BALDWIN SAYS
NO DANGER
Detective Declares That Mob Violence
Was Never Threatened, Nor Mil
itarY Needed in Botetourt.

MIR. w. G. Balwin, of the Baldwin De-
tectiVe Agency, of Roanoke was in the
city yesterday on his way TO Norfolk.
MI. Baldwin, in speaking of the recent
affair III Botetourt county, said that he
thought Paul Wallace, the negro who was
arrested Tuesday, could be convicted upon
c!rculnstantial evidence of assault upon
Misses L!nkenhoker and keister, if the
young ladies, after recovering, insisted that
an assault had been committed; still he
was of the opinion that no assault had
been committed, and that the young ladies

rock and the rag being found at the scene

the county," said Mr.. Baldwin, told ma
that he was positive that in passing that

Mr.. Baldwin mentioned many other facts
connected with the case, upon which he
based his belief that the young ladies
were injured in an accident.
me negro arrested will be given A fair
trial, ana no people are more anxious that
the case be carefully investigated than
the people OF Rotetourt county
Mr.. Baldwin said that at no time since
the unfortunate occurrence had there been
the slightest danger of lynching, or the
remotest probability of need for military
to protect any person who might be ar
rested in connection with the affair.
He said that on Tuesday he drove the
negro, Paul Wallace. whom he arrested. on
suspicion through the very section where
the young ladies We're hurt: that he left
the prisoner seated in his buggy for three
hours at Amsterdam. where he was un-
nlolested, and that he stopped with him
thirty minutes in front of the house of
Miss Keister, and that nowhere on the
way to Roanoke was cross word uttered
to him by any one.
He said. further. that he had received a
letter from the County Judge of Bote-
tourt, giving it as his opinion that the
prisoner would be as safe from mob yio-
Ience in the county jail at Fincastle as
he would be at Roanoke or Lynchburg.
''The people of Botetourt.'' said the De-
tective, tare as conservative and peace
