Carrick, Lewis Flnloy, Johnson
Askews and R. C. Davis, the four
prominent men arrested here last
woek on a charge of being members of
a "mob" alleged to have seized Jack
Baton, circus employee, as he wub re
leased from jail, and to have horse
whipped hlra after taking him several
miles into the couutry, waived pre
liminary examination Monday morn
ing and were held to the Scott county
grand Jury by County Judge J. B.
Ward.
Tho four defendants were allowed
to execute- bond for $500 each for their
appearance when the grand Jury meets
October 2. This was the same bond
fixed when the warrants were served
More than a dozen prominent men
askod to bo allowed to sign the bond
Judgo Ward limited tho signers to the
first nine men who applied. They were
J. M. Haggln, Eugcno Rlkcr, W. T.
Hlckey, John A. Gano, E. B. Wiley, W.
H. Gatowood. R. C. Ware, Sr., J. li
Wilson and J. D. Grover.
Evory available foot of standing
room In Uio circuit court room was oc.
cuplcd and the corridors were crowd'
ed with men and women when the case
wag called at 10 o'clock. No evidence
was offered and the whole proeedings
bad been completed and tho court
room practically emptied within twen
ty minutes.
The prosecuting witness, Jack Eaton
who lives in Detroit, was not present
and was not represented except
through County Attorney Church Ford
who was on hand to prosecute the case
for the Commonwealth.
Eaton, a cornet player for the M. L.
Clark circus, which showed here Aug
ust 29, was arrested on that date on a
warrant sworn out by Johnson Askews
charging that he had addressed insult
ing language to Askews' eight-year-old
daughter, Emily, and to her compaa
Ion, Lavlnia Davis, 8, daughter of R
C. Davis, another one of the defend
ants In the present action.
Eaton was rcloased that night by
order of County Judge J. B. Ward
when parents of the children requested
that the matter be dropped to keep the
llttlo girls from having to appear In
court.
A moment after Eaton was released
at 9 o'clock at night, It is alleged that
ho was seized by tho four defendants,
taken seven miles from town on the
Turkeyfoot plko, horsewhipped, and
left on tho spot.
When tho caso was called Monday
morning. Colonel John R. Allen, of
Lexington, one of tho attorneys rtpre
sen ting tho defendants, addressed th
court, saying in part:
"Counsel for tho defendants In this
case have concluded to waive the ex
amlnlng trial. I deem It proper to
state that it Is with no fear but that
tho ultimate result of this case will be
a complete vindication of each of th
defendants that this step is taken
"When tho public knows tho rea
state of facts and the motive that
actuated their conduct, Instead of cou
demulng it will heartily approve, and
conclude that the punishment inflict
ed upon the offender was inadequate
for the crime attempted to be commit
ted. When it realized that a dastardly
outrage was attempted to be commit
ted upon nn innocent little girl, of
eight years of age, the daughter of one
of the defendants and related to the
others, it will wonder at the restraint
of the defendants in not inflicting
greater punishment."

Chilago, Sept 12. The real battle-
over the Daugherty injunction was
launched todi..
The government attempted to prove
existenco of a nation-wide conspiracy
to paralyze the railroads.

modifications.
In the meantime, the preliminary re
straining order was continued for ten

The government scored heavily on
three pointii in the early stages of the
battle
1: Tho court continued the operat
ing time of the writ.
2: The court refused, at least tem
porarily, to (lleiuiss the injunction.
3: The court admitted, under ad
visement, a mass of evidence consist
ing of tele jiams, letters and reports,
detailing alleged indictments of vio
lence, killings, bombings, burnings,
ets., in connection with the strike.
The government continued to pre
sent as evidence scores of communica
tions from all parts of the country in
an effort to establish more firmly its
charge of conspiracy.
Blackburn Esterline, assistant soli
citor general, personally presented the
testimony. Attorney General Daugher
