nary trial of A. A. Steagal, of Clay county,
charged with living in adultery with his
daughter Mollie, who gave birth to an in
fsnt child few days ago, came off Tuesday
The evidence against Steagal tended to
show that be had lived in adultery with his
daughter for five years, that he was the
father of her babe, and that he killed the
child by breaking its neck 1t was also
shown that he had administered all the medi-
cine taken by his daughter, from which it
was inferred that he poisoned her Bail was
refused the prisoner During the trial the
crowd brought rope into the court room
for the purpose of lynching Steagal The
crowd was kept quiet until after the trial,
when the officers started with the prisopeI
for the jail. One Of the crowd carried a
rope with loop in one end, and as soon as
the defendant stepped out OF the court house
door ali effort was made to lynch him. but
the rope man was caught and defendant,
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. brandishing their pistols In
the faces of the mob threatened to kill the
first man who pursued tho prisoner The
officers continued to back with their pistols
until they had reached the door Of the jail,
and there stood, with pistol in hand, defy ing
the crowd to take them away. The states
attorney says he has Investigated the
matter, and thinks he can establish a good
case against the defendant for living with
his daughter Mcliie for i've years, and that
there Is no doubt but the prisoner is the
fath5r OF the infant he has murdered.
