FEAR TROUBLE

Special to The Sentinel.
Mobile, Ala, Oct. 6.-One hundred
and sixty men left here on the South
eIn railroad at five O'Clock this
morning to meet Sheriff Powers of
Mobile county, who is returning from
Birmingham, with two Mobile neg
roes charged with rape. The com
mittee expects to meet the sheriff and
prisoners about thirty miles north of
Mobile.
The feeling against the prisoners is
very intense and there is fear that
they will be taken from the sheriff
and Iynched or burned outside the
city. Two thousand men met the
Louisville and Nashville train this
morning with the full intention Of
taking the prisoners to lynch them
but they were disappointed as the
sheriff and prisoners had gone by an
other road.

SWANSON ACQUITTED.
The Jury Sets Free the Young Man
Whom Father-in-law Had Ar
rested on Charge of
Perjury in Spring.

The announcement published ex-
clusively in the Sentinel yesterday OF
the case of Charles Swanson. the
young man charged with swearing
falsely as to Miss Irene Parton's age
in order to get a license to wed,
aroused much. interest in the some
what extraordinary case.
All yesterday afternoon the trial
of the young man occupied the at
tention of the district court. Swan
son was defended by Attorney ]. S.
Carnahan. The father of the girl
was the principal witness for the
prosecution. He declared on the wit
ness stand that he started the prose-
cution mainly in order to get rid of
the young man as he already owed
him large board bill and he believ-
ed that he would now have to support
him as he had married his daughter.
The young bride, who the father
says is only sixteen years of age but
whose age was given and sworn to
as IS years by the young man, sat
in the court room throughout the
trial with her father and one or two
young lady friends. 1t is said that
the young girls sympathies were en-
tirely with her husband.
Swanson declared that he had been
told that his bethrothed was eigh-
teen years of age and that he made
affidavit in the county clerks office
believing honestly that the girl was
eighteen years of age.
Several witnesses were examined
on both sides, strong arguments were
made by the attorneys and the trial
was watched by a large crowd oi
spectators The case did not reach
the jury until late hour and the
jury was not long in bringing in a
verdict of mot guilty.
The young man was released from
custody at once and has been re
united with his bride from whom he
was unceremoniously taken on Sept
20 as a result of the prosecution
started by the father. and lodged in
the county jail.
The young man seemed to have the
sympathy of nearly everybody who
we're familiar with all or part OF the
details and as the conviction of Swan
son on the charge of perjury would
not make the marriage void it was
considered strange by many that Mr..
