Traughber, Hopkinsville Kentuckian, August 17, 1894

Held Without Bail. 

At the examining trial held at Russellville Tuesday bail was refused Frederick P. Apgar, Wm. B. Proctor, Moses Cook, Robert Henderson and Thos. Mackey, who are charged with the murder of Edwin Traughber, who was taken from his home near Adairville, Sunday night, July 15, and lynched. The negro, Prince McGuire, who turned State’s evidence, was taken to Bowling Green Tuesday night for fear of a mob. The arrest of these prominent men, charged with such a crime, has created a sensation all over the county. Eminent counsel has been retained by both sides.
