PEONAGE TRIAL.
GRUESOME DETAILS. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. New York, April 6. Clyde Manning, a negro, giving evidence at the trial of Williams at Coyiiigton, Georgia, told gruesome details of how three negroes were murdered a Week after Government agents had questioned them regarding the alleged peonage existing on Williams’ estate. • Manning swore that at Williams’ orders he and another negro tied two men together with heavy chains, the victims begging for mercy. Williams said “throw them into the river.” Manning and his helper then threw them over the bridge. Later the negro who helped Manning was himself weighted with chains and drowned to prevent him from talking.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
