Special to The Georgian
Mobile, Ala., Oct. 3.—Roy Hale, a
special officer of the Mobile and Ohio
railroad, was fatally shot, and Aider-
man Sidney Lyons, chairman of the
city council of Mobile, slightly wound
ed In the hand last night during a fight
at the county Jail between deputy sher
iffs and a crowd of men determined to
capture I>lck Robinson, a young negro.
The mob Is still hunting the negro, and
will lynch him If possible.
The negro, who is only 17 years of
age, attacked Ruth, the 12-year-old
daughter of- Rlount Hossamnn, who
lives about three tulles from here. The
girl was passing a secluded spot not
far front her home, when she was at
tacked. Later she was fouml lying
unconscious by the roadside, and was
taken to her home. Detectives were
placed on the track of the negro, and
within three hours he was raptured.
He was taken before the Hossumun
girl, who Identified him. Deputy Sher
iff Fateh, knowing thnt the life of the
negro would he taken by a mob If he
brought him Into the city, caused him
to he conveyed to a station severul
miles up the Mobile and Ohio railroad.
Mob Formed Early,
As early as 6 o’clock In the evening
crowds of men commenced to gather In
the down-town streets and by fi:30
600 men had formed at the Intersection
of Royal and Dauphin streets. In a
short time the entire crowd was on the
march for the Jail.
Sheriff Powers met the leaders of the
mob and offered to let anybody whom
he personally knew pnss through the
Jail to satisfy the crowd of the truth of
Ids statement. About 40 men walked
through the corridors and some of
them returned an«l assured the mem
bers of the mob that the man was not
there. While several men were still in
the Jail a portion of the crowd led by a
tall, raw-boned man, seized a telephone
pole, which had been blown down In
the recent storm, and /lashed It ngnlnst
the closed part of double door, one-
half of which was open. The door fell
with a crash and almost Instantly a
shot came from a revolver In the
hands of a man standing In the gate.
At once the members of the mob com
menced a fusilade and about a dozen
revolver shots were tired and then came
several shots from a title held in the
hands of a man who leveled It above
his head and worked It vigorously while
holding It In thnt position.
Second Mob Gathortd.
Shortly after 10 o’clock tonight a
eecofld mob gathered in the business
section of the city and went to the Jail,
convinced that Robinson was there
and expressing themselves as hound to
have him at any cost. Sheriff Powers
declared to this crowd ns he Imd to the
tlrst one, that Robinson was not In the
jail and had not been there. The mob
demanded that they be allowed to send
men through to make another search,
and this was permitted by the sheriff.
Eight men entered the Jail and after
an Inspection came out and Informed
the crowd that the man was not in
there. The temper of the crowd was
growing extremely ugly when Uaptnln
Frank Lumsden mounted a cart and
addressed the crowd.
This speech satisfied the crowd, and
It soon dispersed.
