| down the prison doors, and secured their
| victim. At 9 O'Clock they moved down
| Bonville street with Graham in their midst.

fancied that the lynchers would take Ora
ham TO Mallory farm, there hang him and
throw his body into the we'll, where his
murdered wife's decsying corpse was
| found, but the leaders of the avengers had
other plans. They started in the direction
| OF Mallory place as a ruse for their course.
