-Fheian Afraid of Short.
NEW York, February 6.-Large
numbers of dynamiters were in at
tendance at the Tombs police court
to-day, to see the arraignment Of
Richard Short, who committed the as
saulJ on Capt. Phelen in Rossa's office.
Phelen was brought from the hospital
and moment or two later entered
the court room and took a position be-
fore Judge Patterson. Phelen was
pale and thin, his left arm hung in a
sling.
"Ye es, feel pretty weak" he said to
a reporter, "but l am mighty glad to
get out of doors once MORE"
While Pheian was making his state
ment about the assault, Short was led
into the room and placed at the bar,
looking much better than when COM
mitted to prison, four weeks ago.
"Do you see the man in court who
assaulted you?" inquired Justice Pat
terson of Phelan when the latter had
completed his statement.
"That is the man." he replied, point
ing al Snort, who stood directly be-
hind him.
81 shall hold you for examination:
Short is under $1,000 ball." said the
justice to the prisoner.
"Judge, 1 should like to ask for the
protection Of the police while re.
main in the city, said Phelan, with a
show of hesitancy. 81 do not feel
safe from the attacks of that man,
pointing TO Short.
81 am sorry 1 cannot give you a
body guard" replied the Justice, "but
1 cannot"
"If you will give me the privilege
of carrying weapons 1 can defend my
SELF" remarked the captain with some
pride.
Apply to the police; they will grant
you permission" A sergeant of the
police court squad determined that
Capt. Phelan should get home in safe
ty, so he sent officers as body-guard
to the captain and his wife. The ex
animation will take place tomorrow

Franklin, the county seat of Robert
son county, received tonight, says
that late last night a mob of 200 men
went to the Franklin Jail and de-
manded the keys from the jailor to
secure entrance to the jail and got
the boy Ben Hawkins, who murdered
the old white peddler, named Cleves,
about week ago, and who confessed
the crime when arrested at the time,
saying he secured $3.40 from the
body. The jailor refused the mob's
request. The mob, with a sledge
hammer, broke into the jail, secured
the prisoner and taking MIN q mile
from town hung him. The reason
for the lynching was that efforts were
being made to prove that the prisoner
was less than seventeen years of agt
and not subject to the capital punish
ment law.
