The herald., 1894-10-18

the fury against Colby, and Governor
Mckinley waa appealed to for additional
assistance, and troops from Columbus
were sent this morning, with Colonel
Colt in command.
The mob surrounded the Jail and court
house, attempting to take Dolby from
the officers. when he was removed from
the Jail to the court house for trial, but
they were kept at bay by the use OF
bayonets and dubbed guns.
Henry Kirk. brother-in-law OF the
assaulted woman, was thrown down
the sters OF the court house and badly
bruised. Another man was bayoneted
through the finger, while bayonet
was thrust through the clothing OF an
other man.
Deputies with drawn revolvers guard
ed their prisoners in the court room.
Dolby cried like baby and kept look
ing around for help. Soldiers were
marched in to keep the crowd quiet.
After the sentence the prisoner was
taken to the grand jury room. A mob
gathered about the court house and 1t
was impossible to get the prisoner
through to taks him to the train. The
officers were powerless to get Dolby from
the court house to the Jail or to the
train, and Sheriff Cook wired the gov
ernor 10 send more troops.
QUIET RESTORED.
At midnight the court house yard was
cleared, but the angry mob remained in
the square. still uttering threats.
At a. m. the town is quiet, and there
are no indications OF further trouble.
Additional troops will arrive from Gin
cinnati and Columbus at 2 O'Clock.
Dolby ia still at the court house strongly
guarded.
DoLBY's NIGHT OF TERROR.
The prisoner, Dolby, spent night Of
horror in the jail last night. He was
brought from Delaware at 5:40 yester-
day evening. TIE appearance OF the
mob outside of the jail weakened Dolby
of his brayado and he hurried into the
Jail with evident relief. There he
passed sleepless night, covering upon
the floor of his cell, listening to
the angry mutterings of the mob
outside, which swelled ominously
in volume. as from every village and
hamlet the rising citizenH poured in TO
take vengeance on the tiend. When the
other prisoners discovered Dolby was in
the Jail. they joined the crowd in curs-
ing and hooting him and would have
done him personal injury il they had
been able to reach him.
They're coming to get you, Dolby. "
shouted one, and the corridors OF the
Jail resounded with the laughter OF the
prisoners.
They're at the door, Dolby; one OF
them has rope"
All through the night the prisoners
kept jeering the terrified Dolby, who
covered in the darkest corner OF his cell,
moaning piteously. When morning
dawned and the guards came to look al
Dolby, they found that in his abjeci
fright he had covered the door of his
cell with a sheet TO shut out the sonnds
from without, and lay shivering on the
floor. When taken into the court house
he was go weak with fear that he scarce
ly could stand without support. He sat
before the grand jury, CHASTITY picture,
his eyes rolling, his form convused with
sudden chills, muttering to himself like
one bereft OF reason.
THE MoB's ATTACK.
CINcINNATI. Oct. 17.-A special to the
court house. says that after the negro
Dolby received his sentence. today,
Elmer Boyd, con OF the outraged
woman, addressed the crowd from the
court house steps. begging it to disperse,
"because." he said, Il do not want any
valuable lives sacrificed in an attempt
to destroy worthless life."
The mob hooted him and he went
away.
The special says Colonel Colt warned
the mob ii it broke the doors of the jail
the soldiers would Ere. When the door
was broken and the soldiers fired, Bome
one shouted: "They are firing blank
cartridges"
1t was some time before the mob real-
lied that deadly bullets were coming,
and when they did they fed in all direc-
tions.
