and Holmes proves it to the
world. 1t is time drastic
action was taken"
Sheriff William Emig of San Jose
appealed to the Governor for state
militiamen at 1890 last night, an
hour before the snarling, hate-mad-
dened mob stormed the county jail
and seized the victims.
Troops were not needed" the
Governor said.
Emig and fifty officers fought the
mob for two hours before the crazed
throng broke into the Jail. Tear
bombs held the attackers off until
11:20 D. m. when they battered down
the main door and surged into the
Jail proper.
Thurmond was unconscious and
probably dead when the rope was
placed around his neck. He had
been beaten and kicked senseless.
Willing hands jerked his body into
the air as the mob cheered.
Holmes was naked. His clothing
had been torn from him. He
screamed for mercy.
you've got the wrong man." he
cried. I'm Joe Pierce
A moment later his body dangled
grotesquely from another elm few
yards from where Thurmond was
lynched, in the shadow of monu-
ment to President Mckinley. He
kicked convulsively and was still.
Men, boys and sprinkling of
women composed the mob. Many
tainted and were trampled. Others
screamed Historically and fed
Others wept. Some laughed crafty
Some faces we're flushed with lust
for vengeance. Others were deathly
white.
Body Found Saturday
The pentup emotion of an en-
ragged city had burst its bounds.
Legal justice had been too slow. 1t
was enough for the mob that
Thurmond and Holmes had con-
fessed. They decided on quick JUS
tice.
The city had seethed since Nov.
Is when Thurmond was arrested.
He was calling the palatial Hart
home here demanding $4,000 ran
som when he was captured.
He confessed that Hart was dead
and implicated Holmes. They had
thrown the boys wire russed body
off San Mateo bridge into San
Francisco bay. Search for the body
was begun. Two duck hunters
found it Saturday.
That was the spark that ignited
the mob
Sheriff Pleads for Aid
The crowd began assembling i'm
mediately. All day long it milled
around the old weather beaten Jail.
1t steadily increased. Sheriff Will
liam Emig called IN fifty officers.
Streets to the Jail we're barricaded.
It's big steel doors were reinforced.
Tear gas bombs and rifles we're is

Thurmond was locked in a remote
cell on the third floor Holmes was
placed on the second floor.
BY $50 p. m, 1000 shouting citi-
zens milled around the Jail. Sheriff
Emig was desperate. He called Oak
land and San Francisco police for
reinforcements. But they we're too

M'NUTT BEARS
$4,000 CHECK
TO BIG JIM
Patronage Plea Is Seen in
Gift From 2 Per Cent
Club Funds.
BY DANIEL NJ. KIDNEY
Times staff Writer

Governor Paul v. McNutt &C
companied by DR.. Carleton B. Nc
Culloch, Democratic state chair
man, will go to Washington Friday
and present a $4,000 check to the
Democratic national committee, it
was learned by The Times today.
The money came to the state
committee, through the sub-com-
mittee, from the so-called . Per
Cent Club" collections.
Arrangements have been made
for Senator Frederick Van Nuys to
be on hand when the check presen-
tation is made to Frank Walker,
national Democratic treasurer.
Senator Van Nuys passed through
indianapolis yesterday en- route to
Washington from the west coast,
where he has been a member of the
senate committee conducting inves-
legations into receiverships and the
courts.
Visit Is Heralded
He didn't stop here and only
one of his political followers was on
hand at the station, as he gave the
trip no advance notice, it was said
Governor McNutt is scheduled to
address the Virginia State Teachers
Association at Richmond Friday
night. His Washington duties, in
Guiding the check presentation, will
be performed en- route, according to
present plans.
1t was said that on the Governors
last visit to Washington the post
master-general, James E. Farley,
who also is national Democratic
chairman and patronage dispenser
for the administration, inquired
about the forthcoming funds.
1t also is pointed out that since
Governor McNutt speeded up de-
livery on funds he also may seek
to speed up delivery of Indiana pat
ronage.
$4,000 Still Due
At any rate, it puts the Governor
squarely N the national picture and
his policy has been to dictate
patronage and policy whenever and
wherever possible.
His command of the organized
Democracy in the state is unchal-
lenged with the resignation of R.
Earl Peters as state chairman, it is
contended by his hackers.
Indiana's assessment by the ma
tional Democratic organization to-
tailed 100000. Of this sum, $4,000
was paid during the campaign and
the remainder has been a deficit
which the Hoosiers have promised
to pay.
The $4,000 Thanksgiving gift will
reduce the amount owed to $4,000.

SECOND LARGEST BANK IN NATION
 WTTHPRESIDENT
National City Bank of New York Stands Firmly
 Behind Policies

New Yorw, Dec 6.-(UP)-The National City bank, second largest financial institution in the United States, voiced it's approval to-day of President Roosevelt's campaign "to bring about business and indus trial recovery"
 Directors of the bank announced approval of administration poli- cies through James H. Parkins, chairman of the board, who dis closed a sweeping reduction of the banks financial structure and the sale of $50,00O,0OO worth of com mon stock to the R. F. c.
 In letter to stockholders Per kins proposed reduction of the pre- sent common stock of $124,000, 900 to $77,500,000 through reduc- ton in par value of the securities. The stock, now having par value of $20 would be reduced to $12.5O a share.

BOSTON DID NOT
 CREATE FURORE

Boston, Dec 6. UP)-Boston celebrated repeal last night, but the merrymaking was mild com pared with that of any New Years eve during prohibition. A shortage of liquor and confusion in the is- suance of licenses combined to curb the celebration. Nevertheless thousands gathered in the II clubs and S5 hotels and restaurants which had licenses while other non- drinking thousands watched the fun from outside. The first legal drinks of hard liquor here were served to Governor Joseph B. Ely and U. $. Senator David l. Walsh at the s40,0O0 merry-go- round bar at the Copley Plaza hotel. Aside cities and one town also had liquor on sale last night.
 Boston's full force of 2,230 po- licemen remained on duty through out the night but found little to en- gage them. The city's more elabo- rate speakeasies closed voluntarily several days ago, awaiting the time when they could obtain licenses. The closing came after Police Con- missioner Eugene c. Huffman had assigned officers to stand guard at the bars. Many of the smaller down-alley speakeasies still four ished to-day however, and police made no move against them, evil dently in the hope that these estab- lishments would be killed off by legal competition.

 With booze in control we can count on only two or three effec- tive days of work week in the factory. That would destroy the short day and the five-day week, which sober industry has introduce ed.

 Whatever may be his present at titude about the success or failure of national prohibition, Ford has not changed his opinion about the saloon and drinking workmen. He will fight against the former and dismiss the latter,
 Ford, however, is not as adam ant he has been portrayed toward the man who takes drink, it is said He knows that some of his workmen and executives take q drink when they wish, but ignores it as long as he does not actually see them or note that it is interfer- ing with their work, associates say.
 When he is discussing intoxi- cants, Ford seldom, if every men, tions beer or wine. He expresses his complete abhorrence of all drink by the way he bites out the phrase full of whiskey." "a

SECOND NEGROES
 FOUND GUILTY IN
 THE GIRL ATTACK
Clarence Morris Penalty Was Fixed at Death
 Was Second Trial

Decatur, Ala, Dec 6-UP)- Clarence Norris, second Of the Me- gro defendants to be retired in the Scottsboro assault case. was con- victed by a Morgan county jury here today.
 The jury fixed penalty at death, the same as in the case of Hay wood Patterson, first of the de- fendantS to be retried and simi- larly reconvicted.
 The jury had deliberated since S:25 a. m. yesterday. It returned it's verdict at 11:30 a. m. today.
 1t was the second trial for Nor ris in the case in which he and eight other Negroes were accused of assaulting two white girl mill workers in a gondola car of a nov ing freight train near Scottsboro. Ala. on March .25, 1881.
 New trial for Norris was granted by the U. s. supreme court after the state supreme court upheld his first conviction at Scottsboro. Two defendants were declared minors and sent to the juvenile court.
 Venue change to Decatur was granted Norris and the other de- fendants by Judge A. E. Hawkins at Scottsboro early this year.
 In the trial just ended Norris was charged with assaulting Mrs Victoria Price, who identified him as her assailant in the courtroom Norris did not testify in his own behalf
