He claims that the shooting was accidental but the ne- groes in the community became aroused and old Allen Sankey was mounted, Jefr Sledge was fastened with a rope and the start was made from Fleta to the Montgomery County jail in a hurry.
 Just as the old negro and his prison CT reached Mobile Street, the alleged murderer, a fine specimen of physical manhood, darted suddenly forward. His aged captor was jerked violently from his horse. Old Sankey hung pluckily ! to the rope, but in a second the young l CT man was on him. Sankey tired 10 reach for his pistol but the uxorcide held his hand. In the meantime the negro's teeth sank deep into the arm | of the old man.
 It was just at this time that the pat rolmen rode up and in few second l SleQkG was hdluOhALCo aAlN HsAS bNAh5 | led to the city.
