<h3> Fleeing from Judge Lynch <br /><br /></h3>
<div dir="auto"></div>
<div dir="auto"><strong>An Exodus of Negros from Hardin County— Lynching of Miles Petty the Alleged Cause</strong><br /><br /></div>
<div dir="auto"></div>
<div dir="auto">[Louisville Commercial]<br /><br /></div>
<div dir="auto"></div>
<div dir="auto">The colored people of Hardin county, Ky., will make a general exodus to Kansas. Two hundred of them have made arrangements to form a colony near Atchison, and others will locate further west in the same State. An advance party of twelve passed through the city yesterday. They dropped in at the St. Louis Air-line office, and while there attracted the attention of a reporter for the Commercial.<br /><br /></div>
<div dir="auto"></div>
<div dir="auto">“Hardin county’s too hot for the black man,” said one, as he mopped the perspiration off his brow with a calico handkerchief. “When they said Miles Petty outraged that Miss Vannort, and the mob took him from the jail and lynched him, without giving him a trial, we saw that n___ers wasn’t wanted, and they their necks wasn’t safe. We called a meeting and decided to go somewhere, and now we are bound for Kansas. There’s about 300 of us in all, and we are trying to get fixed up at our new homes in time to make a crop this year.” </div>
<div dir="auto"></div>
<div dir="auto"></div>
<div dir="auto"></div>
<div dir="auto">“How many colored men are there in Hardin county?”</div>
<div dir="auto"></div>
<div dir="auto"></div>
<div dir="auto"></div>
<div dir="auto">“About 600 now, but by the time we get moved there won’t be many left. You see we have only been working this up since the 9th of May, the night after Petty was lynched, and all our people don’t know about it yet.” </div>
<div dir="auto"></div>
<div dir="auto"></div>
<div dir="auto"></div>
<div dir="auto">“Are the people of Hardin county hostile to your race?”</div>
<div dir="auto"></div>
<div dir="auto"></div>
<div dir="auto"></div>
<div dir="auto">“I don’t know whether you call it hostile or not, but when they take to lynching n___ers for nothing it’s time to move.” </div>
<div dir="auto"></div>
<div dir="auto"></div>
<div dir="auto"></div>
<div dir="auto">Col. Sid. Gates, the Air-line ticket agent, said that it was true that some 200 or 300 negroes had made arrangements for transportation to Atchison, Kan., over his line. </div>

<h3>They Got Him,</h3>
<div dir="auto"><strong>After Being Thrice Baffled in Former Attempts, a Determined Mob at Last Treats Miles Petty to the <br /><br /></strong></div>
<div dir="auto"></div>
<div dir="auto"><strong>Death of the Dastard<br /><br /></strong></div>
<div dir="auto"></div>
<div dir="auto">Elizabethtown, May 9– Last night about 1 o’clock sixteen masked and armed men rode into town, hitched their horses in the court-house yard and proceeded to the jail. The Jailer, Mr. Jos. Sweets, hearing a voice at the jail, went to the door, when a crowd rushed toward him, discharging their firearms promiscuously, some of the balls breaking windows in the jail and others entering the Jailer’s house. In an instant the Jailer was seized by the collar, and pistols were thrust into his face with the command, “Give us the keys or Miles Petty.” Then a shot-gun was discharged which the Jailer thinks was aimed at him. The Jailer informed them that the keys were in the house; when they said “get them damned quick,” and dragged the Jailer in doors. Mrs. Sweets, the Jailer’s wife, handed them the keys. In five seconds they were unlocking the doors; but, being unable to unlock one of the inner doors, had the Jailer brought at the pistol’s mouth. But just as he arrived, they succeeded in opening the door, and, seizing on their victim, they put him on horseback and hurried him away. This morning Miles Petty’s body was found swinging to a limb by the side of the Nashville pike, about three-quarters of a mile from town, with a card pinned on his coat, on which was written:<br /><br /></div>
<div dir="auto"></div>
<div dir="auto"><strong>“Warning!</strong></div>
<div dir="auto"><strong>“Father’s Jury, May 9, 1:15 A.M.”</strong><br /><br /></div>
<div dir="auto"></div>
<div dir="auto">The news spread rapidly, and in a few minutes the road was filled with people going to the scene. The body was cut down by B.R. Young, the Coroner, and after the inquest was brought back here for burial.<br /><br /></div>
<div dir="auto"></div>
<div dir="auto">Miles Petty, some time ago, accomplished a nameless crime upon the person of Miss Cora Vannert, a young lady living in the south end of this county, and was arrested and brought here and placed in jail. He was to have been taken back to Sonoro [sic], where his examining trial was to be had, when the officers learned that a mob had been organized to hang him. They went down on the train alone, leaving the prisoner here. When the train arrived at Nolin it was boarded by a mob which began a search for the prisoner, but not find him, made their oaths to come to town for him. The officers returned and had the prisoner hurried off through the country to meet the train to Louisville, where the prisoner was sent for safe keeping. The mob came in town that night and followed the officers so close they were compelled ta [sic] take to the woods until hey [sic] reached Brandenburg, where they crossed over into Indiana and reached Louisville in safety.<br /><br /></div>
<div dir="auto"></div>
<div dir="auto">The grand jury returned an indictment against the negro, when he was brought out here, his case set for the trial and the prisoner returned to Louisville. He was brought back here secretly night before last for trial, and but few people here knew he was in jail at this place until this morning when they learned he had been hung. <br /><br /></div>
<div dir="auto"></div>
<div dir="auto">Many good citizens here denounce the conduct of the mob as an outrage, they he should be taken from jail and hanged just as the court was about to sit on his case. The jury had been summoned, and the trial was to have begun this morning, but at the time he was to have been put on the stand he was placed in his coffin, having been tried and executed by Judge Lynch. The excitement had about died out and a mob was little expected. The treatment of the Jailer last night was outrageous, and is so looked upon by all the good citizens of this place. </div>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"> Was Hanged By Mob</h3>
<p><strong>Harlan Buckles Had Been Given Life Sentence in Prison– Jury’s Verdict Did Not Please Them– Was Hanged Sunday Morning– Jailer Patterson Was at Depot Loading Stock When Mob Made Raid On His Bastile</strong></p>
<div class="wordads-ad-wrapper" style="display: inherit;">

</div>
<p>Elizabethtown, Ky., Nov. 17– Harlan Buckles, who was Saturday sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of Robert L. Reid, was hanged by a mob about 2 o’clock Sunday morning.</p>
<p>The mob consisted of from fifty to seventy-five men, some of whom are supposed to have come from Larue county. On account of their number they had little difficulty in getting Buckles from the jail.</p>
<p>He was taken to the court house yard and hanged to a tree, after which the mob dispersed.</p>
<p>A coroner’s jury met Sunday afternoon and returned a verdict that the negro was hanged by unknown parties.</p>
<p>Dan Patterson, the jailer, was at the depot loading stock when the mob arrived.</p>
<p>Attorney Hewett Nall, who represented Buckles at both his first and second trial, feels very bitter toward the people of Hardin county.</p>
<p>“Reid was killed in a free-for-all fight,” said he, “and it was not even proved that Buckles shot him. In fact, the evidence showed that Reid was shot from the side, while Buckles was in front of him. The bullets which killed Reid were from a 32-caliber pistol, while Buckles’ pistol was a 38-caliber. It was but a case of manslaughter at the most, but in my opinion Buckles was not proved guilty and should have been given a fair trial.”</p>
