NO DANGER OF LYNCHING.
The Montgomery Assault Case Prob
nbIy All Sensational.

CHRISTIANSBURG. VA, August 3d.
Especial 1.-The published reports OF
criminal assault by Garfield Taylor (col-
ored) on a white woman named Maxey,
near Eueston, are altogether sensational
There is no excitement. and at no time
has there been any danger OF lynching.
There are very grave doubts whether
any offence has been committed. On last
Friday the Maxey woman made complaint
before John w. Sumpter, Justice, that
she had been assaulted the Saturday "one
week" before. Taylor was arrested, and
on the oath of the woman he was sent
on for indictment The officer started
with him Friday evening, and the train
was prevented from reaching here on ac-
count of a freight wreck until about IL
o'clock at night. Several gentlemen
from this place were on the
strain. and did not know the prisoner
was aboard. He was put In jail Friday
night and nothing was known about the
affair until Sunday morning. when news
paper accounts saying lynching was
threatened were read with great sur
prise. Persons from the neighborhood
state that they are not AT all satisfied
that an offence Of the kind charged has
been committed.
