They went ‘through our pockets. I theught it | was all up with us then. “They lined us up two abreast, 48 men of us. I was No. 38. They let me go back to the car and get my grip. but one of them said, ‘You won't need that where you're going.’ and so I did not take it along. They marched us to Crenshaw Crossing. There was a whole lot of howling and yelling and everything and talk, \talk, talk. Up to Crenshaw Crossing they had treated us pretty fair, but after that we were abused all along the line. I heard they changed lead- ers there. “When we came to the power house, they drove us up over the rail- road track into the woods. Some- bedy shouted, ‘All men that ain't got guns stay out.’ Fifty feet from the barbed wire fence they lined us up single file and all men with guns were ordered to the right. In the first volley I was not hit. I got through the fence’and ran. As I ran I was hit twice, in the side and the hip. I reached the open road to Herrin. An automobile headed me fore- |off and I ran toto a house with a raised foundation. They followed me in there and asked the woman if she had seen me and she said she had not. They found me under the house and pointed a gun at me and made me come out and one of them hit me on the head with a gun. Roped With Five Men. “Another machine came up and they said they had five more men down by the high school. I was taken there. They searched me there and took my money, glasses and bank book. They roped us three and three and marched us into Herrin. At one place they made us get dowh on our hands and knees and crawl. Then we marched on. “Somebody said the Sheriff was coming and we turned off, but turned’ again and went to the cemetery. There I was shot-in the ankle and Stage of thei went down.
