 Victim Killed Speak Easy" Propris- tor.
 Etherington early in the evening confessed he killed William Howard, proprietor of the Last Chance" res- taurant and former chief of police, in ing a scuffe at 130 this afternoon and narrowly escaped lynching at that time. When news from the hospital that Howard had died passed over the the city at nine o'clock tonight the fury of the mob took definite form. Large battering rams were directed upon the doors of the Licking county jail, and the deputies were powerless.
 The doors feel after nearly an hours attack.
 Crying piteously. Etherington. A cufly headed Kentucl1fan, who had been serving as a strikebPeaISer since he was released from the rnarine seryo ice three months ago, was dragged forth. "I didn't mean to do it." hs walled, but his cries fell upon deaf ears.
 Troops Asked For.
 Fearing that the mob spirit would not be satisfied with one victim, Sherin Linke immediately asked Adtutant General Weybrecht for troops to pro- tect six other dry raiders held at the city prison, in another section of the town. A hurried guard was thrown out in their defense. The mob, after the first taste of blood, seemed to quiet, but it is feared that they will storm the city prison before the night is Etherington's last moments, while he heard. the mob batteripg down the doors, were spent in praying and writ ing. note to his parents. farmers re- siding near Willisburg, Ky.
 What will mother say when she hears of tfis?" he kept moaning to the jailer.
 Slain Man Did Not Resist Officers.
 Howard, it is charged, did not resist the detectives when they entered his place on the outskirts of Newark. He, it is said, put his arms about Ethering- ton, however, as if to hold him.. where upon the officer fired a bullet into Towards head.
 Striking Baltimore and Ohio rail- way employees declare that Etherington recently came to Newark as a strike breaHer and the III feeling growing out of the strike has intensified that due to the staying today.
