Achievements Arrive.

By this time Chief of Police Rotten berry had arrived with large squad of city and county officers and the committee was stopped at the door of the walls and the men wer searched. Only one of the eight was armed. Chief Rotenberry contemplated holding the men as mob leaders, but after taking their names and addresses they were allowed to leave. One of the eight men who made the search was brother-in- law of the outraged girl.
 While members of the committee were being detained the remainder of the mob developed an ugly mood in sharp contrast with the orderly man. ner in which the negotiations with the warden had been carried out. Spokes- men demanded that the eight men be turned over to them, and but for the impressive showing of firearms made by the now formidable party of officers there probably would have been an ef- fort to storm the prison office.
 Chief Rotenberry appealed to the young men to disperse, but the spokes- men hurled back abuse, and there was another more impressive demonstration of police armament and retreat by the mob to the big gate at the entrance to the penitentiary grounds. When the police withdrew again there was Il fresh volley of abuse, with "To hell with the law" as the loudest cry.

 When Judge Thomas W. Champion mounted the bench and received an af- firmative response to his question "Gentlement. have you rache1 yer dict?' her eyes followed intently the motions of the bailiff as he received the verdict from MT. Laughridge walked across the courtroom and han5. ed it to the clerk, who rad it in a ner. vous falsetto voice.
