and even some women, were arrested
with pistols for the avowed purpose Of
shooting Bissinger. He was guarded
BY the police all the way to the grave
and back, and, as further protection,
the coffin containing the little boys
body was placed in the carriage with
him. When the bodies had been low
cred into the graves part Of the crowd
hooted at Bissinger: and number Of
women tried to get at him. One shot
was fred at him without effect. He
was then instantly hustled into his car
risge and driven of. Another shot was
fred at bin while passing the gate, ana

talked of. The crowd of people at

fred Post, a prominent resident of New
burg, and president of the Highland
National Bank of Newburg, by firing a
pistol at him in the street. The bullet
grazed POSTS neck, and Gibson aimed
for second shot, but in his excitement
failed to cock the weapon. Post got
out of the way before Gibson could fire
agair, and the latter was secured and
committed without bail to await the
action of the grand jury. Gibson and
bis wife have not lived Oh good terms
lately, and she left him several times
for short periods, alleging harsh treat
ment by her husband. Gibson charges
that Post had something to do with his
wife's leaving him.
