LYNCHERS FOlLED BY THE LAW
A PLOT TO MAKE AWAY WITH A
NEGRO FRUSTRATED.

Chief of Police Burke Refuses 10
Turn Prisoner over 10 Missfs-
sippi officers without "a Requisi-
tion From the Governor of That
StRte-Gov. Oates May Refuse TO
Honor II Unless the Negroes safety
Is Assured.
Mobile Ala. July 9-On Tuesday last a
negro named Andrew Thomas. it is al
legged. criminally assaulted an old lady
named Vie. about three miles from Moss
Point, Miss. and left her on the roadside
more dead than alive. Posses were inn
mediately organized and started in pur-
suit OF the negro. and although they once
or twice came within sight of him, they
soon lost sight Of him in the dense swamps
I'm which he took refuge. The place where
the crime is alleged to have been com
mitted is in Jackson, Miss, and on Friday
last the law officers Of this county visited
this city and put themselves in communi-
cation with Chief Of Police Burke. 70
whom they gave a description Of the crimi-
nal, and then went back home. with the
assurance that If the negro should show
his head in the limits of Mobile he would
be arrested As Chief Burke has never
failed TO catch a criminal that has taken
refuge in Mobile since he has been in Of
fee. the Jackson county officers went
home feeling confident that they would
soon have the negro whom they had chased
so hotly.
Friday night the negro was arrested,
and although he gave his name as Hen
~ Adams, he was identified by several
parties who knew him as Andrew Thorn
as, the negro who was wanted. The
Jackson county authorities were notified,
and there was some surprise expressed
at their delay at coming to get the prls-
oner, but 1t was finally rumored in this
city that the negro would be lynched
the very minute that ne set foot on Mis-
sissippi soil.
On Sunday night Thomas confessed to
Chief Burke that he was the party want
ed, and that he had made an improper
proposal to the old lady. He denied the
charge of criminal assault. Yesterday
the Jackson count officials came to get
the prisoner, but in the meantime Chief
Burke had become convinced that there
was going to be q lynching sure II he
turned the prisoner over TO the officers
from Mississippi and he. therefore, an

sippi in tho shape of a requisition. The
officers were evidently disappointed, but
they returned home to Scranton and said
that they would secure the required re-
QUESTION.
Reports from Scranton are to the effect
that there were men on horseback along
side the railroad ready to carry the news
of the negros arrival TO a mob which was
in waiting to lynch him II he had shown
up on the train last night. IL is thought
here that Gov oates will not recognize
the requsition until he is given assur-
ance by the Mississippi authorities that
they will protect the negro and not allow
him to be lynched. The next step in the
case is being awaited here with consider
able excitement.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAvORERs.
The Vanguard of the Delegates
Pouring Into Boston.

Boston. July 9-What might be called the
spray thrown in advance Of the great
wave Of the Christian Endeavorers struck
Boston to-day, in the shape Of the de-
tached delegates who came in by tho
large trains. There were none of the big
delegations coming on special trains,
which viii make things lively tomorrow,
but all day long detached delegates were
dropping in on the regular trains.
Among the stragglers was party or
nearly 200 Nebraskans. who reached the
Union station this forenoon.
Most of the Endeavorers, however, cams
in singly or in groups Of two or three,
and they Kept the reception committee ON
the jump, for few of them knew anything
about the place they were TO so and none
of them were not In the least bashful about
asking questions.
Three hundred Michigan delegates
reached the Albany station shortly after
noon.
ON the Chicago special. which was due
al the Albany station at O'Clock, there
were about nfty delegates. chiefly from
Chicago and Utica.
The Chicago and Cincinnati express,
which arrived at 9:45 o'clock last evening,
brought more than fifty delegates from
Michigan and Pennsylvania. on the 1920
train from the west yesterday morning,
I'VE Idaho delegates arrived. and We're di-
rected TO the Clarendon street church,
which is to be their stated headquarters.
There was also small party from In
diana, but they went at once to Newton,
where they were entertained by friends.
Three Illinois delegates also came in on
this train.
AS the visitors enter the city they can
not fail TO be delighted at the beautiful
decorations of the railway stations. In
one or two cases these approach the SUI
perb; the national colors are intermin-
gled finely with the crimson and white,
the characteristic colors OF the Endeavor-
ers. on many Of the great buildings Of
the city, the homes of bust
ness thrift and enterprise, are
seen outward decorations. which
have never been surpassed in elabo-
rate arrangements, even upon important
political occasions or national holidays.
From roof to sidewalk. many of these
buildings are hung with the red and
the white, while notices and inscrp-
tions bid the visitors welcome. In the
windows of the shops throughout the
city the presence of the visitors is recog-
nized both in the decorations and the ar
rangement Of goods displayed for sale.
The decorative effect in these windows Is
exquisite in the extreme.

IRVINE AcqUITTED.
The Jury out Only Half an HOur-A
Review of the Case.


Lexington, Va, July 9.-The trial Of c.
w. Irvine was concluded to-day by the
jury bringing in a verdict of not guilty af-
ter an absence of half an hour in the jury

client
Capt. James Bumbardner OF Staunton
followed for the state and closed the argu-
ment with a most telling speech.
The trial attracted widespread interest
during its four days session, and the time
was consumed In examining many witt
nesses and eloquent arguments by counsel
for and against the accused. The jury
was a representative bodyN and had been
summoned from Rockingham county.
Commonwealths Attorney Robert Cat
lett gave notice to the court that he would
reserve his decision in regard to prosecut-
ing the case further until court met next
month. Mr. Irvine is under three similar
indictments.
The occasion of the trial was the loot
ing of the Bank Of Lexington by it's trusted
cashier, c. NJ. Figgatt, for Sl50,0OO He was
In partnership with c. w. Irvine, the well
known hotel man here, in real estate specu-
lations during the boom days. When the
trustees OF the Ddnk were examining the
banks assets the books were found to
show that the firm Of c. w. Irvine & Co.
had overdrawn its account TO the amount
Of $4,000. A special grand jury was sum
money and indictments found against
Cashier Fggatt, Bookkeeper Goodwin and
c. w. Irvine. Figgatt left for parts un-
known and Goodwin was tried under one
indictment and sentenced to four years
in the penitentiary. Irvine's trial was
postponed until the present term of court,
as the indictments were faulty, and he was
tried for felony and a verdict Of acquittal
rendered. Suit has been entered against
him to recover $4,000, the amount owed by
the firm to the defunct bank, as shown by
the books. The verdict was as was ex-

but the Judge made the sentences concur-
rent, 70 begin and end at the same time.
Later on the sentences in each case were
made cumulative, one to begin when the
other ended, for technical reasons. in or
der that the cases might be brought be-
fore the supreme court. AS the court only
wished to punish the men for the length
of time prescribed, he has all along intend
ed to make the sentences as originally i'm
posed. 1T is not my intention said he
this morning, ito have 1t said that

during the strike. My intention was to
punish them for contempt, and for that
thought six months for Debs and three
months for each OF the others were ample
