Negro Assaults Mrs. Farley

Negro Assaults Mrs. Farley
Mrs. Monroe Farley of Spalding County was alone in her room Wednesday night about 7:30 o-clock sewing on her machine, when a Negro slipped up behind her, grabbed her, by the shoulders and blew out the lamp. The Negro attempted to smother Mrs. Farley, but in this he was unsuccessful and she screamed for help. Mr. Hammond, her brother in law, was in the house, and securing his pistol ran into Mrs. Farley-s room to see what the trouble was. He reached the door jus tin time to hear the door close as the negro made his escape and no one in the house saw him sufficiently to recognize him.

(Jackson Argus - Butts County - Week of September 1, 1899)
