WASH SMITH BROUGHT HERE.
Negro Who Was Convicted of As-
 sault in Baldwin.

Wash Smith. Baldwin County negro, was placed in the Montgomery County jail last night by Sheriff J. NJ. Arm- strong of Baldwin County.
 The negro was given sentence ot thirty years in the Baldwin County Cir cult Court at Bay Minette for an assault committed near the Hand Lumber Com pany camp last May. He was a night fireman, at the Hurricane Mill, and leav- ing his work followed three white women up the railroad about half a mile and attempted to assault them. Next day a determined mob of citizens was threat ening to take him from the authorities and lynch him, but after communicating with the State Executive Department he was hurriedly transferred to the mines.
 This week Smith was carried to Bay Minette for trial on three indictments for assault. After being sentenced yesterday he was hurried away from Bay Minette on account of some fears by the Sheriff that an attempt might be made to take his life.
 The Convict Department will take charge of Smith Monday, when he will be returned to the mines. He is 40 years old and will hardly live to sc ve his sent ence.
