6rEELvILLE, Mo-, October 1.-Ever since
F.P. Wallace was brought here under Or
rest for the murder of the Logan family
there have been threats Of lynching a nd
ramors OF plans on foot for carrying the
threats into execution. At IL O'Clock last
night an
ORGANIZED BODY OF MEN
marched to the jail. The Sheriff refused to
admit them aud appealed to them to dis
pelse and let the law take its course in
nv xAace's case. His appeals and threats,
however, amounted to nought end with a
shout they rushed at the Jail, the gate oi
which gave way under the strain. A guard
was placed at the entrance and few select
men proceeded to Wallace cell and brought
him forth when they were met by cries from,
the mob of "hang him,
STRETCH nIM UP,
lynch him. More dead than alive Wallace
was led under tree in the Court House
yard and q rope was placed around his
neck, He was told that he had but few
moments to live and if he wanted to say
nything he had better hurry up. Wallace
then made O. statement strongly protest
ing his innocence, and claiming that Sam
Vough (colored) was the murderer of the
Logan family and had given him (Wallace)
$50 to keep the secret. At this the mob
hooted and yelled, and at the word the
rope was thrown over limb and
WALLACE was SUSPENDED
in mid-air. He was held there few min.
utes and let down again, the mob still
hoping he would confess. 1t was several
minutes before the half-dead man could
regain strength enough to talk, but when
he did his denial of the crime aud protesta,
tions of innocence were as firmly made az
before. The crowd by this time had greatly
increased and many calls for mercy were
heard. Col. A. J. Leavy, man greatly
respected in the town was called upon to
address them. He responded and advised
the mob to desist and allow the law to
take it's course. The sheriff aud several
Others followed in the came way. The mol
lost their vim and the prisoner was deliv
cred to the sheriff who replaced him in his
cell. The crowd then dispersed.
