| the Newport Jail. the men were ordereu
| TO be taken to Maysville for safe-keephs.
When the time came for the removal
| of the ten prisoners TO the Chesapedho
| and Ohio Depot, to take the Tram loi
Maysville. there was such a menaclhs
crowd about the Jail that the Sheriff
called out the entire police force to pre-
serve order. 1t was with difficulty that
the men were taken to the two wagons
which conveyed them TO the depot. Inc
crowd followed closely after.
At the depot. and before the tram ar
rived, the situation grew more threat
ening. The crowd jeered the prisoners
and shouts of Don't let them get on
that train were heard. The police final
ly had to charge the yelling crowd to
prevent a rush at the prisoners. For
tunately. the train soon came, and the
men were safely embarked. The pri-
soners are aged from 10 to 80 years, and
are mostly without employment Two or
three are street-pedlers, and all are
known to the police as a gang going to-
gether. and being often drunk and dis
orderly. Their names are: Dad
Meiner George Greer, Huber Miller, Ed
ward Hending, Frank Bushmiller, Harry
Bushmiller. John shannon, Mat Meiner,
John Duhfosse, and William Schorle.
The one last arrested. who is still in
Jail awaiting Identification is William
Croxton. He will be brought before Mrs.
Gleason tonight. The other ten were
promptly recognized by Mrs. Gleason in
the crowded courtroom. The men eXhi-
bited the most reckless bravado, one or
two being drunk while in court.
THE FIENDS IN JAIL.
NEWPORT, KY, October 7.-Oficial
advices received by wire from Maysville,
KY, late tonight are to the effect that
the ten identified assailants of Mrs.
Gleason arrived there safely and were
securely jailed. The Sheriff of Camp
bell county, with deputies and several
Newport policemen, are at Maysville.
There are no visible symptoms of dam
gerous excitement in Maysville tonight.
William Croxton, who was detained at
Newport, was identified by Mrs. Gleason
to night as one of her assailants. He
is in Newport jail, but will be taken to
Maysville tomorrow.
The dangerous excitement has subsidized
in Newport for the present, at least.
