RAILROADED TO PRISON
SHENINLE, GUARDED BY
TROOPS, TAKEN INTO COURT,
Promptly Sentenced by the Judge and
itentiary-NO Effort to Mob Him.

CARROLLTON, H., March 1.-Guarded
by four companies of State militia to pro-
tect him from a mob determined on lynch
ing, Albert Shenkle, who, on Dec. % last,
criminally assaulted the sixteen-year-oli
daughter of Charles II. Giller. of Carrollton,
was early to-day taken from the county
Jail at Springfield, placed on a special Oh
cago &c Alton train. and brought to Car
rollton. Through streets lined with silent
spectators he was hurried to the court
house. An hour after the arrival of the
train Shenkle had pleaded guilty, been
promptly given an in~determinate sentence
by Judge owen Thompson, and was on his
way to the southern Illinois penitentiary
at Chester.
Although threats OF lynching had been
freely made by the citizens OF Carrollton.
and although the streets and grounds
around the jail and courthouse had been
practically patrolled by an armed mob de-
termined upon using summary measures
ever since it was announced that Shenkle
would be brought here for trial, there was
no disorder attending Shenkle's arrival and
departure. Apparently nearly the whole
population of the town was gathered
around the depot and along the streets
leading to the courthouse, but the troops,
forming a Gordon around the train as soon
as 1t stopped. and surrounding Shenkle
when the latter, heavily shackled, and ac-
companied by Sheriff Conlee, alighted from
the train, prevented any hostile demon
s%tration. If any had been planned.
Shenkle made a full confession Of his
crime to an Associated Press correspondent
this morning while on the way from
Springfield TO Carrollton. II would never
nave done it IL 1 had not been drunk. -
said Shenkle. ~ don't know what made
me do 1t, IL IL was not the drink. / was
too drunk TO understand what / was doing,
and 1 made no attempt to run away"
The chief concern OF the prisoner
appeared TO be regarding the length of his
plead guilty" he said. II know l could
beat the case If / stood trial. but what
chance has a fellow got when a mob is
after him? L would rather go to the peni-
Tertiary for a year or so than be hanged"

WORK OF THE SENATE.
Day and Night Sessions In Effort to
Dispose OF Necessary Bills.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-During the
greater part of a long. tiresome session of
the Senate to-day the sundry civil bill was
under consideration. An interesting and
at times lively debate was precipitated in
the first two hours Of the session from
consideration of the bill requiring rail-
read companies to make detailed investiga-
lions of all accidents involving loss OF life
on their lines and to report TO the Inter-
state-commerce Commission. No action
was taken. The old question as TO the
reclamation of public lands in the arid
and semi-arid sections OF the country was
brought up, but the effort 10 attach an
amendment TO the measure appropriating

penditures I'm Cuba. 1t was permitted to
