Conscious of the righteousness OF

promptly discharged. If the members OF

why do they not bravely give them

The arrest late yesterday of the half
dozen men accused of completely in Sat

feet of clearing the streets when the
members of the mob, who had openly
boasted of their participation in the
affair, began to realize that the state
and county officers had really com
bined in an effort to prosecute all Of
tenders.
Then the people had again been in
famed with the mob spirit when 1t
became generally known that another
negro had been killed, this time by a
white boy in self-defense. This tense
feeling was still apparent when morn
ing came.
Grand Jury Called

deputies armed with the twenty or so
warrants still unserved, while in the
criminal court the selection of grand
Jury. called together under instructions

babies. No one was hurt, but the
family became panic-stricken. Mr.

known until today, when it added tC

court, in charging the grand jury, was
bitter in his statements. After recitins

The miners almost to a man signified

Throughout the lower hard coal fields
