The days proceedings were enliy-

former professor OF the University Of

to more enthusiasm than has been
shown since the convention assem-

Word from Jonesboro at O'Clock
this morning was that all was quiet
there, no one being near the station
or on the streets Word had been re

his prisoner left DongOla they took
the bottom road which leads nearer
to Mill Creek than Jonesboro, and the
F., impression was that the party would

this also, seeing him unhitch his

The negro himself declared that it

when he returned than she stated. He
does not give any satisfactory state

when the crime was committed.

officials is the piece OF cloth used as

one on the walks and streets near the

the sufpicions of the officers were

were not too soon. A few minutes

gradually grew in numbers and came
together and moved nearer to the
Jail. 1t was nearly o'clock when
the lea lers arrived and the whole
mass moved simultaneously upon the
entrance to the police station. A
committee had been appoined to
make their waits known to Chief
Egan and jailer Lutz. The former
tried to pacify the men, declaring
that the prisoner was not in the Jail,
but he was not believed. The men
insisted upon searching the Jail, and
the room used as police headquarters
was filled with men closely packed to-
2ether, who began to shout angry
demands for the prisoner. The Off

, three members of the mob with the

cells. The wooden hold-overs were

found empty. Then the steel cages

was scrutinized. There were a num-
ber of negroes in the cells who lay
Iquietly on the floor or in the hunks
and their shiney eyes expressed ter

VIM. James the negro suspected OF
the murder of Miss Anna Pelly was
taken away last evening on the Hi
nois Central train going north at 7:l5
O'Clock This step was deemed ad'
visable by Chief Egan and Sheriff
Davis in order to save him from pos
sible violence at the hands of an en-
ragged populace.
The negro was taken from the jail
in the police patrol wagon few
minutes before the train left Central
Union station at Second street and
driven to Fourteenth and Ohio streets,
where the train stopped to receive
him. Sheriff Davis had boarded the
train at Second street and the pris-
oner was turned over to him at Four
teenth street by Chief Egan and Dep
uty Sheriff Fuller, the latter accom-
panying the sheriff and prisoner to
his destination.
1t could not be learned last night
where he was taken. Rumor had 1t
that he was to he confined in the
Murphysboro Jail for the time Being.
AS soon as it was learned that the
negro had been spirited away long
distance telephone message was sent
to Anna notifying friends there that
the negro was on tne train due there
at 8:35. and a return message to The
Bulletin stated that large number
of citizens we're gathered at the Anna
station awaiting the arrival of the
train II was not disorderly gather
ing. seemingly more out for curiosity
tAan with purpose to do violence.
But the negro and officers were not
on the train Sheriff Davis had re
ceived notice en- route that the peo
pie were gathered at Anna, and he
took the prisoner off the train al
Dongola.
A message from the last namet
point about Q: 80 last night stated tina

the prisoner aud an officer of Don
COLA had driven from Dongola into th
woods shortly after the train left j

sumption being that the officers plan

station.
