MORE SHOTS EXCHANGED
Renewal of the Disturbances at the Alex
andria County Jail.
Growing Impression That the At
tempts to Break Into 1t Were
Not Meant Seriously.

Another unsuccessful attempt to forcibly
enter the Alexandria county Jail at Fort
Myer Heights. with the purpose of securing
William Dodson, the aged negro charged
with criminally asSauting Viola Elliott, as
published, resulted yesterday morning in a
serious disturbance around the Jail.
AS was the case Friday night, when the
first attempt was made, the crowd lacked
leader, and beyond firing toward the build
ing from time to time, no definite attack was
made which could possibly have resulted
in the capture of the Jail or its inmates.
1t was after midnight when the attention
of Jailer Nourse was attracted by some
fifty men, all armed, who emerged in small
squads from the woods near the jail AS
the parties approached the little building
they were hailed by William Nourse son of
the jailer. who warned them, gun in hand,
to advance no further. Several shots were
fired by the crowd. which then hastily
treated to the cover of the woods. Jailer
Nourse opened fire on the mob from the
secOnd-stOry window of the Jail.
For about two hours, at brief intervals.
shots were exchanged between besiegers
ana besleged, but no further advance upon
the building occurred during the night
Before the attack opened in earnest two
residents of Rosslyn, alleged to be in sym-
pathy with the mob secured an entrance
TO the Jail upon pretense of desiring in
formation, and. being recognized by Jailer
Nourse. Were detained under guard until
daylight.
Sincerity Doubted.
So disorganized have been the attempts to
break the Jail that serious doubts are ex-
pressed in some quarters as to the actual
sincerity and purpose of the mob The
failure of Sheriff w II. Palmer to rein
force the Jail authorities with deputies af-
ter the first outbreak is regarded as sug-
gestve of an inner knowledge of the stua-
ton by certain officials, all of whom, how
ever, refuse pointedly to discuss the facts
in the case.
Assistant Commonwealth Attorney c. C.
Carlin has stated that a special grand jury
Will be summoned in the DodsOn case and
an effort made to advance the case for trial
at the July term of the county court should
an indictment be returned against the pris-

As the trial of Officer ]. W. Gaines of

an arrangement will be reached whereby a
