 At about ten o'clock last night Sheriff Potts and his jailer at Sylves- ter were awakened by four or five men who announced that they had cap- tured a negro and wanted to place him in jail. They were admitted bearing a negro bound with ropes Suspecting nothing, the officers watched the men as they loosened the negro's bonds Suddenly the visitors seized the off, cers and took from them the impris- Oned negroes Several more automo- piles were driven in front of the jail, and the men in them joined those who had preceded them. The negroes were rushed out of the jail, bundled into machines and started north at rapid pace. The officers immediately at tempted to telephone to head off the lynching party but the wires had been cut
 Hanging to One Limb.
 Lee county citizens searching for the trail of the lynchers found the five men hanging to one limb within full view of the road out from Starkville they had been strung up and then made targets for the men who had taken them from jail.

Lieut., Wheeler landed here in fog
last night while en- route to San Diego
from Los Angeles in an army aero
plane. Three other planes started at
the same time. Lieut.. Wheeler became
lost in heavy fog.
A large number of persons, many in
automobiles, gathered at Mesa, north
OF this city to witness the departure
this morning. The army officer hav-
ing no mechanic, was forced to start
his own plane. The area from which
the start was planned. was cramped
by motorists. At $3.50 O'Clock Lieut..
Wheeler climbed aboard the war plane
For considerable distance the craft
sped down the field gaining momen-
tum. When the plane lifted from the
ground Wheeler, attempting to steer

machine toward the line of motorists.
Support seemed to fatal as the huge
war bird swept upon the spectators.
Several persons started to run as it
became apparent that the officer was
having difficulty managing mis- ma

Suddenly the craft, speeding at six
ty miles an hour, seemed to lower in
the air, struck the ground with a
bound, and hmtled into the parked au-
tomobiles. Four machines were over

capped with hardly scratch.

Bremen Not Yet Heard From,

Baltimore, Nd, July S.-Watchers
aboard the German submarine freighter
Deutschland want to see the ships Of
England go.
They fear that a plan is on foot to
have the vessels in ballast in the har-
Dor follow the Deutschland out to the
capes and accidentally" ram her.
This would save the allied patrol a big
task and as one of the Germans put it,
the British could say, "Oh, beg your
pardon; / will pay you damages"
This fear is believed to be one of the
compelling motives behind orders tode-
lay the Deutschland IS departure.
The Bremen, however, is a vital fac
! tor. Stories that she has been captured
brought the comment from Deutsch-
land official today
"Bah, she is not lost until three or
! four weeks" and he added that the
Deutschland S sister ship is too clever
to fall into the hands of the allied pa
troll.
today. A persistent screen of mystery
still haunted the situation. There had
been long party aboard the Neckar
at the Deutschland pier; some of the
crew had individual parties ashore, roll
ling in during the early hours.
But no one connected with the sub
sea venture would reveal where the
Deutschland stay ends. The forty
eight hours since the Deutschland clear
ed, expired this afternoon, but under
local port rules, it was found that the
vessel need not reclear, as supposed,
except in case she alters her cargo.
This is still being trimmed as there is a
certain uncvenness that might annoy
later.

ATTORNEYS ARGUING
THE LEE JEANS CASE
Testimony All In Last Night
Jury This Afternoon
Says Not Guilty

An element of sensation was inject
ed into the Lee Jeans trial in Depart
ment / of the clrcuit court yesterday
when the defense had Robert Hun
sacker brought before the jury again
and requested him to exhibit the -four
scars which according to his testimony
given earlier were the result OF
wounds inflicted by the defendant
DR.. G. II. Robertson, then on the wit
ness stand, was asked to examine the
scars.
DR.. Robertson testified that the big
gest of the scars was the result of an
operation performed by him on Hun
saker at the hospital, and explained
that such operation was necessary to
free the abdomen of blood.
In their arguments made this morn
ing, the attorneys for the defense made
much of this testimony IN an effort to
discredit the testimony of the princi-
pil witness for the prosecution.
With this exception, the testimony
continued for the most part to follow
the two lines referred to in the Cap'
tai journal of yesterday-the state at.
tempting to show that the defendant
had been involved in series combats
the defense endeavoring to prove that
he was the victim of drunken mob
and was justified in using a knife to
defend himself
This trial has perhaps attracted more
attention than any other before the
circuit court for several months. The
defendant, Lee Jeans, is a butcher al
Turner and member of the city cOun
ell Of that town. The trial is the cul
mination of what appears to be fac
tional enmity in the town, dating back
| for a considerable time.
Bad blood was brought to the sur
face at the time of street carnival
last April, and an attempt on the part
of the city government to collect il
cense fee from the owner of the carni
val seems to have been the incident
most largely instrumental in the trou
BILE.
Taking of testimony was brought tt
close last night at about eight
clock, and arguments were begur
this morning.
The case was given to the jury al
$3.50 this afternoon.
The jury shortly after 5 o'clock this
afternoon brought in verdict of not
guilty, being out about half an hour.
