A THIRD NEGRO LYNCHED. Huntsville, Ala., May 14. A third Lnegro is reported to have been lynched near Jeff, Ala., Wednesday night. He was implicated in the wholesale poisoning of the Kelly family. The latest victim of mob violence is Jim Nance, alias Williams, a discharged negro laborer, who is thought to have instigated the poisoning by the girls in order to wreak vengeance upon the Kellys. The coroner's jury yesterday returned a verdict in the case of the two lynched girls of death at the hands of unknown parties.
