crowd brought rope into the court
room for the purpose of lynching Stogall The
crowd was kept quiet until after the trial, when
the officers started with the prisoner for the jail
One of the crowd carried rope with loop in one
end, and as soon as the defendant stepped out of
the court house door, an effort was made to rope
him, but the rope man was caught, and the defend
ant seeing the intention, ran almost with light
ming speed to the JAIL begging for entrance which
was quickly given by an officer who CHANGED to be
there The officers turned upon the crowd, bran
dishing their pistols in the faces of the mob,
threatening to kill tho first man who pursued,
the prisoner The officers continued to back, with
their pistols in hand until they had reached the
door of the Jail. and there stood, pistols in hand,
defying the crowd to take them away. The state 8
attorney says that he has investigated the mater,
and thiAks he can establish good case against
defendant for living in adultery with his daughter
Mollie for five years, and that there is no doubt
but what the prisoner is the father Of the infant he
has murdered,
