TRIED To Lynch negro
Chester Murderer Had a Narrow
Escape From Mob.
EXTRA GUARDS At CITY JAIL

Mob Tore Down Gate to Jail Yard
When They Were Met BY Officers
With Drawn Revolvers-Mayor Ad'
dressed Crowd.
Chester, Pa, Feb. 3.-Albert West,
the negro, who shot and killed Police
man Mark Allen on the street here at
midnight Saturday. was captured yes
terday afternoon in stable at Darby,
and he narrowly escaped lynching by
an angry crowd when brought to the
Jail here.
Policeman Allen, while patrolling his
beat shortly before midnight, saw West
and a colored woman quarreling. The
woman screamed murder and ran from
West, and the policeman placed the lat
ter under arrest. The negro quickly
pulled a revolver and shot Allen in the
leg, breaking the bone, and as he fell
to the sidewalk West stood over him
and fired two more shots into his body,
death resulting shortly after. West es-
capped, and an all night hunt by the en-
tire police force failed to locate him.
A trolley car conductor informed the
police that a negro answering Vests
description had ridden on his car to
Darby yesterday morning, and two po-
licemen upon going to this place found
West hiding in the manger of stable.
When covered by their revolvers, the
negro begged the policemen not to kill
him. The news Of the capture of the
murderer preceded the arrival of the
officers with their prisoner, and when
they reached the city hall in car a
crowd OF 1000 persons was in waiting.
Cries Of Lynch him." Kill him."
made the wretch crouch in the bottom
Of the car, and when he was brought
out on the platform there was a rush
and number Of persons struck him
with umbrellas and canes, while an eff
fort was made to get him away t.om
the policemen. The negro was hustled
into the city hall, and the crowd, seeing
that it was impossible to reach him in
the narrow corridor, ran around to the
court yard in the rear Of the build
ing. The big gate was barred, but a
hundred shoulders were placed against
it and 1t was torn down, and the mob
rushed in with yells Of Lynch him. -
The city Jail stands in this court yard,
and, fearing that a rush would be made
in that direction, Chief Leary placed a
platoon Of police in the driveway, and
the officers with drawn revolvers
Quailed the crowd with a grim deter
mination to prevent lynching.
The crowd sullenly retired, but plot
was soon made for second onslaught,
and 1t was necessary to place some Of
the leaders in custody temporarily to
quiet the crowd Mayor Jefferis
placed chair on the sidewalk, and, adj
dressing the crowd, assured the an~ry
men that justice would be done. and
urged his hearers not to place a. u. =
in the way of an orderly proccdure of
law The crowd still fingered, and as
nightfall found the street still packed
with people, extra guards were plGc ed
at the city hall.
Policeman Allen was one OF the most
popular men on the force He was 80
years of age and unmarried.
