Very little was said but there was a determined air about the leaders of the crowd It was seen at once that if the negro was brought in on the 10 o'clock train that he would never reach the court house. The authori- ties therefore telegraphed this and the negro failed to arrive.
 As soon as the train came up to the station 1t was boarded by numbers of men in squads prepared to take charge of the defendant. They were puzzled that negro was not to be found. Hun- dreds had gathered, and the greater portion of the crowd spent the entire day waiting to see if the negro should be brought in from the country. The officers make no statement as to where the defendant is nor what manner of procedure is to be had and men are still waiting to see that he is not lodged in jail.
