DoIbv the negro sentenced at Washing
ton q II. TO twenty years Imprisonment
for a criminal assault on most estl-
mable white woman, Mrs. Mary &.
Rovd. was landed Ia the penitentiary at
o'clock this morning. lie was escorted
here by Sheriff Cook and Deputy Bu-
sick, accompanied on the train oy the
Columbus companies OF the Ohio Ma
tional Guard. The prisoner was taken
from the train at Denniston avenue,
not coming into the Union station ana
walked TO the prison, on wall OF "nlch
is on the avenue. The military re-
NAMED in the ears and were carried 70
the Union station. All troops haVs ieIt
Washington G. ii.
A reporter who came up with the
train says that after midnight things a.
the Court House Quieted down very
much. The citizens had nearly all gone
home. Yet many persons stood on the
neighborlng corners until much later
hour, discussing the affair, as may
be readily imagined in connection
with such a terrible sensation as the
killing Of two men and the wounding OF
eleven others by the military. some OF
these people who remained ABOUT the
Court House were supposed 20 be In a
Mot to blow I'D the building Win oyns-
mite. There had been 80 much talS
about a possible occurrence OF thS'
kind, based upon what seemed to De re-
liable evidence, that the vigilance OF
the guard was rot relaxed.
The military, all told, until $3.50 3. N.
numbered less than 100 men. Agalns'
me surQIng hundreds OF men VINO
crowded into or about the Court house
this small band had kept up determ-
i6ed front for twelve or fifteen hours
Finally, when the First regiment IRON
Cincinnati and two companies from th'
Fourteenth regiment from Colum ou
arrived at about $3.50 a. m, square
vas formed by the men OF the -FOUR
taenth and escorted by the First, INT
line of march for the cars was taken up
N the negro being in the square de MAJ
been in the Court House about IL hours
} the officers not attempting TO return
him TO the jail after the sentence nat
been passed.
En- route 20 the cars nothing OF interes
occurred, except that 3 good many PEG
ME ware still on the streets. Beyond a.
occasional voice in the stiffness OF Ia
bonr nkterlDg threats and disapprovaI
the affalk closed In rather Wlerd way
Just before the troops left the deaf
OF O. W. Johnston, or "Mac" Johnston
rs he was called, was announced, max
ing three dead. He was shot In 10
stomach and, lived az Kyles, Butte
county. OhlOl The old man, Fran
Niederhouse, aged 20, shot In the 10

this kind. Theodore zimmerman age

SCI state that the soldiers had to be gath
cred irom their respective vocations o
homes The Columbus companies wer
held here 20 wait for a Marysville com
pany and left at II D. m. 1t is 30 mile
to Washington c. II. The train stopped
at Mt. Sterling, % miles from here q
PICK up a company.
The Cincinnati troops, according Il
the statement OF a railroad man, Weru
to arrive at Washington Court House b,
the same line but from the opposite
direction and were to be timed 90 as q
arrive simultaneously with the troops
from Columbus. Inquiry alone can de-
tsrmine the cause of delay In arrival
The criticism Is that a greater prompt
ness on the part OF somebody might
have saved the loss OF life.
Governor Mckinley, being asked
about the affair as to what he had tc
say, said: 1.-The act speak for ITSELF
Troops we're sent to act in aid OF the
civil authorities who were pOweress 90
queil a mob that was seeking to over
throw the law and its orderly administ
tratlon."
The governor was up all night IN 1
sleeping car and In direct cOmmunical
ton until $3.50 a. m. with bis adjutan 4
general and came through Washington
G. b. about six a. m, having left Cln.
Cnnati a. $3.50 a. M, the car having
STOOD in the Cincinnati station until
time for the departure OF the train,
The governor says he will not ealve
Ohio so long as there is possibility Of
trouble. lie mas formally withdraw lthe
troops. He has received a nUmbe r Of
kilograms TO the effect that his IS land
for law and its proper enfOrcemeLoyill
be heartily approved Of by all wise i5v-
ers Of State aud country"
The negro stated TO the penitentiarY
officials that be wasn't guilty, but had
entered plea Of guilty because he had
been Informed that he was TO DO mob
bed and that this was toe only way TO
escape with his life. he claimed nlver
20 have been arrested or charged with
the slightest iniraction Of law. Dr.
Ireton, in making the physical eXami-
nation, said DOlDy's legs trembled and
his heart auttsred as a result OF his
scare. The fact In this case is that he
was clearly identified by his victim,
