PEONAGE CHARGES
MURDERS OF NEGROES DESCRIBED.
Vancouver, April 6.
At Covington, in Georgia, Clyde Manning, a negro, testifying at the Williams trial, told gruesome details of how three negroes wero murdered a week after the Government agents questioned them regarding the alleged peonage existing on the Williamsea' estate. Manning swore that at Williams’ orders he and anftother negro tied two men together with heavy chains. The victims begged for mercy, and Williams said: "Throw them into the river.” Manning and his helper then threw them over a bridge. Later, the negro who helped Manning himself was weighed with chains, and drowned, to prevent him talking.—Aus.-N.ZZ Cable Assn.
