A Lynching Party Foiled by the Jailoi
--The Prisoner Driven Throagh TO

Another Man Arrested,
hut Discharged, Etc.

DENIsoN, Oct. S.-lSpscial l-Great
excitement prevails here over the out
raging OF the two little girls, q report
OF which appeared in THIN HERALD
this morning. About 3 O'Clock this
morning five men went to to the city
jail, overpOwered the taller and
mounted the stairs To where the negro
Grimes, charged with the crime, was
confined. They presented their pls-
tolls and would probably have shot but
at that moment the Tailor pulled his
pistol and fired In the air to give the
alarm, which had the effect OF soaring
them of. While the mon were at the
JAIL, one OF them, O man named DOtson,
was arrested.
A white man, named Walton, who
works for Baker, the father of the in
jured children, was arrested Nv Con
stable Nixon this morning, as IL was
claimed that evidence existed, show
Ing him to be the author Of the outrage
instead of the negro, Grimes.
a thorough sitting of the alleged eyi.
dence against Walton convinced the
officers that he was not the guilty
man, and he WAS, therefore, turned
loose.
Further developments show that the
first outrage committed on the little
girls, took place about week ago, the
negro brlbiDg them to keep silent. The
crime was repeated several days later,
when the pain became 30 in.
tolereble that the children could
not longer conceal IL from
their mother and the denouement was
made. These additional facts being
known, have worked the people 40 To
still higher pitch Of excitement, and
talk of lynching became 30 loud that
the officers OF thela thought IL advisa-
BILE to remove the prisoner to the coun-
ty jail for safe keeping. Accordingly
this afternoon Deputy Constable Cor
don and Hackney put Grimes ina car
riage and started for Sherman with
him. No trouble occurred to prevent
their leaving town, and they doubtless
arrived safely at the Jail with their
charge.
