Solomon, Jr,, and C. M. Adams, Jr., wounding both, the former being fatally shot. There are several stories as to what led up to the shooting, but nt»ne of them show' that the negro had good cause for his bloody deed. It is said the ne gro was pushing his way through the crowd in a boisterous manner and had almoat knocked a couple bf ladles down. According to the story of an eye wit ness, the two young men remonstrated with the negro for his conduct, and when he replied Insolently he was knocked down by them. Then he flash ed his gun. Three shots were fired In rapid succession and young Solomon sank to the ground. After a slight In terval the negro flred his two remain ing shots and young Adams fell. Crowd Gathered.'

While deavoring to get through he waa caught by Detective Amerson, and then began the struggle to get him to the temporary barracks at the fair grounds. Hardly had Fewa been reacued from one mob nt the fair grounda, bent on lynching him and placed In a cell at police headquarters than another mob quickly formed Around the city hall and within fifteen mlnutea thla one waa swelled by the crowds at the fair grounds, from which the negro had been taken. Police Rezerves Called Out. The police reserves were called out and formed a line across First street, preventing an entrance to ■ the police department, but each minute it seemed as If the mob would get a leader and the trouble begin. Inside twenty men were stationed ready for the crowd, should the members break through the police line In the street and get Into the corridor. The'leader for whteh the mob looked soon made his appearance and shouting for the crowd to follow him he started toward the entrance to the barracks. Then It was that Chief Conner took a stand which probably prevented bloodshed. He ordered the Jcader to be hauled out of the crowd and locked.up. Patrolman Coley fought his way In the surging mass of human ity' and after a tight brought out the man and locked him up. The mob tried to follow, but was beaten back by the line of police. In the meantime two riot calls had been sounded and the soldiers were anxious ly waited for. While the police were having troubles of their own at the city hall keeping back the surging mob and anxiously waiting for the militia, another mob was clamoring around the county Jail demanding admittance. Sheriff Robertson, Jailer Hubbard and others assured the members of the mob that Fews was not In the Jail, but this was not believed. A number of men and boys hastened to the yards of the. Central of Georgia railway and secured crow bars and a piece of steel rail to bo used as a battering ram. ' Doors Batterod Down. While one crowd worked with crow bars at the side entrance, knocking holes through the brick wall, another crowd was In the corridor of the resi dence portion of the jail battering away nt the steel door which led to the Inside of the first part nt the Jail where the hospital cells are situated. The pleadings of Sheriff Robertson did no good and thla door was smashed down. Bricks were knocked from around two other dgors. Pistol shots were flred and bricks hurled at the windows and many were broken. Finally the high sheriff of fered to allow part of the mob to go through the Inside of the Jail to see that the negro was not there nnd when Inside a member of the crowd flred Into the cage where the negro prisoners were confined and the bullet struck Percy Campbell In the hip, but did not seriously wound him’ The militia began arriving at the city hall and enough force could then be spared to send to the Jail. The Ma con Hussars, under Captain Wheeler, and a squad of police were sent to the Jail. While the militia corralled the mob In the street nnd dispersed It, the police went Into the Jail and cleaned It out. Then the whole crowd was followed by police and soldiers and headed off from the city hall, where It was feared a Junction with the other mob would be made and an attempt made to storm police headquarters. At that hour, however, about half the Volunteers, more than half of the Hussars and about the same number of the Floyd Rifles were on duty and this show of forep calmed down the m The soldiers remained on duty all night and yesterday while the police reserves were quartered In the city hall until the negro left for Atlanta at 1:30 o’clock yesterday afternoon.

J., Oct.' 8.—Dr. George Frank Brouwer sras placed on trial today In the county court charged with the murder of his wife by_ admin istering poison and ground glass.
