McPhall, murderer of Fred Alderson. In
Darrington Sunday evening. was Drought
to Everett last night at 10:30 by. Deputy
Sheriff Stanyar. He -escaped lynching In
Arlington only through Stanyar's cool
ness. The mob was ready -with Its rope not a
tnob of Toughs, turbulent and noisy, but
a calm, quiet mob of business men. Prep
arations for lynching the" murderer were
in progress before the prisoner reached
Arlington. Plans -were fully discussed,
hemp wao bought, and the place of ex
ecution selected.
Stanyar was warned by Coroner Bake
man, of the proposed lynching. Stanyar
dodged the crowds and finally entered a
restaurant. While he was at dinner the
rooms tilled with determined men. They
were perfectly quiet, not a word was
spoken.
All Arlington had known Alderson as a
perfectly inoffensive man, they knew Mc
Phall as a "hellion." Stanyar watched the
increasing crowd, though aparcntly pay
ing no attention to It. Finally he arose
and announced: "Gentlemen, you will
have to move out of here, the air Is bad.
Please clear out." Most of the mob had
known Stanyar as a fellow-citizen for
years. They knew his word and they
knew his gun. They moved to the side
walk and Stanyar closed and locked the
door.
McPhalL shivering with fear, begged
the offlecr to protect him. After the meal
Stanyar walked to the door with the
prleoner. The leader of the mob stood
oa. the sidewalk, rope in hand. About him
were packed 400 men. and not one sym
pathetic face. Stanyar knew the danger.
He did not want to resist his old friends
and neighbors with his weapon, and he
did not even draw it. He halted a moment
in the door, then spoke to the crowd. He
told his neighbors of the discredit they
would bring upon him and the Sheriff s
office if they attempted to take the prle
oner. He urgfd them to permit the law
to take Its course. No one but Stanyar
could have saved McPhail's neck. This Is
the belief of Sheriff Brewer.
The mob slowly disappeared. Then
Stanyar hurried to a livery stable and ob
tained a, carriage with which to make a
hurried departure from town. He was
afraid to wait for a train. After he was
gone the mob reformed. The leaders
seemed to have decided that they had
done the wrong thing In letting McPhall
go. They determined to get an engine
and flat car and catch the carriage as It
passed a lonely wooas "below town. But
6tanyar had foreseen this, and by a ae
tour evaded the lynchers.
The crime committed by McPhall was
most cold-booded. as he shot Saloon
keeper Alderson through the head while
talking to him.
