and reached the ceiling, height of seven
or eight feet. 1t is not thought that more
than one blow took effect but that blow
did terrible execution. The back skull was
crushed in and broken into hundred
fragments of it were driven 10 a
depth of two inches into the brain, and
other fragments were drawn out with the
axe, and dropped upon the bedding. We
have rarely, indeed, looked upon more
APPALLING, sICKENING SIGHT
than that which was left in the "IIole.in-thc
WALL on Sunday last, as the result Of
Charley Glass murderous work.
The contamination of this most
damning and heliish deed, occu-
pied less than minutes time.
Dropping the axe in the room where
he had used it, Glass descended the stairs,
and meeting Ruth Brown and one Ellen
McKearney, shook them both by the hands
and telling them they would never see him
any more, he passed on Ellen McKcarncy,
hurrying up stairs and entering the room
in which she had left Newman lying, saw
the body, and rushing out of the house
again. gave the alarm. Glass continued his
way up the sidewalk u short distance, left
the line Of the street, and passing out into
the commons turned around and shaped his
course down town. Just what his purpose
was, is not known; but news of the murder
spread so rapidly that before he had
reached a point two hundred yards distant
from tn, scene of his bloody work, a crowd
of thirty or forty coored men and a number
of whites were in close pursuit. The cry
was raiied to
LYNCH THE MURDERER.'
and til. crowd swelling rapidly, and the
exaspaation Of the blacks increasing, it
looked very much as il the bloody-handed
monster would be made to suffer the
penaty of his crime, without the intervcn-
ton q Judge or jury. The cry OF chang
him had grown furious, when Patsy Lally
reached the ground, and Glass, fearing the
growing fury of the crowd, placed himself
undT Lally's protection. Lally. soon com
pretending the situation, concluded to
reso't to little strategy, as well to keep
the nfuriated blacks from
TEARING THE MURDERER TO PIECES,
as to inviegle him to the court house, where
he Gould turn him over to the jailcr. In
pursuance of this idea, and to keep his man
out of the hands Of the bowling mob,
LalS drew his revolver, declared that Glass
had surrendered himself into his care, and
he would then and there
SHOOT THE MAN FULL OF HOLES
who touched him. This threat had the eff
fect of keeping the crowd at bay, and Glass
needed but little assurance that if he didn't
stick close by him, Lally, that the negroes
would certainly
HANG AND QUARTER HIM,
as they had threatened to do. In this way,
and by satisfying his prisoner that once in
the hands of the Sheriff the mob could not
modest him, Lally succeeded in getting his
charge into the custody of Sheriff Hodges
who will see to it that, whenever the proper
parties want him. he will be forthcoming.
For the part Lally played in the trightfnl
drama, he deserves much credit. But for
his GOODNESS, strategy and bravery the dam
aging story of
''HASGED BY A ROWLING MOB"
would have been added to the story Of the
murder and to the scores of other stories
that have served to give to our city an ugly
name.
