MAY ATTEMPT LYNcHING AGAIN. z
II is stfll a general opinion that all :
danger OF lynching is not past, and :
with this in view the sheriff Is keep :
ing the prisoners hiding place a secret. :
TUESDAY night, after the mob had dis :
persed, there were remarks Of another :
attempt later in the week, and that :
BAILEY would not get oil so easily" :
whether these threats will mater s
falIze is a question hard to ansv er, :
but TO anticipate any such move, he /.
will take the necessary precautions :
and keep his hiding place from the +,
public. |.
THE ROPE A LARGE ONE. :
The rope left in front of the jail by
the mob as a gruesome warning OF
their intentions, was about fifteen
feet in length and an inch thick. On
one end was a hangmen's moose, which,
nv the way, was improperly tied, and
ION the other end a large knott. When
picked up by a reporter Of this paper,it
was about five feet distant from the
front entrance Of the building, and
laying spread across the brick walk as
il hurriedly thrown there by the men
on their departure. If anything, this
piece OF hemp was poorly suited for a
Lynching Bee.
