MiOtlfl LIBERATED
Br MOB OF FRIENDS
Lynchburg, Va., Oot 21.— John
, Moore, white, condemned to electro
cution on November 25th at Rioh
mond for the murder of Frank Howl,
in Nelson county, on May 14th, was
liberated frcm the Nelson county jail
.this morning about 1 o'clock by a mob
of abont seventy five friends.
It is not known yet what became of
the murderer,but be was carried away
by the mob, who left the jail at Lov
ingston in carriages and on horseback.
The mob appeared at Loviogston
without arousing the residents. John
Stevens, the death watch, who was
sleeping outside of Moore's cell, was
aroused by three men who advised
him that they had a prisoner. Stevens
aroused jailer Perry, wbo was sleeping
above the jail, and when he opened
• the outer door, the mob rushed in and
overpowered the jailer and guard at
the point of pistols.
' The visitors were armed with ham
mers and crowbars,and it was but the
work of a few minutes fo* them to
wreuoh off the looks of the two doors
that stood between Moore and liberty.
Moore was then oarriea out en thus i
[ astioally, and the mob disappeared
as quietly and as orderly as it came for
it oould not have been better organized
Immediately Jailer Perry and Deputy
Sheriff Glason started In hot pursuit
of tbe mob, in tbe hope of rearrest
ing Moore, but at 9 o'clock nothing
had been heard from them.
Before entering Lovingston.a village
of 800 people, the mob out the only
telephone line, aommunioating witb
the western section of the county,
where it,is evident the mob came
from. This made it easy for tbe mob
to secure a good start on the anthoriti
tles. Telephones running to other sec
tions of Nelson oounty from Lovings
ton were undisturbed. Two deputies
pursued the. fugitives for ten miles
but tnrned back upon reaching the
mountain country. Spurred by reward
of $300 offered by Governor Mann,
others bave gone to locate Moore, but
it is a dangerous project. Judge Gor
don ordered an immediate investiga
tion but it is not thought that the au
thorities can make any arrests. Moore
was rescued because of failure to con
vict widow of the dead man, jointly
indicted with him. Up to then, sen
timent was against Moore. He was
sentenced last Saturnav.
YARD CONDUCTOR MURDERED '
Body of M. M. Spence Found With
in Ten Feet of Much Traveled Road
Roanoke, Va., Oot. 20.-M. M.
Spenoo,a conductor, was murdered and
left in an open field in the city limits,
within 10 feet of a much traveled
road, at noon today, while engaged in
checking np cars in the Virginia
yards There was evidence of a desper
ate strnggle,and knife wonnds on the
dead man's bands indicated that they
were received in an efflort to orotect
himself. Three gashes were on t*ie
left side of the throat, and the cheek
was laid open. On the right side was
a wound extending from his ear to
hi s throat, and so deep that tbe car
toid artery was severed. The body
was discovered by M W. London, a
contractor, while on his way to get
his dinner.
Spence was married two months ago
to Miss Alice Himes.a stenographer in .
the office of the olty engineer. His i
watch was undisturbed; but about $1
in small change and his keys were j
found scattered on the ground. A
diamond ring was missing, whioh in
dicates tbat the motive of tbe murder
may have been robery
There is no clew to the identity of
the conductor's slayer, and blood
hounds failed to take the trail.
