militia.
Martin is now enroute to Murray

was taken for safe keeping. Sheriff
Fox of Galloway county told the
United Press Martin would be brought
into the court room some time today.
Fox said he did not expect trouble
and would not permit his deputies
and other court attaches to display
firearms. Every spectator, every per-
son entering the room will be search
ed and relieved of weapons of all
character.
The mob composed OF whites and
blacks, surrounded a hotel here last
night, when it learned Judge Bush

deputies drove them back Some of

while others went to the court house
where they remained until the arrival
Of Governor Stanley from Paducah.
