C, March 21.?Th? fifteen-year-old negro murdoror, Broad nax, who killed Sidney Blair, tioar Rftlds ville, yesterday, and shot Miss Walker three times, for the purpose of robbery, when brought to Greensboro last night for safe-keeping, seemed really more concerned about the appearance of his clothes, necktie, etc., than anything., else. While the sheriff of Gullford county was telegraphing the Governor of the' roport that an armed body of men were Raid to be oomlng from Roldsvtlle to lynch tha brute, and the wlrp.a were being Itept hot to protect hlrn from swift Justice, he, the least concerned ot all, calmly sleep? ing in his cell In tho Jail, apparently not concerned at all. The report of lynching became? so alarming. Governor Aycock ordered the prisoner taken to Rateigli Jail, and he was awakened at 1 o'clock and carried on the regular night train thoro, In tho meantime the Gate City Guard had been called out for .?heir first ofllclal service, being In readiness at' their armory for anything that might happen. The negro never at any time scorned alarmed or excited. He showned im? patience only when tho sheriff was hur? rying him to dress quick to catch the train. He talked freely about tho crime to any ono who asked him nbout It, Bay? ing he got only $5 for committing IL He has .not a brutish face. LYNCHING PREVENTED t Was Well That the Slayer of Blair Was Promptly Moved. (Bpncl'il to The Tliaeu-Dlupntcli.) ?REIDSVILLE, N. C? Maroh 2L-Bher Iff Frank Pennlx and J, E. Lambeth re? turned froth Greensboro, where they car? ried Broadnax, who killed Sidney Blair. Thoy did not accompany him to Raleigh, The crime Is the general topic of oon versaUon throughout tho county. Many are of opinion that if thu negro had not been removed from tin* county Jail ho would have been lynched. Others, think thero was n/ore talk than anything elwc. The remailla of Blair were hurled to-dny. The funeral was attended by a lingo' concourra of friends and relativos. Blair had the r?putation of being ? ml ?er throughout the county, and the Impres? sion is that ho kept a large sum of money hidden on the promises, Rroad ?;ax was acquainted with ttie promises and th? old man's habits, nnd knew where some money had been hidden, The negro chose Dio timo for the attack well. No trains wero passing at that hour. The nearest neighbors lived some distance away, and could ho counted upon 10 be doing tin* evenlng'H work nt home. There was darkness onough to bid?? movements and make escapo pro? bable.

We laid the statesman down to rest, So great, so puro his life Cnad been We stifled sorrow In our breast As though It were a mortal ?In. A man na good as he was groat. The maker of his country's laws, Beloved of friends he served his State, And battled for tbe people's cause. But now he Bleeps on his loved shore While all around tho robins slngr; And sad the ocean's billows roar Borne on the breath of early spring. The hand that eoothod Uhe fevered brow Thn voice that swayed the Senate's will That lias across hla bosom now? And thla la now forever still, ,Tls "meet that I should laud his worth Unworthlor son of self-same womb Who called him "brother" at his birth And with him mused at Vlrglls tomb. Who crossed with him the ocean's wldo And thon on old Pompelan wall Saw on Vesuvius rugged side The twilight shadows gontly fall. Alone In the strange land we etood? Two hearts so closely knit In one That nvery throb of bin warm blood Seemed then to mingle with my own, And Aooomao or latamboul, Al Waehaproague or Ispahan There never breathed a nobler soul TDttslr never walked a manlier man. Bweet be bla dreams his slumbers long, Down by hla own beloved Boa That erstwhile sang his cradle song Ant! etili shall chant his lullaby. ?? HIS BROTHER, Condition of Mr. Korbes. Young Mr, R.
