frightened. To the reporter he stated
that he was so scared that he forgot to
get cold.
Just as the party drove into Broughton
street in the suburbs of the city, two men
rode up, one ON each side of the equip
age, and Shufus says that he felt sure
his time had come, and all along the road
he imagined he could hear pursuing
horse feet and urged the driver on. One
of the wheels passed over limb conceal
ed in the snow, and it flew up against
Shutus, who chung to the officer in a
frenzy of apprehension, and it is safe to
say that he crossed the threshold of the
prison and heard the door closed securely
behind him with more real delight than
at the arrival at the end of any prior
journey he ever made.
He protests his innocence, and asserts
he can prove an alibi by proving he was
in Sugar Bottom resort in Denison at
the hour the offense is alleged to have
been made, but admits that he was sure
he was going to be lynched. Bill Cole
man, who was arrested and brought to
Sherman also, says that he came from
Gainesville to Denison and went from
Denison to Denton with Shufus, but he
was not with him the day of the offense,
and his meeting with him was accidental.
Coleman was also visibly frightened and
related about the same experience as
Shufus. Shufus claims he was a porter
in n saloon il Gainesville for quite
awhile. Coleman says he formerly lived
in Fort Worth. and was in the employ
OF the Fort Worth Fuel company.
