turned home i'm the morning This
will certainly come out in day or 50,
rs he must have been seen by some
, one if he was not IN his room the whole
time.
Whether he was the murderer or
not it is also the proper thing to find
out who that white man was and get
his story of the night.
/ OVERHEARD.
Two colored men were standing at
the corner of Seventh and Ohio this
afternoon and one asked:
But why did he kill her."
Because the-fool didn't think"
1t NAV have been mere gossip and
it may have been spoken by conf
dante of Robinsons.
/ MASS MEETING.
OF course there has been rtlmors on
the street corners that there wO nd be
a lynching tonight but there II no
great fear. The people intend tn
wait until they are certain then act.
The city has been flooded with cir
culars calling for mass meeting at the
Court house tonight. 1t will be
largely attended and the citizens Of
Sedalia will take some steps towards
the protection of life in our city.
From Wednesdays Daily. Oct. 26.
Yesterday afternoon the evidence
about Robinson had become so con-
elusive that only one clue remained to
be found-the bundle which Robin
son took from Fields livery buggy.
Late in the afternoon search was
made for it in the manure pile ut
Mayor Stevens stable. After digging
down short distance it was found.
Ii contained black dress belonging
to the girl and her empty pocket book.
Ii was also quite certain that a s. bill
with which Robinson paid for the rig
belonged to the murdered girl.
TAKEN AWAY.
Fearing mob law the Officersdecided
to take Robinson from the city, and
gave out the report that he was in
Jefferson City, which is not exactly
true. AT midnight they hurried him
from the county Jail to the railroad
track and swung him on to No. I as it
passed. In few hours he was safe
within strong walls.
CoRoNER's INQUEST.
The coroner's inquest was in session
again TODAY, but allowed no one but
the jury and witnesses to be present.
Ii will not conclude its labors for
several days. 1t adjourned at noon
until 1 o'clock this evening. Every
thing is preternaturally quiet over the
riiy to-day. No one seems to know
about the case. vet every
body is interested in it. But with the
finding of the bundle containing the
murdered girls dress, public opinion
settled down upon Robinson as the
guilty man.
WHO WAS HE.
There vet remains to be found the
white man who was said to have been
'een with the girl about 80, if in
Iced she was seen with such person.
This person has kept remarkable
shady.
Another point If she was in the
&c cream parlor at $3.50 the whole
tory of the bloody buggy is knocked
n the head 1t was returned at $50
md if the girl was alive at that time
cuts no figure in the tragedy.
1t may he that Robinson knows who
he murderer is and was an accomplice
ven if not the murderer himself.
STAND By ROBINSON.
1t was good thing for Justice that
he accused was hurried out of town,
or when it became known that the
undle had been found, it is possible
hat mob might have gathered.
Mayor andAlrs. Stevens still stand
y their servant. He had been with
hem for fifteen years and had been
ru>ted in everything. While the
layor was absent he was entrusted
18th warrants and money as fully as
nv one could he. His employers
ever had a doubt of him. at the same
me his reputation for veracity among
le colored people was not good.
RUMOIsS AFIOAT.
Ii was extensively rumOred this
orning that Robinson, the negro, had
and had sent for Sheriff
NTH to come to him. Sheriff Smith
MED this, however, and stated that
Dbinson had given no satisfaction in
5 answers to the various questions
epOunded.
