crowbars used to force the bars and
bolts were unaccompanied by profan-
ity. The leaders were men whose rel
atives had been killed by the outlaws,

about thousand sympathizers. The
Mayor of Waverly did what he could,
it appears, to prevent mob violence,
and the Sheriff in charge of the pris-
oners refused to give up the keys. -.
