BLOOMINGTON, Ills, May 25 The Pan.
tagraph special from Danville, Ills, says:
A mob of farmers at midnight attacked
the Vermillion county jail to secure John
Halls, Jr, ana William Royce, who raped
Miss Laura Barnett Thursday night.
Sheriff Thompson denied admission and
used it as a battering ram. After re-
peated efforts to break down the outer
Jail door with the telephone pole, which
produced little or no effect, the crowd
momentarily desistcd In its efforts. Ed
McCuskcr stood on the Jail steps and ad.
dressed tho mob, begging it to desist.
He was laughed down. Sheriff Thomp-
son, his wife and Deputy Sheriff Sloan
also bcseeched the mob to dispersc. +. v.
Barnett, the father of the injured girl,
said to Mrs. Thompson: Madam, you
never had a daughter outraged. and her
blood demands vengeance" His reply
was wildly appiaudcd.
q, Railway T.e DOES tho Work.
BY this time o railroad tie was secured
and with three blows the outer door was
battered in, the bcsiegers throngcd il and
commenced work on the inner door. At
1870 they were pounding away on the in
ner door and searching the garret. Tne
mob was nearly all farmers from the
southern part of the county where Miss
Barnett lives. The crowd gathered at
livery barn within a block of the Jail
and marched in a body to the Jail. The pc
lice ana peace officers were unable to con.
troll the mob. The police at . o clock took
Judge Bookwaltcr, the circuit judge, to
jail. He made an earnest and eloquent
plea to let the Law take its course and not
bring disgrace on Vermilion county by
the first lynching in its history
Said Aitgeld Would Pardon Them.
He assured the men that Halls and
Royce would receive n severe punishment
If found guilty; that the trial jury would
do its duty. His first words produced a
telling effect, but the leaders. who were
the most prominent men in the county,
replied: Yes, we know the jury will
convict and g.vetlls,n a severe sentence,
but Governor AlfsAa wiA pardon them
out He recently p'kdoned three srapisss
you sent up from Champa6 county for
twenty years, and he will pAion these
men. II any other man thaEAltgeld was
governor we would not lynch these men,
but We are determined he will never have
a, chance to. turn them loose!" With
tlrNe words,they again commenced work.
both Men Strung Up.
A little latsr the mob secured their two
victims an,l fook them to a bridge in the
east end Of town, where they were hanged
umid wild yells.
