The libel. the pastor charges. wes

of church troubles in which one group
of parishioners moved sharply against

FEAR LYNCH|NC OF
Slayer OF Three
Smuggle Prisoner from Snow
Hill, Md, Jail as Angry
Mob Gathers
JEALOUSY THE
MOTIVE OF CRIME

SNOW HILL, Md, Sept. Fearing
mob violence following the murder mere
Yesterday OF Levi W. Robinson, his wife
and Alonzo Redden, an employe on the
Robinson farm, by Frank Grano, Chief
of Police Isham and two deputies SNUG
gled the confessed slayer from the jan
here and rushed him to the Nicomico
county jail at Salisbury.
Late last night a mon was forming IN
the streets of this town and threats
were made that the mob would proceed
to Salisbury, take Grano from jail and
lynch him.
It was reported here that a number
of automobiles, filled with men threaten
ing vengeance upon the murderer, were
on the way to Salisbury from the Nir-
ginia end Of the peninsula.
Grano is said to have confessed at
Salisbury that his real name was Car
nine Stumpo. and that he had murdered
his wife in 1913 at Frankford, Philadel-
/ phia.
After receiving the prisoner at Sails
/ bury, the Wicomico county sheriff sent
/ his family away from the residence con-
nectcd with the Jail and prepared TO
resist attack by a mob.
Hate for Robinson and love for Rob-
/ inson's wife led Grano, laborer, to kill
both of them on the Robinson farm near
here Yesterday. Then Grano hunted up
and shot to death kedden, of whom he
was Jealous. Grano found soon after
the triple murder walking along the
road to Snow Hill, surrendered and,
after giving his reasons for the crime,
sald his only regret was that he had
not killed his victims months ago.
About a year ago Grano, who had
been employed by Robinson as farm
hand, was discharged. He remained in
the neighborhood, working on various
farms. Yesterday morning he took an
auto bus from Pocomoke City, getting
of near the Robinson farm and walking
to the house. He found Mrs Robinson
engaged in household work and imme'
diately fired upon her. The bullet en-
tered her head and she died about an
hour later.
An old dependent of the Robinson
family. named Johnson, witnessed the
shooting and was starting off to warn
her husband. when Grano threw him
to the floor. After kicking Johnson
several times. the Italian left the
house. A short distance from II he
encountered Robinson driving in a

beside him. and opened fire. The first
bullet struck Robinson in the hip, the
second in the temple, and ne fell
