CROWD WANTS LYNCHING.
POLICE RESERVES ARE NECESSARY To
GUARD NEGRO WHO SHOT POLICE
MAN IN CAMDEN.
TBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.I

Camden, y. J., Sept. 13-Polceman Isaac
Shreve was shot and seriously wounded this
morning while attempting to capture a negro
who was suspected of attacking Mrs. Elias
Osler, who was on her way home in Pensauken
last Sunday night, and also Of assaulting Mrs.
Sarah Hudson. just over the city line, in Pen
sauken Township last night
The negro coming toward Camden from
Merchantville and was accosted by Shreve, when
he attempted TO run away. Shreve followed
him for about hundred yards. and when al
most within arms length the negro turned and
fired two shots from q revolver at him. The
first bullet went astray, but the second shot
took effect in the groin Of the policeman.
Though wounded, the officer drew his revolver
and fired three shots at the negro, planting one
bullet in his left thigh The shooting took place
in State-st-, the river road. and the noise
of the shooting caused great excitement in the
neighborhood. Three policemen soon appeared
on the scene and effected the capture of the
negro and lifted Shreve. who was lying pros
trate the ground, into a wagon.
When the officers with the captive and wound
ed policeman reached the Pavonia Car Works
a great crowd of workmen assembled in front.
News of the shooting had preceded their ar
rival. and report that the officer had been
killed infamed the workmen, already angered
by the story OF the outrage Mrs. Oser Loud
talk of lynching was INDUCED in, but one Of the
officers stood up in the wagon and addressed
the crowd.
He said that the policeman not dead. but
1t was of the most urgent necessity that he be
conveyed to the hospital to receive medical at
tention Any delay caused by talk would en-
danger Shreve's life. The crowd listened to this
and allowed the wagon to pass Shreve was
taken to Cooper Hospital, where at q late hour
the surgeons were unable to find the bullet.
4 big crowd followed the wagon containing
the prisoner to the police station, and a hurry
call sent out for additional police to guard
him from the mob. The prisoner charged
with assault with attempt to KILL attempted
murder, carrying concealed weapons and being
a suspicious character He gave the of
Dan" Daniels, and said his home was in At
lanta, Ga. whence he had recently
work in South Jersey He would give no fur
ther information about himself The crowd in
the courtroom was TOO large for the police to
manage and threats of lynching We're so strong
that he was hurried to a cell without formality
except that he held without bail.
The prisoner minutely answers the description
of the man who attacked Mrs. Oser week
ago. Her nine year-old son, who was with her
at the time, thinks he is the man. Both Mrs
Osler and Mrs. Hudson will see if they can
identify him.
