Bloomington, ILL.,, Aug. 17.-George
Richardson, the negro who was Sc

keep him from the mob that wanted
to lynch him for an alleged assault
on Mrs. Mark Hallam, Saturday night
in an Interview with the Associated
Press declared his innocence of the
assault on Mrs. Hallam. Richardson
seemed at ease when seen in his cell
at the jail. He talked freely of his
doings during the last few days and
says that he would be glad to return
to- Springfield after the present out
burst is over and prove his limo
cence in the case in spite of the par

sailant by Mrs. HaIlam. Richardson
declares he went home from work
Thursday evening and to bed at 8
O'Clock; that he did not leave his
room until Friday morning when he
rose TO go TO work. His neighbors,
both white and negro, he says, will
vouch for his returning home Thurs
day evening and for his departure for
work Friday morning. He says he
does not know Mrs. Hallam or where
she lives and never saw her until
after his arrest. Il can explain her
identification of me only by the the
DRY that all coons look alike to her"
said Richardson.
Il have always tried to conduct
myself in a manner that would com
pei the esteem of all people, especial
ly the whites, because l have always
realized that negroes were objects of
suspicion with white people l hon
estIy believe my white neighbors
would give me a good reputation. I
do not feel uneasy over the present
difficulty in which I find myself and
| feel sure that when the frenzy of
the righteously indignant populace
cools off I shall have no difficulty in
re-establishing myself as a good cit,

friend of former Governor w. S. Tay.
Tor that Mr. Taylor will return to
Kentucky from indianapolis for trial
on the charge of completely in the
Goebel murder case Immediately af-
ter the November election. 1t IS also
considered probable that the case, on
change Of venue. will be transferred
to Louisville.
Mr.. Taylor has always stated bis
willingness to return To Kentucky
and stand trial, provided that no
could secure a fair trial and would be
granted bail. During his canvass for
governor A. f. Wilson stated that
Mr.. Taylor would certainly retlrn to
Kentucky for trial if he were elected
and that Mr.. Taylor would be given
a fair trial
Information from Frankfort is that
Governor Wilson has decided not -
bring this matter up pending the
campaign. He is determined not to
make the Goebel case a political is
sue, and will take no steps until the
election is over. Immediately after
the election, however, he will notify
Mr.. Taylor that tie time has come
for him to face trial and dispose in

Trouble Follows.

Elgin. Aug. 16.-Because Miss We've
Cameron, 10 years old, has mouth
that is too small she may be a victim
Of Iockjaw. Smallness of mouth does
not allow room for a wisdom tooth
she is cutting to grow properly.
The girl came to Elgin from Water
loo, Ia, TO visit a sister. While here
she visited five specialists and all
refused to operate, fearing blood poi
soning and each advised her to go to
Chicago and visit a specialist.
She has been troubled with the
tooth for a month and on several oc-
casions her jaws have been slightly
locked.
1t IS probable that when the opera.
ton is performed her jaw must be
broken and great care taken to pre-
vent blood poisoning.
