Geo. Miller, serious. A man from
Virginia was seriously wounded but
refused to give his name.
The mob kept calling. "give us
Berner, give us Johnson" and so on
through the list of murderers con-
fined IN the jail. There seemed to be
no leader. Finally tall, muscular
negro began to give orders and the
mob quickly 0beyed. A space was
cleared and plank and battering
ram were brOughL to bear against the
iron door. Behind the door stood
Sheriff Hawkins and his men with
drawn revOlvers. The sheriff said
calmly that it meant death to enter
that door. The crowd wavered a
moment and hesitated, then the
cclored leader gave the word, ''Swing
the plank" He Was instantly obeyed
and the gate trembled with the blow.
A mighty shout went up when the
second stroke from the batterlng ram
made the gate weaken perceptibly.
The third loosened it's bolts and it
flew open. Sheriff Hawkins had in
structed his men not to fire as he did
not wish to shed blood. Heattempted
to address the mob, but they few by
him up the winding iron stairway to
the cell. They sought Berner but
soon discovered that be was moved.
Then they went to Johns0n's cell. one
of the murderers of the Taylor fam
lily at Avondale. The Mortified pris-
0ner suffered more than death as
he looked on the determined
men outside. A powerful plank
was brought up to batter down the
door Of the cell. But the small space
prevented its use with effect. Be-
sides the deputy sheriffs caught hold
of the plank and prevented its being
used. Meantime Chief of Police
Reilly, hearing the men were in the
Jail entered through the court house
and through tunnel from it to the
interior of the Jail. With this COM
bined force the men. were put off the
corridors about the cells and the mob
seemed to be repulsed. Not a shot
was fired up to this time by the forces
within the Jail.
The first bioOdshed occurred near
the tunnel. The farther end was
guarded by officers Phil Num- and
Won Seggen. As the soldiers ap-
by threes with guns point
ed Officer Won Seggern threw up his
hands and shouted "For Gods sake
don't shoot here or you'll kill your
friends" Without taking the warn
ing the command Sire" was
given and a volley went rat
Ling through the tunnel. Officer
Num- fell pierced by four balls, and
Won Seggen was shot in the side and
head. Several of the militia were
shot by their own guns. This volley
had the effect to clear the jail, but for
,wO hours thereafter efforts were
made on the outside to destroy the
whole building. A barrel of coal oil
was poured down into the lower part
If the Jail and set on fire,
)ut the officers within managed
- extinguish it. The carpenters office
furnished some wood and that also
Was fired. but as the Jail is mainly
'tone and iron this effort was futile.
The crowd threw boulders and flied
pistols promlscuously at the windows
md the militia in the meantime fired
rom the windows at the crowd.
