CREWSE AND BALDWIN.
The Murderer and Iiapist Safely Lod-
ged in the Gainesville Jail-No
Attemnt at Mob Violence.

Attempt at Mob Violence,
Having heard so much concerning
the embittercd state of feelings in
Gainesville and Cooke county against
Baldwin the rapist, and knowing that
Sheriff Ware would arrive there Sat-
urday night with his prisoner, two
Ardmoreite representatives went
down TO MAKE personal observations.
On arriving there at O'Clock p. M,
they took in the various resorts and
found them exceedingly quiet, there
being less drinking than usual and no
talk that would indicate any inten-
ton of wreaking summary vengeance
Every body, without exception, con-
deInns the crime but are willing to
let the law take its course. There
were but few who believed the sheriff
would bring the culprit with him in
consequence of which only about 500
people assembled at the depot. When
the train pulled in they were doub1y
surprised for instead of one two des-
perate characters were hustled off,
rushed into carriage and driven to
the county Jail at break-neck speed,
they were Baldwin and Crewsc, the
latter the red.handed murderer OF
the Murrell family.
The only demonstration was
prompted by curiosity. AS
the train was pulling in
some one standing on the steps Of the
front coach called to the crowd that
they were on the rear platform OF
the sleeper. This caused . rush in
that direction. true to. the infOrma-
tion there they were. Sheriff Ware
stepped to the platform, winchester
in hand, and in q firm and determined
tonc of voice, told tho crowd tostand
back at their peril il they failed to
obey. The time consumed in getting
his men started to Jail did not exceed
one minute. The vehicle was follow
ed by the crowd but no demonstra-
tions Of violence were made. The crowd
was orderly sober and good natured.
Sheriff Ware is entitled to
much credit for the success with
which he has brought these deep
crime stained culprits to the bar,
where it is to be hoped justice viii be
meted out in full measure. The
enormity of their crimes and the
protection of society demand that
the laws must be avenged and strict
" enforced. The sheriff hns done his
duty now let the court, which con-
venes tomorrow in GainAsville, pro-
coed to complete all that remains to
be done.
