broken into and heavy spike hammer
taken therefrom by the mob. As they
gathered around the jail the prisoners set
up fearful howl, evidently understanding
| the meaning of the noise. The crowd
rushed in at the lower door of the jailer's
residence, making Constable Ollie and the
deputy sheriff prisoners, while others met
Mr.. Painter on the stairs, covered him
with pistols and asked him to deliver the
keys of the Jail. He said that

others broke down the jail door, when
