MOVEMENTS Of THE MOB.
AS the meeting at Music hall adjourned
last night, the attention of the people was
attracted by a shout from a young man,
who cried out: TO the jail Come on,
follow me, and hang Berner. Although
there might have been no intention to
organize a mob, the cry was soon taken up
and spread rapidly. The crowd around
the Jail soon reached 10, people. There
seemed to be about two hundred men in
the lead who took the initiative in all
steps, but said little.
AS soon as it was learned in the jail
that a mob was outside, Sheriff Hawkins
called up Fire Marshal Bunker by tele-
phone and the riot alarm was sounded.
The sheriff and posse hen made every
preparation to repel the attack.
GATHERING RAN SECURED.
On the way to the Jail the mob secured
a long heavy scantling which they used as
a battering ram and began operations on
the north outside door and knocked a
hole large enough to admit a mans body
through which the mob crowded thick
and fast and about fifty others. Here
they were met by a detail of police and
the sheriff and forced back into the Jail
office. By this time the mob on the out
side had procured a long heavy board and
placing it in the iron railing in front OF
the jail pushed it through the window
into the second story window. With this
they broke out the entire sash and inside
shutters and scrambled. into the apart
ment of Tailor Brady. This successful
move encouraged the crowd who made a
rush for the south door leading to the
street from the second story which is here
level with the pavement. This soon gave
way and the mob went through in great
numbers.
THE MURDERERs DEMANDED.
The sheriff S force consisted of thirteen
men, and when the mob entered these
withdrew hastily into the Jail proper leav-
ing between them and the mob the heavy
grated iron door which separates the re-
ception room from the cell room. This is
at the foot of the stairway leading up tC
the cell room. The reception room was
jammed and the mob kept calling, "Give
us Berner," Give us Johnson and SC
on through the list of the murderers con.
fined in the jail. There seemed to be nc
leader, but finally a tall muscular negro
began to give orders and the mob quickly
obeyed. Space was cleared and the plank
used as abattering ram was brought t.
bear against the iron door.
DEFYING THE MOB.
Sheriff Hawkins and his men stood be
hind the door with drawn revolvers. The
sheriff said, calmly, that it meant dealt
to enter that door. The crowd wayered
moment and hesitated, then the colorec
leader gave the word Swing the plank
He was instantly obeyed and the gat,
trembled with the shock. A might,
shout went up and a second stroke from
the battering ram made the gate weak
The stair way was again in possession o
the sheriff forces and a struggle began
for the iron gate. The colored ring leade
was seized by Lieutenant Dunn, struck OIL
the head and dragged inside, then tn,
gate was closed, several others beinl
arrested about the same time. The bat
tering ram was broken in two and serve,
as a brace for the gate. The mob SCENE,
repulsed and the story went out, spread
ing through the outside of the crowd
only to infame them to more serious ef
forts. Efforts were redoubled at all tn
entrances and the southern gate to tn
jail yard was broken down.
MILITARY AID SOUGHT.
In the meantime Sheriff Hawkins sen
an order to Colonel Hunt, commander
the first regiment of militia, to report t
him in the jail with all the men possible
Only about forty men were on duty an
these went to the Jail, passing through tn
court house and tunnel already mentioned
The sheriff ordered that not more tina
one man should fire at a time and the
: only to frighten, but not to kill. III
men were uncomfortable and fired at I'll
: crowd, doing deadly work. Later th
. crowd broke into the Veteran armory an
Kittridge's gun store and got arms, b,
y by the time this was done the crowd hu
4 so thinned out that no further serious a
c tempt was made.
DISAPPOINTMENT ENCOUNTERED.
