERS,
a negro "trusty" at the Henderson convict camp was taken from the warden last night while
en route to prison at Andalusia, tied to a stake by an infuriated mob of 400, and burned.
  The lynching was conducted in a quiet and orderly manner, after which the mob,
formed from adjoining towns, dispersed to their homes leaving no traces of their fury
except the ashes of the negro.
  The crime for which the negro was lynched was committed early yesterday afternoon,
when he went to the Stuckey farm for the purpose of getting drinking water for his fellow
convicts, who were employed at a swamp near by. Entering the house, it is declared,
the negro assaulted Mrs. Stuckey, after which he  cudgeled ( cudgel-a short,thick club) her into insensibility in an effort to strifle her cries.  This morning, it is reported, the woman is in
a precarious condition, with little hope of recovery. Fracture of her skull is feared.
  Before lapsing into insensibility, Mrs. Stuckey informed her rescuers of the assault, naming
the "trusty" whom she knew, as the perpetrator of the deed.  The negro was caught and
hurried to the stockade at Sanford, six miles from Andalusia. Upon hearing rumors of the mob,
Warden J. L. Long at 9 o'clock attempted to spirit the convict to prison at Andalusia, but was
intercepted on the outskirts of the village, where his charge was taken from him. Then tied him
to a stake, shot at, and burned.
  The negro was sent up from Morgan County in 1901 on a charge of Robbery. Up to the time of yesterday's assault, he had been regarded as a faithful employee at the lumber camp, and served as water boy for the convicts. He was about 30 years old.
