Blackburn Acqnitted S alem , July 26.—This morn ing Abe Blackburn, arrested last week as leader of the gang which lynched Kelty, was taken to Dallas by the officers, by a roundabout way, for examina tion before Justice Frink. A large crowd from all parts of the country gathered at Dallas. At 1 o’clock the examination began, the prosecution being conducted by Deputy District Attorney Townsend and Benj. Hayden, and defendant was rep resented by McCain Ar Hurley, of Layfette. Many witnesses were examined, among them were Lee Laughlinand and Mr Sappington, of North Yamhill, who testified that they had seen Blackburn at North Yamhill as late as 9 o’clock on that even ing before Keltv was lynched. A hired mun of Blackburn's swore that he saw him in bed at 5:30 the next morning. Black burn, therefore almost conclu sively proved an alibi. The annouuceilrent that de fendant would be discharged from custody was received with uproarious applause by the crowd. It is not probable that in view of the culmination of the first attempt to successfully apprehend and convict the lynchers, any more arrests will at present be made. -SyaaiHl to tli* Reporter. mohdoii hihh General Furnishing Undertaker Lively ! .. 5:45 p.m. Arrive YaquiDa O.
