A Very Short Trial.
The grand jury was impanelled and
Mitchell was indicted for criminal as
sault. Then the crowd was thrown off
the trail by bringing Mitchell into court
in soldiers uniform. Mitchell was
scared, pleaded guilty and was sell
fenced to the limit of 20 years. The
trial lasted only few moments and
Mitchell wanted to get to the peniten-
tiary quick, but when the carriage drove
up to the Jail, the crowd rushed in to
get Mitchell and lynch him. Another
crowd surrounded the depot. The sher-
if remained fortified i'll Jail with his
prisoner while the militia patrolled
about the ground. The crowds would
not disperse and at 2:2O a. m, they
broke through the lines OF soldiers and
Were about entering the Jail when the
soldiers opened fire.
Harry Bell of this city was shot
through the head and killed instantly.
A young man named Higgins was shot
through the body and killed instantly.
Dennis Grancey of Urbana was shot in
the right foot. DR.. Charles Thompson
of North Lewisburg received a slight
wound on the forehead; Wesley Bowen

court house. Angry citizens wEo Were

The excitement was growing so tha
another clash between troops and citi

pany to return to the depot. The orde
was obeyed. No sooner did the crowt
perceive this apparent retreat by thu
soldiers than their fierce demand for th'
blood Of Mitchell grew stronger. Al
immediate attack was made successful,
upon the Jail. Mitchell was i'll mo

next minute he was hanging from tn
nearest tree. Hundreds of women Were
present and witnessed the final scene o
the mob's fury.
