of lanes Il. Coleman. a wcll-to-do
farmer. last TUESDAY night, was pre-
vented by a mob Of more than Ave hum
dred persons this afternoon.
Since early this morning the crowd
in front Of the little Jail had steadily
increased. and threats OF lynching were
freely made.
Becoming uneasy over the situation
Sheriff Brown made secret prepara-
tions 10 take his prisoners out of town
I'm on automobile. The crowd was
warned, however. and no sooner had
tho car appeared at the rear entrance
IN the iail than IL was surrounded by
angry men in such numbers that the
officers who were waiting to rush out
with the prisoners abandoned the idea
Then the mob .swarmed up the jail
s,ore The doors had been securely
fastened. and no answer was given TO
rcpeated knocks. After pounding on
the doors for several minutes the men
formed a complete Gordon about the
,ai so that no one could enter or leave
without their knowledge.
The temper Of the throng was calmed
somewhat when States Attorney Nick-
ars announced on the authority OF
County Judge Hooper that the negroes
would be held here and that the court
would call "A special session of the
Grand Jury next Monday to take up the
case.

confessed this afternoon that it was he
who killed Coleman, robbed his BODY,
and hid the $50 he secured. Mable de-
cIared that James Parroway, one OF
the other negroes arrested, helped him
Kill Coleman.

Ex Sheriff william n. Mckee, who
was acting as deputy, faced the
would-be lynchers single handed,
wrenched the hammer from the lead
ers hand and forced him and his COM
panions from the corridor.
The mob withdrew a short distance
outside. but only TO open fire on the
windows on the second floor where
Mabel and the other negroes were con-
fined. Sheriff Brown ordered the ne
aroes TO lie down close under the WIN
dows. to escape the flying shots.
Finding It's fusillade of no avail. the
mob desisted, but crowded again to the
tail waiting for an opportunity to make
another rush. That IT would be made
saamsd certain, and the officers waited,
determined to defend Mabel If it were
possible.
