INTENSE INTEREST
HERE IN MOB's WORK.
Many Went To Lexington and
Had Their Curiosity Satisfied
-Rumors Thick and Fast

Intense interest was manifested in
Richmond all day Monday in the deve-
lopments at Lexington, when mob
tried to take the negro murderer
Lockett from the authorities.
Quite a number from here went over
early in the morning, expecting to see
some excitement, and they evidently
had their curiosity we'll satisfied.
Telephones were kept busy all day
to the Fayette county capital, seeking
news of developments. Along about
noon Boyd Sandlin, of the Richmond
Hotel, wired here that eight had been
killed, and that there was lots of ex-
citement. Others who called to Lex
ington were told that the casualties
were five or six. One phone message
said that four policemen had been
killed and their bodies were lying in
front Of the courthouse, and no one
dared to go near them.
George Blanton, who is employed bv
the Allen-Eleetric Company at Lex
ington, phoned his mother, Mrs. Laura
Blanton, that a girl who worked in
a store next door to his office on Mill
street, was shot during the fusillade
Of machine gun bullets.
1t was reported that when the mob
first charged the soldiers, the latter
used blank cartridges, but that when
the mob did not stop, the soldiers used
real bullets and it was then that the
members of the mob were killed.
Miss Annie Belle Ward, manager of
the Richmond picture theatres said
Monday morning that her people at
Lexington had taken moving pictures
of the negro, of the little girl he kill
ed, and other scenes at the place of
the murder, and that two moving pic
ture machines are busy today photo
the mob. She said that the
pictures will be shown in Richmond
