MOB SURROUNDS CITY HALL
Demands the Release Of Arthur Cor
we'll, Man Arrested.

shortly after O'Clock last evening peo-
pie began to congregate in front of the
City Hall and within an hour Market
street between Fifth and Sixth was a
seething mass Of humanity.
The conditions in tho rear of the police
station on King street were practically
the same and 1t is estimated that fully
1000 people were congregated in the two
thoroughfares. Thirty policemen were on
duty, and kept the crowd back. No one
was allowed to enter the public passage
way leading through. passing the entrance
of the police station from Market to King
streets. if
Every car that went by containing a
negro passenger was jeered at and the
yells Of the mob could plainly be heard
on the west side of the city as far out as
jackson street. Such n demonstration by
the people was never before witnessed in
Wilmington and there is no telling what
might have been the outcome had not Cor
we'll been released.
Decided to Release corweIl.
After the coroner's inquest a consulta-
ton between City Solicitor David ]. Rein
hardt, Attorney-General Ward and Chief
Of Police Black was held and the conclu-
sion reached to admit the prisoner to bail.
When this became known several business
men offered to furnish the required secur-
ity to insure Corwelrs release. Bail was
fixed I'm the sum of 5000 and was furnished
by Thomas McHugh.
N Prisoner Cheered.
NAccompanied by his bondsman and City
s,licitor Reinhardt, Corwell was led from
hh cell through the building to the front
entrance Of the City Hall. Upon his ap-
pearance the delirious throng gave vent to
its feeling by deafening cheers. Hats were
thrown into the air and yells Of the excited
mob could be heard for a considerable dis.
tance.
Mr.. Reinhardt held his hand up for at
tention and during a lul in the cheering
announced that the coroner's jury had
brought in "a verdict that George White
came 20 his death by burning at the hands
of a person or persons unknown and as Z
result of this conclusion, Corwell was re
leased upon bail.

Captain Kane and chief of Police Black.
Again the cheers arose with a deafening
shout and as two policemen descended the
steps with Corwen between them, to in
sure safe exit for the latter through the
crowd, the people thronged about the three
men and the officers had their hands fun
preventing the mob from raising the re-
leased man into the air. Several times a
number of people attempted to lift Corwell
to their shoulders, but the police man
aged to stay close to him until the street
was reached.
Suspicious Of Police.
There were many who thought that the
authorities were only playing a ruse upon
them by announcing the release Of Cor
well and rearresting him. This suspicion
was heightened when the accused descend
ed the steps Of the City Hall accompanied
by two policemen. Somebody shouted:
stick together boys, we won't stand for
being fooled" And the crowd instantly
drew closer about the officers and their
charge.
The crowd surging around them carried
them down Market street. At Fifth Cor
well was received by a number Of his
friends and taken to hotel.
Trouble Narrowly Averted.
Such was the temper of the mob that
when City Solicitor Reinhardt arrived he
afterward said a delay of a few minutes
more would have meant trouble. The
release Of Corwell was Attorney-General
Wards first action in the proceedings fol-
lowing the lynching, Mr.. Ward has been
entirely occupied with a big civil suit in
which he was engaged before the mob's
first outbreak. The work of proceeding
against the rioters had been left entirely
to Deputy Attorney General Richards.
No More Prosecutions.
II Is now believed that the prosecution
of the participants in the killing of White
is at an end. The release of Corwell has
met with general approval and on all
sides it is said the State officials will lot
the matter die a natural death. NothwAh-
standing the assertion of the high officials
that a score of ringleaders had been pickes
out for prosecution, all action ceased with
the arrest of Corwell.

The coroner's jury impaneled to hold an
inquest into the death Of George White,
the regro murderer of Miss Helen S.
Bishop. reached a verdict last night which
met with the approval of the mob.
It is safe to say that the conclusion
reached had much TO do with dispensing
the mob that had gathered around the
City Hall last night demanding the release
Of Arthur Corwell.
City Solicitor Reinhardt announced the
verdict from the steps of the City Hall and
the crowd upon hearing Il went wild with
cheering. The conclusion reached by the
jurors was as follows:
Resolved, That George White came to
his death between the hours Of 10 p. m. on
June 22. 1903, and a. m. on June %, 1908,
by being burned in a field adjoining the
road leading to the Ferris Industrial
School by party or parties unknown to
the Jury.

He was asked by Mr.. Lednum If he saw
Arthur Ccrwell assist in causing

Another question asked of the witness
was;

answer.

Military Bands.
Proposal to Abolish Them in France on
Account of Their Cost.

Account of Their Cost.
A French deputy without a soul for
music proposes to abolish the mill
tary bands on the score of the ex-
pense their maintenance involves. In
the year 1918, he shows, only
twelve musicians were allotted to each
regiment. The second empire raised
this number TO thirty-eight. The
present republic has increased it to
more than sixty. There are alto
gether two hundred military bands in
the army in time of peace Hence
10000 men are withdrawn from the
firing line to engage IN contests with
wind. The average cost of each mill
tary band Is estimated at $4,000 a
year. 1t follows, therefore, that the
single item of martial music involves
iii the French army the expenditure
Of the snug sum of 100000 annual
~. This sum the thrifty and I'M
musical deputy, NJ. Messimy, desires
to strike from the budget. He is
willing that Johnnie Crapaud should
march TO glory 20 the musical rhythm
Of his footsteps, but he will have none
of that costly noise which interprets
the soul-stirring lines Of, say, the
"Marseillaisc." lie is against all this
fol-de-roI. He is intensely practical.
He is unitarian from way back.
The Messimy proposal is another
indication of that tendency which has
made itself felt of late years IL
