As soon as the news Of the arrest and
confession became known, "A mob sur

ling they knocked at the door of the
prison. Lieutenant Smith and a squad
Of officers met them at the door, and
fred their revolvers in the air. for the
purpose of soaring the would-be lynch
ers This proved effective and the mob
retired. but the police succeeded in ar
resting three men. The station-house
suffered much, nearly every pane of
glass being broken.
At this point the officers, fearing
further trouble, had the fre-bells rung,
for the purpose of calling out the militia
to quell any further difficulty. At II
o'clock there were 300 men in front Of
the station-house, and by 1 o'clock this
number had increased to 800. Shortly
after this time another attempt was
made TO enter the station-house.
Sixteen men. armed with a heavy
piece OF timber and an axe, battered
down the front door. AS soon as they
reached the inside, the mob encountered
the police who for a time drove the
crowd back. The latter soon rallied,
however, and entered the building Nc
Coy was finally located and dragged out.
A rope was put around his neck, and he
was hung to a near by lamp-post, without
being given an opportunity to say any
thing.
The three men arrested were subse-
quently released.
