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.
