ANXIOUS TOT SlSnJ nrS> fJHet Hutchinson Mott. Ethel Mott, of 265 Judson avenue, a mob of men and ~women attempted to rush the door of the city courtroom, shortly after whe opening of the hearing this morn- ling. Two officers fought back the crowd, and managed to lock the door, rNwhile Wade was hurriedly removed from the prisoners enclosure and Nrushed to his cell on the lower floor. sNhe attitude of the assemblage in kahe hallway was not pleasing to the poIice, and wade's removal was taken as a precautionary measure
 Through their attorneys, Mrs Mott, <wade and Johnston waived e11amina- tton in the City Court today, and l-Here bound over to the Superior Court without bonds. The trio will -Rppear before the Grand Jury this month, and will probably not be ar braigned before the court until the December term.
 Seated in the last row of. the pris- oners' pen, Mrs. Mott sobbed and 'wept throughout the entire proced- ure. Wade retained his attitude of calm and indifference, and Johnston also appeared to be 1aboring under mo particular strain- Mrs Mott was removed from the courtroom im1nedl- Sately after her attorney, Abe S. Geduldig, had informed Judge Fred eric A. Bartlett that his client wished Ito waive examination She appeared Ito be in a state of total collapse, be- ing assisted out of the room by Court Officer Thomas Gerrity. / ~' While Attorney Frederick Morgan twas speaking in behalf of Wade, the crowd staged it's demonstration at the door, A number of spectators rpushed their way into the courtroom, but Officers Thomas Gerrity and Robert Mccullough fought back those who sought to follow. The door was locked, and Gerrity then escorted Lwade from the courtroom Johnston Erernained in his seat Neither of the kprisoners seemed to take any notice -of the mob's action

Part of the mob ran toward Harrison street, but was too late t catch more than a glimpse of tn machine as it rounded the corner in to Elm street.
 Wade and Johnston were later re moved to the County jail, in the DO lice patrol. The crowd did not tarr to witness the exit of the two men.
