After having served seven years in

of which he was entirely innocent, the
life sentence of Henry McKeever, a
negro, was commuted Monday to
present service by the Governor, and
the prisoner was released.
McKeever was accused of murder
ing a negro named Brown, In free

feeling at the times was against the
negro, and he promptly was found
guilty upon the testimony of num-

who really killed Brown, and Nc

10000 Job Hunters
Storm Ford Plant;
Beaten by Police

DETROIT. Jan. ia mob Of 10, 600
gathered at the Ford automobile plant
to-day in an effort to secure work un-
der the new scheme, which was to go
into effect this morning.
The police guard was small and the
cold bitter. When the struggling men
saw that the employment bureau was
practically unprotected they made a
rush. captured the policeman on duty
at the entrance, tore his coat, club
and gun from him, and, trampling
him under foot, stormed the Office and
took possession of that section of the
plant. Reserves were called for, and
on their arrival general fight en-
sued, with the result that many men
in the mob were badly beaten before
the crowd was driven back to the
street. Many women were in the
crowd. No men were hired to-day
and probably will not be until the ex-
element dies down.
