negro CHARGED WITH
ATTEMPTING ASSAULT
Acted in Threatening and Insulting
Manner at Home of Mrs. Beard,
Near the city-Was Captured After
Short Chase-Carried to EllisviIIe.

For a while last night there was
much excitement on the streets in the
business section and but for the
prompt and timely action of the sher-
iff and his deputies, there would in all
probability have been an attempt at
lynching.
The trouble began brewing shortly
after dark, when it became known that
negro had been brought to the city
from the Beard place, four miles out
and just across the line In Lamar
County, charged with insulting a
young lady, the daughter of Mrs.
Beard.
The negro, who gave his name as AL
bert Johnston, but who is also known
as Will Williams, had been hanging
around the home of Mrs. Beard a
couple of days. Yesterday his actions
became threatening and unbearable,
and Mrs. Beard called in Will Hatton
and Tom Belew, who were cutting
some wood nearby. When they an
preached, the negro took to his heels,
but was caught later by Mr.. Theodore
Smith, who brought him to the city.
The negro was at once taken in
charge by Deputy Sheriff Rawls, who
took him to Petal, where Sheriff Ma
gruder took charge of him and car
ried him to Ellisville. where he was
lodged in Jail.
News of the crime and the capture
spread rapidly and an angry crowd
gathered shortly after Z o'clock on
Main street. The temper of the
crowd was not to be mistaken. and it
was not until after they had been as
sured by Deputy Sheriff McGilvray
that the negro had been taken out of
the city, that the threatening aspect
was relieved.
1t is said the negro went several
times TO the home of Mrs. Beard and
asked for a drink of water, which
was given him each time. Finally
doubtlessly noticing that the ladies of
the house were alone, he made threat
ening movements and became so OBJ
noxious that Mrs. Beard and her
daughter became frightened and Mrs.
Beard went after assistance. The fact
that the negro took to his heels as
soon as he saw Messrs. Hatton and
Belew coming, is taken to prove that
his intentions were to attack the wo-
men, and his speedy capture leaves no
question Of his identity.
The crowd on the corner of Main
and Front streets for a while last
night was so large that the sidewalks
were crowded and people coming and
going to the electric theaters found
difficulty in getting through. There
was no actual move made toward TAX
ing the negro, but there was a dispo-
sition to move in that direction, until
it became known that the prisoner had
been carried away from the city.
