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 plat
form he fell headlong to the ground. 1t was
doubtless this accident that prevented the
crowd from recognizing him. The train boy
who was standing on the platform at the
time, says Berner walked around
the car and entered again from
the rear Meantime the wild mob
had discovered their mistake and were
even more Infatuated than before. Berner
walked abont two-thirds of the way through
the car, when one of the deputies who had
seen him jump from the train, cried: "There
he goes now, catch him. Immediately Ber
ner started on a run ard again jumped from
the train, which by this time had started to
pull out from the station. One Of the dep
uties ran after him, while the one who had
been mistaken for Berner was still held by
the crowd Joe Moses and the third deputy
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 afteI
thus Guiding the mob escaped to the fields.
The train boy brakeman and conductor veri-
fly 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 just 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 Loveland. The wild mob was
still yelling and searching for Berncr 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 tEc second
! section, and when it arrived the same frcn-
zied efforts were made to discover the object
of their search. In spite of TIE 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-
fore, and stated that the excitement was in
creasing
Col. Hunt telegraphcd the governor to be
in readiness, and lis eXcellency will remain
over Sunday, so as to call for more troops if
necessary. Col. Hunt made a reQuisition on
the adiutant general for 5000 rounds Of bal!
cartridges, and they were sent to Cincinnati
on the train. Passengers on the morning
and noon trains from Cincinnati state that
the most intense excitement exists all along
the way, large crowds being gathered at the
stations and threats made against the deputy
sheriffs, that they would suffer if they did not
succeed in their scouting about the county
to produce Berner or show that he had been
put out of the way.
