EXPECT MOB VIOLENCE
MAY BE TROUBLE AT LINDEN, IN
 MARENGO COUNTY.
Citisess Said ts be in Dangerous ssate of Mind Agnfust Booker Glass.
 Negro slayer, of Mir. Allen.
Advertiser Bureau.

Selma. Oct. IF.
 It was learned here today that the people of Linden, in Marengo County are in hourly expectation Of mop Vio- lence Every precaution has been tax : en by Sheriff Jackson and the good ana law abiding citizens of that community to keen down mob if one is formed. The threats of violence are against the negro, Booker Glass, whoswas captured Monday afternoon near SLamison, and who had been hunted for several days by citizens of Marengo County for the shooting and inf1icting of an injury which caused the death of J. E. Allen at an infirmary in this city yesterday afternoon. hH
 Since the capture of the negro Mon- day afternoon and his being carried to Linden Tuesday and lodged in the coun- ty jail it is understood that there have been threats of mob violence. So far no mob has been in evidence but the incentive that would cause a mob came yesterday afternoon when the death of young Allen was announced. and last night, 1t is learned here today. there was expected an hourly visitation from a mob at the jail at Linden.
 Sheriff Jackson. it is learned. has taken every precaution to protect the prisoner in the county jail. He is backed in this undertaking by the citi- zens of Linden who are law abiding and who would rather see the law take its slow course than to see the stigma of mob violence on the escutcheon of their county. It was expected that a mob would visit the jail last night and make an attempt to take the negro from the custody of the law, but no such attempt was made, and 1t is prob ably good for the mob that it was not; as no doubt blood would have been split freely before the negro was taken.
 Young Allen. who died here yesterday afternoon, was a very popular man in Marengo County and had hundreds of friends who would be willing to sacri- flee much to mete out vengeance to his slayer. Threats, it is stated. have been made freely that Glass will not have a trial in the court of Marengo. Whether these threats are the mere talk of brag- garts Is not known. but it is known here that 1t is the wish of the best ele- ment of the citizens of Marengo that the law should take it's course and they

Made Break for Liberty.

Last night prisoner in the city pris- on, named Arthur Taylor, made a break for liberty that came very near being successful. Turnkey Ahern had given the prisoners their supper and had gone into the prison to get the dishes when Taylor. who is a young negro boy about 15 years of age, made a break for the door and knocked Ahern down. After knocking Turnkey Ahern down he reached the prison door and succeeded in getting on the streets.
 Officers pursued the little negro, who gave them a lively chase. After a chase of several blocks he was captured under Mrs. Strider's boarding house on Selma Street. Taylor was carried back to police headquarters and was once again placed in the city prison. This morning he was tried in police court for attempting to escape from the city prison and an additional fine of s45 or ninety days was placed against him.
 Taylor was convicted last week of going into the store of Topper Brothers on Broad Street and stealing a quantity of dry goods from that store. It was during the afternoon of the Jewish hol- fay that he entered the store through an alley door. He and another little negro were tried for the offense and Taylop was convicted and sentenced to 1S0 days or the streets.

are willing to stand by the law and see that the negro who shot young Allen has fair trial.
 The wound which caused the death of
 young Allen was inflicted last Thurs day morning on the Browder planta- ton, near Thomaston, when Allen and the negro Booker Glass. became engag- ed in dispute about some money that 1t is said the negro owed for rent. AL len was on horseback when he met the negro and asked him about the money. The negro became enraged and picked up piece of wood in the road and be- gan beating the young man. pulling him
 from his horse.
 In the scuffie that followed 1t is said that Allen shot the negro twice in the 1 stomach and that finally the negro got the pistol away from Allen and shot
 him in the left side. the ball entering
 his stomach. Tuesday night peritonitis set In and yesterday afternoon the young man died from the wound. Glass was captured Monday evening
 near Lamison after a hunt of several days and was carried. to Thomaston,
 near which place the shooting took
 place. He was identified as the man who had shot Allen. That night he was kept under a heavy guard and the next day was taken to Linden to the county jail.
 Since the negro has been confined in jail it is said that open threats have been made in Marengo County that he would not live to 50 to trial. Those threats have been renewed since the death of the young man was learned of yesterday afternoon, and a citizen from Linden. who came to Selma this morning informed The Advertiser cor respondent that a mob was expected last night to make an effort to get Glass out of the jail and hang him. The mob did not show up last night, but it Is looked for any night by the authori- ties until the excitement attending the death of young Allen has subsided
