A. B. THOMAS, A FORMER PINE BLUFFIAN, sTABS F. J.
 PENN T0.DEATH,
The Deed Was Done Without Cause Thomas Spirited Away by the Sheriff to Prevent
 a Lynching,
Republic speeial.

Republic Special,
 WACO, TEX. December 12.-Anoth- CT murder was added to the record of this city today, one the brutality of which aroused much indignation and serious threats of lynching. F. J. Penn, proprietor of q tailoring es- tablishment, was stabbed to death by A. B. Thomas, a groeeryman. Thomas was passing the residence of Penn, when little pet dog of Penn's rushed out and parked at him. Thomas struck the dog yiciously with his cane Penn remarked that the action was unnecessary, as the dog was harmless. Thomas retOrt- ed that he would treat Penn the same way. Some more words passed. Thomas, becoming more and more belligerent, finally attacked Penn, knocking him down, then stabbing him repeatedly with a dirk, inhIeting a number of wounds, any one of which would have been fatal. Penn lived but a few moments. While Thomas held Penn on the ground and was engaged in stabbing him a lad rushed up and struck Thomas on the head with q board When the murderer concluded that his deadly work was done. be went to his home q short distance away, procured shotgun and came back vowing to kill the boy. The latter, however, disappeared. Thomas was arrested, and when the news of the tragedy became known, intense feeling was aroused. The sons of the murdered man were given numerous assurances of aid in any attempt to visit sum mary justice on the slayer. The ex- citement grew and the sheriff con eluded it would be wisdom toremOVe the prisoner as q measure of safety. Thomas was spirited from the jail about 5 o'clock. as it was feared an attack would be made on it tonight. He was taken two or three miles north, where arrangements had been made for the stopping of the north bound M. K & T. train rae sheriff and prisoner boarded this and in an hour Thomas was safely lodged in Hill county jail at Hirs5oro. The apparent utter lack of proyoeation for the murder and the numerous killings lately have aroused a wide spread feeling of indignation and a determination that they must cease, and in the opinion of many it was a wise move to take Thomas out of this county.
