Lynching Narrowly Averted
Springfield, S.C., Dec. 28- Following the killing of Tiney Chavis, a white man, by Stephen Clements, a negro, a lynching was narrowly averted here yesterday by the negro being rushed to the Barnwell jail.
Chavis went to the negro's house to collect a small debt when he was pushed out the door and shot to death in the yard.
Further serious trouble was averted at the preliminary trial when a mulatto by the name of Livingston, from New York, forced himself into the trial and began questioning the witnesses. He was roughly handled by the friends of Chavis, sustaining a severely bruised head and a broken arm.
