Another Negro Lynched
HUNTSVILLE. Ala., May 13. The third negro is reported to have been lynched near Jett. Ala., last 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 was thought to have instigated the poisoning by the giris in order to wreak vengeance upon the Kellys. The coroner's jury today rendered a verdict in the case of the two lynched girls of death at the hands of known parties.
