prisoners had already been in.
dlcted, they we're sure of a
prompt, speedy trial, and that the
trial jury would give them justice
in acce rdance with the evidence
produced. But it was all like
pouring oil on a fire. The men
were out for blood. They we're
going to act regardless of all that
might DO said. They, while in
tent on having the life of these
negroes for a horrible violation of
the law, were at the same time
preparing to outrage and set at
naught the very same law the
negroes under Indictment had
violated. They were coolly and
deliberately going to commit a
series of murders themselves in
order to avenge Others
1t is hardly needful to go into
detail as to the riotous scene at
the Jail, Or to discuss here the
feeble efforts m ade by sworn Of
ficers of the law to protect these
prisoners, though it should be
said in simple justice that they
did all they could, except to re-
sort to armed resistance. 1t is
equally unnecessary to dwell upon
the opera boutfe performance,
given by the Rowan Rifles, on this
occasion, to large audience,
but through no fault of their
own, as it does net appear that
they had orders to shoot to kill,
or we're expected to hurt anybody.
70 plac@ the Rifles in such an
awk ward position, was a mani
fest injustice to both officers and
men.
All the same the mob got three
men whose names are mentioned
above, and also took George Irwin
out with them. Later, however,
he was returned to the jail.
At eleven O'Clock the three
murderers were in the clutches of
the mob. They were marched
out Maiu street to the place Of
execution where short work was
made of them Aa effort was
made to get the men t> confess,
but to no avail. Nease Gillespie
and Jack Dillingham; remained
obstinate aid stolid to the last,
and would neither confess their
guilt or affirm their innocense.
John Gillespie pleaded for his
life, declaring with tears that he
was in no way connected with the
Lyerly murder. Three of the
prisoners, George Irvln, Henry
Lee and Della Dillingham; were
taken out f town by a late train
to q safer place.
Shortly after eleven O'Clock
Gov. Glenn was informed of con.
dltions at the jail by Judge Long,
and at once wired orders to
military companies at Greensboro
Charlotte and Statesville to hurry
here by special train. Finding
he was too late the orders were
contermanded. The Charlotte
Staff correspondent, H. E. G
Bryant states in his story of the
lynching, to his paper, that some
time ago the Governor offered
Sheriff Julian the aid of thu
military, but that this official die
not think them necessary and de
clined the Offer.
The Governor declares tn
lynching blot on the State-il
: which view nearly all good citi
zens will heartily concur-and de
clares he will at once take steps t.
bring the guilty parties to jus

Henry Mayhem, the grandson O
Nease Gillespie was the first wit
ness examined by the grand jury
and while no one knows what he
told, outside Of those who were ir
the jury room, it was probably
the same tale he has told of the
crime and it's perpetrators from
the beginning.
At $40 in the afternoon the
grand jury returned q true bill
for murder in the first degree
against Nease Gillespie, Henry
Gillespie, George Erwin, Jack
Dillingham;, John Gillespie and
Della Dillingham;.
A number of special deputies
were sworn in in the afternoon as
matter of precaution. Judge
Long instructed the sheriff to
turn searchlight on the jail, and
an arc light was placed at the
corners of the front part of the
building. The officers were in-
structed to keep every man away
from the jail yard.
The prisoners appeared to be
frightened, but were not uuduly
excited. Nease Gillespie did not
seem to partake of the fears of the
others and took much interest in
the court proceedings.
J. F. Newell, one of the attor-
neys for the defense, had talk
with them when they were taken
into the prisoners room. Later
the defendants were led into the
bar and given seats. The bill of
indictment was read and the
defendants pleaded not guilty.
Mr.. Newell wanted a continu-
ance on the ground that his eli
ents could not get a fair trial. The
incident of the attempt to get
the prisoners for lynchlng pur-
poses on the night they were first
brought to Salisbury, was refer
red by Mr.. Newell in proof of
his statement that public senti-
ment against his clients was much
inflamed. Solicitor Hammer de.
