 While Chief of Police Moore was standing on the platform after accom- panylng the party to the car, a tall, youthful fellow came to him and ask ed him about the negro. The reply was evasive.
 A few minutes later signal was given and nine more men came to
 the train, surrounded it, and were
 making their own investigation, when the train began to pull out of the station. They were not sure the ne gro was on the train.
