While in jail at Frendburg awaiting trial a band of masked men broke into the prison, and lynched the supposed murderer. Tho facta as recited by the dying woman are well known to the authorities, and investigation of the cave referred to revealed the skeleton of a man.

Augusta, Ga., Oct 22.—The greatest social sensation ever known in Georgia has been developed by the death of William C. Derry, bookkeeper, of The Macon Telegraph. His family connections extend into every section of the state. His work as the founder of St James' Methodist Episcopal church, of tlii« oity; his twenty-flve years' service as superintendent of the most famous Sundayschool in the south, and liis niatiy charities all conspired to makd'.him beloved. Some whispers accompanied the announcement of his death, but they were not believed, and the church membei-s especially pleaded for the suppression of tho rumors. The Augusta News announced his death with the headlines, "A Good Man Qono Above nud a Hilar of St. James' Church Lifted up into Heaven." Following It was a laudat. ry article very fulsome in the light of subsequent developments. The Chronicle said: "As a quiet citizen and a professor of the religion of the meek and lowly Jesus, as husband, father or friend, William C. Derjry walked in and out before his fellow citizens a man without reproach. Having lived out eight years inore than the span allotted to ■ man, he has been gathered to his fathers From all this the sensation may be judged when it was ascertained that Derry died by his own hand. Entering tbe drug store of Dr. iHfcalls in Macon on Thursday evening, he asked for a two-ounce vial of laudanum, saying it was for his tyife. He asked if it was a potent article, and if it would kill a man. Dr. Ingalis told him it would kill half a dozen men. When Derry went home he sought his room, and as he did not come out soon members of his family entered and found him unconscious. He never recovered, and on Friday morning he died.
