ARGUES MOB OUT
 OF LYNCH|NG HIM
Allowed Time to Make State ment, Persuades Mob to
 Turn Him Over to Police
By Associated P.sss


 St. Catherines, Ontario August l6.- Common sense and spirit of fair play to- night saved the life of David McNeal, who had been committed for trial dur ing the afternoon at the town hall in Thorold on a charge of having mur- dered four-year-old Margaret Boucock on July lS last.
 The mob which clamored for posses sion of the prisoner numbered several thousand persons, who set fire to the town jail after the prisoner and polIce officers had been smoked out of the town hall, which the mob had set on fire also When darkness had set in, the crowd. which had grown to large proportions, began to storm the town hall with bricks and stones. Before long every window in the newly built building had been shattered, and then the mob attacked the doors. McNeal and the police offi- cers saved their lives by crouching in corners and holding chairs in front or them as volleys of rocks swept the building.
 At first several shots were fired from the upper windows to frighten tho crowd, but it did not hinder them rho flares were thrown through the shat tered windows and couple of men rushed a bundle of hay saturated with gasoline into the ground floor. Flames burst out and eventually the smoke drove the men who had been besieged since early morning down the stairs and out.
 We surrender" yelled McNeal as he came down the stairs with Chlef franh Collins of Thorold hanging to ms steci wristlet Buffalo newspaper man was ahead of McNeaI and the crowd seized him and was rushing him off, and when he showed his badge they let him go.
 McNeal was seized and taken in an automobile in front of the town hall. rope from the town flagpole was run up pole and preparations were made to hang him. He screamed for mercy while the mob howled.
 Give him a chance" called someone, and that met with popular approval.
 "Men-i[y you are men-give me chance to make statement" McNeal shouted. Tt may be my last words on earth"
 McNeal and the crowd later moved to the public library steps, due to the excessive heat caused by the burning of the town hall.
 McNeal spoke for half an hour be- fore a hushed crowd. He swore he had not killed Margaret Boucock. Only degenerate would do such thing" he said.
 From one section of the great au- dience came insistent appeals; Give the man a chance; hand him oyer to the police"
 When McNeal ceased speaking there was no further talk of lynching. The crowd was almost jovial. No one touched McNeal as Chief Mains and his men supported the prisoner to an au- tomobile, and he was rushed off to Welland before there was time for the crowd to change it's mind.

 would not accept his news from a P1ainVille Real Estate man. who has put himself in the way of being refused any information from these same children when he has tried to get the property out of the hands of the writer, and who has without t1edbt given the incorrect inform ation to many people, as we'll as your re- porter.
 I wish to state as being duly ap- pointed trustee of the obove estate that there is no ground for any such staten ent. nor is there any person, or persons trying to purchase the above property, Or even attempted to negotiate for same during the past three months, especially at the price the PlainVille real estate agent has quoted; the property is for sale however, and will be sold when the asking price is paid and not until then. PlainvilIe is a growing town, and the Aldriddge block is not on the knock down price list but is grow ing in price like the town is grow ing in size.

 May Dispose of Wood.
 The timber from the wrecked buildings on the Berlin fair grounds may be disposed of soon it was stated this morning. The buildings are so badly damaged that it is considered almost impossible to rebuild them from the material in it's present con dition. AS soon as teams can reach the wreckage, the lumber will be sold. What the plans of the Con- necticut Agricultural society are, relative to reconstruction cannot be learned. If the fair is to be held this fall it is probable that the buildings will be rebuilt this summer

The :. locomotive has to be turned on the turn ta ble and in addition to this considerable switch ing has been necessary, all of. which has used up. precious minutes much to the annoyance of the comm uters.
