for Columbus and join two deputies at love

into Loveland, Berner was placed in the cor
next to the sleeper before the train had
come to full stop Two IDENTITIES
sat near him, but did not have him fssfened
to them Joe Moses sat in the newt car in
advance. AS the train came to a ston .
bowling mob of nearly 300 men made dash
for the cars, yelling, 'sThere he is. catch
him,'' Some men were masked. while mart
of them were not. They climbed in ali tbe
cars. but most of them broke for the one in
which Moses was seated. One of the denn-
ties. who had been detailed to watch Rerner
sprang from his seat and started for the front
| end of the car. The crowd thought Berner
was trying to escape, and bouncing on him
bore him to the ground
He was choked and beaten
and almost killed before the mistake was dis
covered. Berner had sprung from his seat
but in attempting to jump from the Mat,
form he fell headlong to the ground. It was
doubtless this accident that prevented tba
crowd from recognizing him. The train bow
who was standing on the platform at the
time, says Berner walked around
the car and entered again from
the rear. Meantime the wild moh
had discovered their mistake and were
even more Infatuated than before. Bernor
walked abont two-thirds of the way throuob
the car, when one Of the deputies who had
seen him jump from the train, cried: ssrhere
he goes now, catch him." immediately Ber-
ner started on run and again Jumped from
the train, which by this time had started 70
pull out from the station. One of the den
uties ran after him, while the one who had
been mistaken for Berner was still held nv
the crowd. Joe Moses and the third deDutv
remained in the train. The train men do
not think that Berner was captured. They
believed that after jumping from the train
the second time he ran between the Little
Miami train and second train
which was standing on the track. and afte1
thus eluding the mob escaped to the fields.
The train boy, brakeman and conductor veri-
fy these statements. When the first section
of the train that had been attacked at
Loveland pulled into Morrow, another mob
was waiting to capture the prisoner The
mob was composed of $50 or 200 men. only
part Of whom were masked. Before the train
stopped they climbed on the engine into the
cars and on the steps of the engine. eager to
get possession of the murderer. Some of the
men attempted to force the engin-
eer to stop the train before
it got into town, in order that they could
swing Berner from bridge near by They
hunted through the passenger, baggage. and
sleeping cars, completing their search lust as
the train pulled away from town. Morrow is
fourteen miles northeast of Loveland. Moses
and his deputy got off here, and were so ex-
cited that they could hardly speak The
second section Of the Little Miami, which
started from Cincinnati about Is minutes af
ter the other, witnessed almost the same
scenes that had been enacted before
at Loyeland The wild mob was
still yelling and searching for Berner. MANY
men rushed upon the train, thinking that
perhaps an attempt would be made to SNUG
gle him through. As the train pulled out
cries were heard, saying that search would be
continued until daylight, when the fugitive
would be easily recognized. At Morrow the
mob was at the depot waiting for the second
section, and when it arrived the same fren-
zied efforts were made to discover the object
Of their search. In spite of the excitement
and attempts to delay and search the train,
both came in ON time. The passengers and
train men on the second section gave the
same thrilling accounts that were given be-
creasing.

n readiness, and his excellency will remain
over Sunday, so as to call for more troops if
necessary. Col. Hunt made q requisition on
he adiutant general for 5000 rounds of ball
cartridges. and they were sent to Cincinnati
