By EDWARD B B, SMITH Seripps-Howard Staff Writer MONROE, Ga. Aug. 15.—News came out of this prosperous cotton-and-corn center July 26 about the mass murder of four Negroes the previous afternoon at a lonely spot 14 miles east on the, banks of the Apalachee river, One of the two men victims had been in jail after stabbing the son of his white employer. The other Negro and their two wives, who were sisters, were innocent of crime. They just happened to be along and apparently were killed to seal their lips. Although rewards totaling $42,000 have been posted, no arrests have been made. State and federal of+ ficials indicate they dont’ expect to solve the case soon. There is an almost complete lack of clues. The Georgia bureau of investigation reached the scene of the lynching the next morning, and the next day the FBI moved in. It wanted to see if constitutional rights to a fair trial had been violated. Murder Scene Cleaned Up The lynching occurred late Thursday afternoon., Some time before Friday morning, someone had cleaned up the murder scene. | There were no automobile tracks, {no empty shotgun shells and no empty pistol or rifle cartridges on | the ground. | Coroner Tom Brown had picked {up the rope that had been used to

tie the hands of the two men victims and had taken it back to his farm. An FBI agent found it later. Mr. Brown had been using the rope to tie up some calves, Another handicap is the unwillingness ;of Walton county folk to co-operate. John Trost, FBI agent at Atlanta, who is in direct charge of the inquiry, said: “I've had several persons come in to offer information which might be helpful if they would only stand back of it. But invariably they add: ‘Now don't bring my name into this’.” People Are Clannish Most formidable barrier to solution is the little settlement of ‘Hestorville 10 miles south of here which probably holds the secret to the lynching. Few people ‘ there can read or write, and they are clannish. Each family has a few mules and a few Negro farm hands. Like most cotton farmers, they require complete obedience from their help and no “back-talk.’ Roger Malcolm, 29, and his wife Dorothy were Negro hands on farm of the Hestor family. On July 14, Dorothy came screaming toward the house, and Barney Hestor, eldest son of the family, ran to find out the trouble. Roger, “a little liquored up,” according to witnesses was chasing her, Mr, Hestor stopped him and Roger whipped out a knife and cut him severely. For days it was thought he might die, Roger was jailed. Hard on Hired Hands

relatives at the Harrison place. They prevailed on Mr. Harrison to bail Roger out of Jall and give him ajob 7. Mr. Harrison with Dorsey and his wife and Dorothy Malcolm, at noon on July 25 drove in to the courthouse. He told Deputy Sheriff Louis Howard he wanted to sign Roger Malcolm’s bond. The bond was fixed at $600. Mr. Harrison signed it, and the five started back. J It was 3:30 p. m. Two hours later the sheriff's office got a phone call from Mr. Harrison from a crossroads store about three miles from Apalachee river bridge, ‘saying that “a mob of men has shot my niggers.” . Well Rehearsed His car had been stopped at the narrow bridge, men piled from four cars, the two Negro men were hauled out, bound and led to a nearby thicket. ‘ One of the women cried for mercy, and called the name of one of the mob.
The leader said, “hold ‘everything,” and then ordered, “bring him {them bitches too.” Turning to Mr, Harrison, he said, “you know any of us?” Mr, Harrison said he didn't, One of the mob said, “we ought to shoot you, too.” Describing the scene later, Mr. Harrison said,
