Deputies Are Negroes
Eight of the twelve deputy sheriffs
whose shots killed Halllday and
wounded the others were negroes
This fact was not dellnltely known to
the crowd which stormed tho court
house but It was suspected and the
suspicion helped to arouse the racial
feeling

to scattering shots from the crowd
and after the deputies In obedience
lo the sheriffs order hud fired one
volley In the air

outside and another attack on the
court house was not ventured The
militia company ordered out by the
governor nt midnight did not succeed
In assembling until 4 a m and at
that hour the militiamen relieved Wet
lIt deputies
The mob attack on the Jail was the
