Col UMBUs, Oct. 1S.-Jasper Dolby, the
negro, sentenced at Washington Court
house to twenty years Imprisonment for
criminal assault on Mrs. Mary C. BoyG,
an old white woman, was landed in the
penltentiary at o'clock this morning.
He was escorted by Sheriff Cook and
Deputy Busick. and was accompanied on
the train by troops. The prisoner was
taken from the train at Dennison avenue
and walked TO the prison. The military
remained in the cars ana were carried to
Union station. All the troops have left
Washington Courthouse.
A Columbus Dispatch reporter who
came with the train says that after mid
night things quieted down. The citizens
had nearly all gone home, yet NJ any per-
sons stood on neighboring corners until a
much later hour discussing the affair. as
may be readily imagined, in connection
with such terrible sensation as the killing
Of two men and the wounding of eleven
others by the militia.
The military at $3.50 A. NJ. numbered less
than 100 men, against hundreds of men
crowded into or about the courthouse.
This small band kept up its determined
front for twelve or fifteen hours FINALLY,
and two companies of the Fourteenth
from Columbus arrived at about 8 80 A. NJ
a square was formed by the men of the
Fourteenth and, escorted by the First, the
line of march for the cars was taken up,
the negro being in the center of The
square.
The prisoner was in the courthouse
about twelve bours, the officers not daring
to attempt to return him to jail after SEN
tence had been passed.
just before the troops left the death of
g. w. johnson, or Mac johnson, was
announced, making three dead. He lived
at Kyles, Butler County, Ohio.
Frank Niederhouse. aged 20, shot in leg
and suffering amputatioD, cannot survive.
He was the only prominent citizen injured.
Theodore zimmerman, aged %, at last
accounts, is still in a critical condition.
fBe BefeiafaTcements called for by Sheriff
Cook at 4 P. NJ. yesterday did not arrive
until $50 this morning, while the shooting
OF the citizens occurred at p NJ. Itis
only thrty-nine miles to Washington
Courthouse, and it is claimed that greater
promptness on the part of somebody
might have saved the loss of life.
The prisoner stated to the prison officials
that he Is not guilty, but entered q plea of
guilty because he had been Informed he
was to be mobbed. He was clearly identi
fed by the victim.
Governor Mckinley being asked about
the affair said: "The act speaks for itself.
The troops were sent to act in aid of the
civil authorities. who were powerless to
quell mob that was seeking to overthrow
the law and its orderly administration"
The Governor says he will not leave Ohio
as long as there is a possibility of trouble.
He has Cancelled engagements at Louisville
and Nashville, and the meeting at New
Orleans will depend upon the develop
ments to-day.
WASHINGTON COURTHOUSE, Ohio, Oct.
18-This place is as quiet Tonight as
though rioting and bloodshed had never
been seen within its borders. The with
drawal of the last detachment of soldiers
acted like soothing potion upon the half
crszed people. William Sens died to-
night which increases the list of killed to
four Theodore Ammerman is dying, and
F. l.. Nitterhouse can hardly survive until
morning
Little George Heating. whose injuries
were at first thought surely fatal, may re-
cover, but he will be horribly manned.
