two later the negro was sentenced to die in the electric chair March Il.
 In addition to the four persons killed fifteen persons were injured when the troops fired into the mob, the author ities ascertained later. Four hundred troops from Camp Taylor, Ky. have been ordered to Lexington to proven! any further trouble and are now en route here, officials announced. The
 additional troops were requested as 1t was feared tLdt the 300 militiamen could not handle the situation. Fearing that the mobs would loot pawn shops to obtain firearms, police and military officers went to all such stores in the city and gathered up guns and revolvers. They said an at tack upon the militiamen was feared. Soldiers and policemen continue to 1 guard near the court house following the shooting. Officials feared that another attempt might be made to lynch Lockett should the crowd dis cover his whereabouts.
 Trouble was feared by the authori- 1 ties as soon as Lockett was captured and confessed to the assault and | murder of the little Hardman girl l Tuesday. At first the prisoner was ] lodged in the state prison at Frank l fort. When he was indicted late | last week and it was decided to hold l his trial here today, approximately l 300 state troops were ordered here to guard him.
 | The little Hardman girl was found
 murdered by schoolmates a short dis I tance from her home last Tuesday l morning, just a few minutes after she 1 had left home for a nearby school 1 house. She had been dragged into a l cornf1e1d and her head had been
 crushed with a stone. The body had ! been partly covered up with corn
 stalks.
 Within, a few minutes posses were
 formed by residents of the neighbor- | hood and a search was instituted for i the murderer. Lockett was suspected
 and finally was found late that night | at q friends house about six miles 1 from the scene. He was taken into ] custody by a Lexington physician and his friend, to whom he denied having ! murdered the girl. Later police an-
 nounced, the negro confessed to the murder, adding that he didn't know | why he had killed the girl.
 Louisville. Ky, Feb. 9-Reports
 received here by telephone during the forenoon said mobs then were loot ing pawn shops and hardware stores at Lexington in an effort to obtain firearms and had declared the inten- tion Of securing the negro by any means.
 On the heels of the report came an
 appeal from Governor Edwin P. Nor row for troops to protect the negro
 and quiet the situation.
 l Arrangements imm ediately were made at Camp Zachary Taylor to form two provisional battalions of 160 linen each and send them to Lexing- ton. The troops were to be com manded by General F. c. Marshall
 and were to go by special train, if one could be secured. Lacking rail-
 would be sent by truck.
 Lexington is nearly 100 miles from Louisville.
