A man from Virginia was seriously
wounded but refused to give his name.
As the meeting at the music hall ad
people was attracted by short young
man who cried out, ITO the
Jail! come on! Follow me and
hang Berner." Although there might
have been an intention to organize meb
this was the first time it found vent in q
decided expression. The cry was soon
taken up and spread rapidly.
Columbus, Ohio, March 29-Trainmep
and passengers who arrived here after
midnight give the following account Of
the mobs at Loveland and Morrow, and
the effort to get Berner the murderer to
Columbus: Two deputies with Berner
drove from Cincinnati over to Lin.
vood and khero tool, &ho -.
commodation for Loveland. This
part of the journey was made
without accident. Joe Mosea was then
to go to the Little Miami depot and
quietly board the train for Columbus and
join the two deputies and Berner at
Loveland. When the Little Miami train
pulled into Loveland. Berner was placed
on the car next to the sleeper. but before
the train had come to full
stop two deputies sat near
him but did not have him fastened to
them. Joe Moses sat in the next car in
advance. As the train came to stop o
howllng mob of nearly three hundred
men made dash at the cars yelling
"there he is, catch him." Some Of the
men climbed up on the cars, but the
most of them broke for the car
in which Moses was seated.
One Of the deputies who had been de.
tailed to watch. Berner sprang from his
seat and started for the front end of the
car. The crowd thought it was Beruel
trying to escape, and pounced on him
and bore him to the ground. He was
choked, beaten and almost killed before
the mistake was discovered. BernsI
sprang from his seat, but in
attempting to jump from the platform
he fell headlong to the ground. It was
doubtless this accident that prevented
the crowd from recognizing him. A
train boy who was standing on the plat
form at the time says Berner walked
around the car and entered again from
the rear. In the meantime the wild
mob had discovered their mistake and
were even more infuriated than before.
