ycstigation OF the Paxton incendary affair
shows beyond doubt that the seven
negroes under arrest were, 10y the careless
ness Of the constable or guard, allowed to
escape on Sunday night An impression
prevailed yesterday that summary ven-
gcancc had been taken upon them, there
being no moral doubt ns 10 their guilt.
Members of the Paxton iamilyin Green
willie today emphatically deny this, Us does
State Senator ]. q. Pascy, Of lIolandalc.
The prisoners had been arrested
on the clear statement OF one e
them, named Fox, which was absolutely
in accord with their completely in the irs.
The facts ~ tclegraphed last night arc
corrobomicd, except ~ TO the coffee,
which, while generally believed, did not
form part Of the confession OF the negro
Fox. The fire was unQaestionably started
by applying kerosene oil 10 the iirewood
box in the kitchen at 3o'clock am. on
December 10. Tho inquiry rs regards tho
seven prisoners was in the hands OF S. b.
Brccm, magistrate OF the Fourth District,
Washington County. Despite the hcnd.
ish nature Of the crime commit
ted and the natural feeling of resentment,
felt by the whole section, there was
stern resolve 10, under no circumstances,
40 beyond the law until further and cou-
elusive testimony WAS forthcoming. IL
was decided to incarcrratc the five men and
two women in secure house near tho
Arcola depot aud have them guarded
day and night. Whether or not II would
have been possible 10 shield the wrc,chcs
from popular fury had the whole story
been universally known II Is hard TO say.
Extreme caution aud dclbcration were
observed from the GSt, which lei to the
arrest. The steps Of the inccndiary wero
followed with the utmost secrecy Only
a few prominent reliable persons were NC
quainicd with the circumstance. There
was an earnest desire TO avoid any out
break OF risk Of rncc trouble, and, as far M
possible. save this section from unpleasant
notoriciy. Now that the prisoners havc
escaped, II IL generally believed they have
He'd beyond reach and apparently no or
gnnizcd effort is being made TO rccapturc
them. Col. A. J. Paxton is III at Living
ton station, the residence Of his son, and
could not be seen today.
