The telegraph informed the world a
few days back that mob had taken
Marshall Price from the jail IN Denton,
Maryland. and huns him. lie had recent
lv been convicted of the murder OF
Salie +. Dean, the fourteon-yc1
daughter of Jacob Dean, a far'ner who
lives in the county of which Denton IS
fhe county seat. Price was sentenced TO
be hanged on July 5th, but his lawyers
had taken an appeal to the Court OF
Appeals. which does not meet until OctO-
Der. and the Governor had Granted him
a retrieve, staying his cN,cI.ion until
after the court should meet. The people
IN the country around did not under
stana what this roprieve meant, and
they locked for some sort Of hocus-pocus
proceedings that would cheat the gal
lows of it's victim. They accordingly
broke into the jail and took summary
vengeance on Price last Tuesday night
We take from the Baltimore sun the
following most narrowing account OF the
atrocious crime committed by this man:
