ABOUT TO LYNCH A NEGRO
Mob at Emporia, Va, Demand Murderer
From Sheriff.
The officer Has Asked for Troops
Gov. Tyler and Two Com
panies Going.


Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
RICHMOND, Va, March 23.-The town
of Emporia, in Greenv1lle county, forty
miles south Of Richmond, is seething with
excitement this morning over the capture
of Walter Cotton, the negro desperate who
yesterday shot and killed j. w. Saunders
and Joseph Welton, prominent citizens and
officers of that county. The negro is in
jail, and mob of five hundred men sur
round the jail, demanding that he be given
up to their vengeance. The mob is being
rapidly enlarged by new arrivals. The
officers are making a stubborn resistance,
hoping to keep the mob at bay until help
can be secured.
A telegram was sent to Gov. Tyler by the
sheriff of the county early this morning,
asking for troops. The governor has Or
dered two companies of the Richmond
Blues to the scene. A special train Is about
to start with them for fast run to EN-
poria, but little hope is felt, however, that
they will arrive in time. Gov. Tyler will
go with the troops, and has wired an en-
couraging message to the sheriff and a
warning to the people to obey the law.
Cotton was under indictment to hang at
Portsmouth for murder and escaped sew
eral weeks ago. Wednesday night he held
chamber and forced him to give UP his
watch, his pistol, his wife's jewelry and
$3.50 in money, and to prevent arrest fired
his pistol indiscriminately down the main
street Of the town. Many other burglaries
had occurred, and the county turned out
yesterday to hunt the burglars. When
Saunders and Welton approached a vacant
house where he and a white tramp Were
concealed he killed them both, but not un-
til he was shot through the hand. This
wound led to his Identification last night
ten miles from the scene Of the murder,
and, though large posses were hunting
for him In every direction, the officers sue
ceeded in getting him to the Jail in En-
poria-
Urgent messages are following each other
rapidly for troops, but much valuable time
has been lost in getting the men together.
The white man who was with Cotton is
also In the Jail, and it is feared they will
both be wrested from the officers and lynch
ed before the governor and the two COM
panies of troops can reach the scene.

LEADER OF "MAcABEBE scoursy
Lieut.. Nj. s. BatsOn, 4th Cavalry, Here
on Sick Leave.


Lieut. NJ. s. Batson, 4th Cavalry. who
achieved considerable distinction in the
Philippines during the active campaigns of
last summer and winter in command of the
redoubtable 'Macabebe Scouts" has ar
rived in this city on sick leave of absence.
and is at the Ebbitt.
He Is suffering from shattered foot, the
result of close pursuit of body of fleeing
Insurgents. Following their usual tactics.
the Fflipinos took to their heels upon the
appearance of the troops, but signaled their
flight by firing voIley at the advancing
enemy, with the result that Capt. Batson
received severe wound in the foot, which
has since incapacitated him for active field
duty. The employment of the native Maca-
bebes as American scouts was due to the
suggestion Of Capt. Batson. He Organized
company of about 800 of these hardy ma
ttves, and did excellent service with them
! as advance guards Of the troops which nen
etrated the northern businesses Of the in
surgents, and completely DESTROYED active
resistance to the American forces in that
section of Luzon. For long time Batson's
Macabebe scouts were attached to Gen. Ne -
Arthur's army, and demonstrated their fIt-
ness for military service, being well disci.
pinned, brave, hardy and obedient.
