FEARED BEING LYYcHED.
The anxiety of the crowd for the
prisoners was alarming, and the robbers
were 50 terrified that they could hardly
walk. Several of tho crowd persisted IN
yelling: Lynch them; shoot EN- as they

Others, and escorted to the hotel, where

While Richmond's guardians were in
Farmville they were called upon TO make
summary investigation of very novel
case. A train-hand Of the Norfolk and
Western railroad, whose head it is sup
posed had been turned during the furry of
excitement which prevailed, reported to
the police authorities there that three
robbers had attacked his train near Lynch
burg for the purpose of robbing passen-
gers of money and valuables and that he
had fired and killed one. He SAID he shot
at the Others while they were running off.
but did not know whether his aim was
effective or not IN their cases.
Messrs. Williams, Redford. and Sutton
investigated the matter, and as they could
