out the negro. Leander Shaw, who as
saulted Mrs. Lillian Davi near there.
The mob numbered probably 1000
persons and gathered early, but there
was no indication that the crowd,
which completely surrounded the jail.
contemplated making a rush unti
nearly two hours later. The first indl-
cation was hen a railroad iron was
brought into play by about a dozen
men upon the iron gate of the jail
yard. At the same the entire
mob seemed to catch the spirit, and
with yells and curses dashed for the
Jail entrance.
Some climbed over the tall iron
fence While others hammered upon
the gate. The sheriff, with half q
dozen deputies, stood in the windows
upstairs with drawn revolvcrs and riot
guns. The sheriff pleaded with the
mob, at the same time telling it that
he would defend the prisoner at the
cost of every life present. His words
had no effect. and the moment the first
blow was struck on the gate a voiley
of shots flashed from the upper win
dows Of the Jail. This was answered
by the crowd, which poured vollcy at
ter volley into the Jail windows,
wounding two deputies. The mob was
m~omentarily driven back with many
and one dead as a result of
the deadly aim of the sheriff and his
deputies.
At midnight the mob. which in the
meantime had been reinforced by
many residents of the surrounding
country, made another attack on the
Jail. The sheriff and officers were
overpowered by men who a crept
over the rear wall and covered them
with rifles and revolvers. Others
broke down the cell door and took
Shaw out. The negro was carried to
the center of the plaza and hanged to
an electric light pole. after which
fully 500 shots were fred into his dan
Cling body.
In the last attack on the Jail III. c.

killed while two deputies and four or
five Of the mob were wounded.
