SrPpORT HIM

received a long report from Eugene Marshall United
states Attorney for the Northern District Of Texas. In
regard TO the difficulty Of administering the Federal
laws in that community in consequence Of feeling of
hostility the part Of certain state officials toward
Federal officers According to the District Attorney,
the trouble arose from the steps taken by Federal
officers for the protection Of the fou Marowe brothers,
who were held a. Government witnesses IN several

exasperated at these men, he says. and attempted
wcak summary vengeance upon them. They
confined In the jail at Graham and
that building was REGARDED as secure,
it was thought best TO take them TO Q safer place
Guards provided and they started away from
Graham, but had not gone far when they attacked
by mob a fierce fight ensuing. Two Of the Marlowes
were killed AZ the first onslaught The other two
wresred weapons from their assailants, with which
they amputatcd the feet Of their dead brothers, to
whom they manaced, and then fed 10 a neighbor-
ing farmhouse, where they held the mob az bay
until assistance arrived. Three of the mob were
killed, and number wounded Among those
who have since been indicted for completely in this
attack on Government prisoners the District Attorney
says are two cOnstables, the sheriff deputy sheriff
the county attorney and son of the county Judge
In closing his report the District-Attorney says 1:
