Chester, who was confined In the county
jail charged with the murder of his 1l-year-
old niece. was carried to Madison by Sheriff
English at O'Clock this morning, to pre-
vent his being lynched. The citizens In the
nelghborhood where the crime was COM
mitted have been greatly excited ever since
the horrible decd came to light, and threats
were numerously made that he should be
hanged without recourse to judge or jury.
Last night about 10 o'clock Sheriff English
received Information from a prominent
citizen stating that an armed body of the
best men from the Liberty neighborhood
intended TO attack the jail and take
Chester out and hang him. The sheriff
quickly made preparations TO receive
the lynchers, The Greene Rifles and other
citizens were at once ordered out as a posse
and a guard thrown around the jail
Pickets were also placed ON all the roads
leading into Greensboro to give an alarm
at the approach or the mob. By O'Clock
however they had failed TO appear and
Sheriff English carried Chester to Madison.
A lynohinR was undoubtedly intended.

and from him they learned of the pre-
cautions taken by the sheriff and doubt
less were unwilling to incur the danger Of
bloodshed and without 1t they would never
have secured the prisoner. Chester Is con-
sidered one Of the most desperate char
acters IN the county. He has been terror
