and between the two the scheme of
outwitting the vigilance committee
was concocted. No effort was made
to keep away from the public the
statement that the murderer would be
here Monday, and the willingness of
the officers to divulge this caused the
press representatives to smell a
"nigger in the woodpile."
The Jail is locked securely, and not
wide open as It has been during the
past few days, and this fact alone as
sisted In starting a quiet Investiga
tion, as It was surmised the prisoner
was "back among the old folks once
again."
H.s attorney. George TJentley, has
affidavits from attaches of the sher
iff's office who were present when
the mob appeared on Tuesday morn
ing early this month, and he has also
taken occasion to secure newspaper
dippings showing the intense feel
ing against the murderer, all with the
hoiM? of being granted a change of
venue, but few in touch with the sit
uation believe the cuurt will allow
the application, and are Bure that the !
trial will he held in f.aker county.
Rumor has It that threats are made
law or no law the officers will never
take the wretch from Baker county
to be either hanged or imprisoned at
the penitentiary, A measure enacted
at the last session of the legislature!
provides that all hangings shall be I
