ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION

ADMISSION, Ala, Oct. 9.-About 2:30
o'clock this afternoon an attempt was
made to assassinate w. II. Edmonds, the
editor OF the Hot-BlaSt, in his office. The
trouble grew out Of enmity aroused by the
Hot-Blast's war in favor of rigid enforce
ment of the prohi5 laws A week ago
four ex-polcemen who had been discharged
for inefficiency, waylaid Editor Edmonds
and one of them jumped on him and beat
him severely, Mr.. Edmonds making such
resistance as he could. An outrageouSly
false account of the affair was sent
to the Montgomery Dispatch, reflect
ing seriously upon Mr. Edmonds,
who replied through the Dispatch,
pronouncing the author of it a liar and
charging him with cowardice in sending
forth such a talsehood unsigned. 1t was
developed that the correspondent OF the
Dispatch was j. 5. Lawrence, justice of
the peace. This afternoon Lawrence, ac-
companied by VIII Lacy, entered the Hot
Blast office, in which at the time were Mr..
Edmunds, John Coppell, the mailing
clerk, and Mr. A Tripney, who had come
in on business. Lawrence called Mr.. Ed
munds outside, where some conversation
was had in reference to the communica-
ton, and Lawrence demanded
retraction of Edmunds' card
pronouncing him a liar. Mr..
Sdlu tucf6 WAS nothing 10
tract, when Lawrence advanced towards
him. Lacey inquired if Edmonds was
armed, to which negative reply was
made, when Lacey said, Neither is Law
renee" at the same time trying to get be-
hind Mr.. Edmonds, who then began to
back into his office. AS he partially
turned, fire was opened on him. He was
shot in the left arm, in the elbow and seri
ously wounded. Lacey attempted to shoot
again, but his pistol snapped, which
probably saved Mr.. Edmond's life. The
would-be assassin. then fired on Mr.. Cop
pell and Mr.. Tripney. The former was
shot through the neck and the latter re-
ceived two wounds in the head, both Sc
rious. The parties escaped but were sub
sequently captured and turned over to:the
sheriff on state warrants and taken to
Jacksonville, Ala.
The feeling in the city is intense, and
strong talk of lynching has been INDUCED
in. Never were the people more thoroughly
aroused. Mr.. Edmonds is doing well, and
it is hoped no serious results will follow
his wounds. The shooting Of Mr. Coppell
and Mr.. Tripney was malicious and IN
provoked. A mass meeting of citizens
will be held tomorrow, when a plan of &C
ton will be decided TO rid the city of the
assailants. Tonight the city is in a
tumult of excitement and indignation.
