 Marion. Ind, Aug. & Lp)-A fren- zied mob estimated to have con sisted of 1000 persons, stormed the Grant county jail late last night. took two negroes from their cells and hanged them on the court house square.
 The victims were Thomas Shipp, IS, accused of fatally shooting Claude Deeter, 23, of Fairmount, Ind, and Abe Smith, 19, who police said admitted attacking Deeter's girl companion after the shooting on a lonely country road east of here.
 Using sledge hammers after once being driven off by use of tear gas bombs, the mob smashed a hole in the masonry beside the jail door and broke their way through two steel doors to reach the cells of the negroes.
 Clothing Torn Of
 Ships clothing was torn from his body by the maddened men, and he was born in blanket to the court house yard and hanged from the bars Of a window in the building. Smith, borne from the Aiail by a group of men, after they had knock ed him unconscious with their fists and hammers, was thrown on the ground where horde of screaming women trampled on him and tore his body with their finger nails. He then was hanged on tree in the court house yard.
 The mob dispersed early today after it had taken from the jail and severely beaten Herbert Cameron, Is. Today 50 state policemen and police officers from surrounding towns, armed with sub-machine guns maintained order in this city. Gov ernor Harry G. Leslie said he would recall the national guard from its training quarters at Camp Knox, Ky, if further trouble developed. Wrong Man Punished
 The vengeance Of the mob was appeased after Cameron was re- turned to the jail. It was discovered the men had intended taking Rob- ert Sullivan, 19. who was implicated in the killing Of Deeter, instead of Cameron, whose connection with the other negroes was only that of an
 phh- berries.
 A move to get Sullivan after the mistake was discovered and Cameron had been returned. was thwarted by a man who said he was an uncle Of the girl attacked. He harangued the mob. saving the two men direct ly involved had been punished, and advised against further violence. Soon after, the crowd broke up into small groups, and the danger of an- other outbreak was considered slight
 Early today the bodies of Shipp and Smith still swung from the places where they were hanged, the lynchers announcing they would be left there until noon as a warning to other negroes.
 Deeter was fatally shot Wednes- day night as he sat in his parked aut omobile with Miss Mary Ball, 19, Of Marion. Four negroes appeared and after ordering him 10 throw up his hands, shot him four times. One Of the assailants then attacked the girl. Deeter was brought to the Grant county hospital where he died yesterday afternoon.
