URGE MAYORS IMPEACHMENT.
Strong Report Of Grand Jury In the Hunts
Vile, Ala. Lynohing Case.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala, Sept. ia report
recommending the Impeachment Of Sheriff
A. d. Rogers, Mayor Thomas X. Smith and
Chief OF Police David d. Overton on many
points OF wilful neglect Of duty and i'm
competence was handed in tonight by
the special Grand Jury which investigated
the lynching of Horace Naples and the fire
in the jail on that occasion.
Seven additional indictments against
alleged lynohers were then handed down.
The City Council is advised to reorganze
the police department, but in view of the
fact that court Of inquiry is now investi-
eating the conduct Of the officers and
militiamen who defended the Jail. COM
ment on the action OF the militia is omitted
except the declaration that in the opinion
of the jury the men are commanded by
ignorant and Incompetent officers.
The jury finds that although the mob
threw missiles through the windows OF
the jail and built a fire within no order
was given to them to fire. The report
says:
sThe issue presented to us is clear cut.
We have reached a crisis. The question
10 whether we shall be ruled by a mob or
by the law whether we shall have anarchy
or government, whether an armed and
unreasoning rabble whose worst passions
have been infamed and prejudices aroused
shall be permitted to trample our statutes
under foot and openly commit most afro
cious crimes merely because they happen
to have brute force at their command or
whether we shall say the law Is supreme
1t is the only safeguard OF our property, our
liberty and our lives; it shall be upheld
respected and enforced
If we cannot meet the emergency pre-
scented to us; II we cannot eradicate the
spirit Of anarchy from among us; il we can
not curb the lawless element OF our county,
then we have failed in the highest purpose
OF our government, and our boasted- insti-
buttons are but a delusion and a myth.
Realizing that this Is the supreme moment
OF our history. we must either make a stand
for law and order to-day or surrender to
the mob and to the anarchists for all time

1t has seemed a merry Joke to several

made megaphones Of the placards and
yelled back things uncomplimentary to the

Hughes and MCGOWAN went back and
waited. Late in the evening the three
jokers repeated the trick. That time the
policemen were close up. The chase led
