Killed for a Penny

Conyers, Ga., Dec. 21 – Two negro boys – Tom Carr and Aaron Zachery – were 
pitching coppers at a mark.  Tom beat Aaron, who refused to give up the penny.  
After a few words Tom raised a shotgun and fired at Aaron, killing him 
instantly.  Tom was arrested by the sheriff and placed in jail.  Threats of 
lynching are rife among the Negroes
