SHERIFF SAVES MEN
WHO MURDERED BRAzELL

| The, car containing the prisoners
was followed. AS the machine con-
tanning Fox, Gappins, Sheriff PUNK.
EFT, Chaingang Guard Roberts and
County Officer Norris speeded out of
the Jail yard another car loaded with
men which had been parked block
away from the Jail all afternoon and
night suddenly came to life and
speeded up in close pursuit Of the
officers car.
The destination Of the prisoners is
not known but it is thought that
they are being taken to Macon or
Savannah. ....
Action of Sheriff Plunkett follow
ed rumors of mob violence which
have been growing here tonight and
which were particularly augmented
following a telephone conversation
with Sheriff Heise Of Columbia, when
Sheriff Plpnkett: was apprised that
. mob ohad, ssbeen formed, thereh and
had sworn to avenge the death: of
young Brazell. The report also stat
ed that the mob was to be augmented
y other men who had already reach
ed Augusta. ~.
Sheriff Plunkett and Jailer Gary
Whittle Immediately held a consul
tation and at first it was planned
to take long shot and rush the men
via Mccormick to Columbia but the
red tape incident to such a step dis
suaded the officers and it was then
decided to safely incarcerate them
in some interior point of Georgia.
Sheriff Plunkett left the Jail in
charge of the jailer and deputation
Of county officers armed to the teeth.
While the officers are discounting
possibility of mob violence no pre-
caution has been overlooked and
the Augusta police department has
been notified that it might be called
on for riot duty. AS a result, the
sleeping detail at the; police bar
racks was issued riot guns when it
went on duty tonight.
As a measure Of safety, it is un-
derstood that should a mob sur
round the Jail an invitation would be
extended a committee of it's members
to search the Jail and learn that the
men they seek are gone.
Sheriff Plunkett stated on leaving
the jail that he felt confident of the
ability of himself and his men to
hold the prisoners from any mob,
but that he desired to avoid "weeks
of worry over what some bunch of
hotheads might try to do"
81 don't want to hurt any Of the
boys" he said, because I'm their
friend, but if I stay here with Fox
and Gappins and the mob comes,
somebody's liable to get hurt. SO
figure the wisest thing to do is leave
with them" ...
Neither Fox nor Gappins exhibited
any fear when told that mob was
coming for them and when they left
the Jail seemed to be Indifferent as
to what might befall them.
At midnight the threatened mob
attack had not materialized.
