Fight on Officer May Give Court Lynchers List
Moultrie January 11. Taxpayers seeking removal of J O Stewart chief of Colquitt county police and foe of blind tigers will face a public hearing before county commissioners Friday. Stewart may defend himself with counsel present. Accusations tie him to the mob that burned John Henry Williams near Autreyville on the same day he was to be hanged for another murder. Petitioners plan witnesses. Stewart has not stated defense. Grand jury earlier investigated the lynching but found insufficient proof for indictments. The case draws a large crowd and raises questions about other possible participants.
