NEGRO ESCAPES
 BEING LYNCHED
Sheriff Allows Prisoner to Disguise Himself as Washerwoman and
 Leave Jail Before Mob Arrives

MORRILTON, Ark, Dec 23.-A ne gro charged with assault upon white woman and confined in the local jail, escaped being lynched here today by passing through the crowd disguised as a washerwoman. The mob start ed for the jail but someone telephon- ed the warden of the intended lynch ing and he allowed the negro to dress as woman, but kept him in jail un- til the last minute, meanwhile tele- phoning for assistance in the hope that he could prevent the mob from taking his prisoner. He also tele- phoned for an automobile, but it did not arrive in time for him to flee with his prisoner, and he therefore decided to give the negro a chance for his life and turned him free just before the mob arrived.
 The sheriff then delayed the crowd and finally allowed them to search the jail When they became aware that they had been fooled some were in favor of beating the sheriff for his work, but cooler heads held the crowd in check and the mob dispersed.
 The police are now looking for the negro and expect to have him in cus- tody in a few days.
