The acsa ult began after n report had
been circulated that a white woman had

was held in the main auditorium of the
city hall in order to accommodate the
crowd, the mayor pleaded with the men
to restrain themselves from violence and
promised that some method Of controll-

found.
The crowd seemed peaceable enough
until rumor was heard that a white
woman had been insulted and that two
white men had been held up by negroes
Then the mob began attacks on negroes
who were seized and searched. If un.
