Ordered From Car
Harrison stopped the car at
the entrance to the bridge, and
the armed men ordered the two
negro men from the car and pro
ceeded down a side road. Harri
son and the two negro women
were held at the automobile.
Then Harrison heard one of
the men in the armed band re
mark that one of the negro
women had recognized him, and
several of the men came back
and took the women from .ttia
car.
Harrison then heard shots.
After the shots, the mob dis
persed, and Harrison went back
two miles toward Monroe and
called Sheriff Gordon from a
country store.
The sheriff said he went to
the scene immediately and found
the bullet-riddled bodies in the
bushes along the side road about

car had been parked at the en

The sheriff quoted Harrison as
saying none of the men wore a
mask.
Sheriff Gordon said that
without identification of any
members of the armed band, he
had gone as far as he could with
his investigation. He said he had
called in the Georgia bureau of
investigation, a division of the
state police, and that the federal
bureau of investigation had
