He was attended by Dr. McNaugh ton until an ambulance took hi n to tbe hospital. The Sheriff Arrive* Shortly after the rrpulae of the' mob. Sheriff O’Connor arrived with a detachment of police at tbe jail. It la inded lucky that the men dfapers ert before these arrtv:d, or much more bloodshed would have occurred than really did. Some sixty or seventy shots were fire by the mob and probably a third of that amount by the officers. To day tlie Jail presents a battered ap peaiacce. Every window on the front side has bullet mark# and the front porch and doors are well marked, while stveral window glasses are shattered. It Is indeed wonderful that none of tbe officers were wounded, as they v -re in full view of the mob and rcarce’.y thirty feet distant. While the shooting was going on the major ity of the prisoners .n the Jail were eowering in their cells, but the man whose life the mob sought was in deep slumber. When scon In the “cond:toned" cell by the reporter, this morning, he had just aroused from, bis sleep and knew nothing of the at tempt at and defense of his life When told of the attempted lynching,' he said: "Lord, mister, they was trying to kill me. and I ain’t done nothing.” He seexed very much stirred up and wanted to snow all about the attempt to lynch. Will Robinson, the negro, was born at Richmond factory. He 3ays he is only nineteen years of age and moved to Augusta eleven years ago. He married here last January and has been living on Marbury street. He is quite small, only 5 feet 3 inches, and weighs about 110 pounds. He is dark complexioned, has upper front teeth out, and stutters badly. A slight moustache covers his lip. His hands and feet are delicately formed. He is not able to read or write. Sev eral people who know him say he is an honest, peaceful negro. He gives the following account of yester day: The Prisoner’s Statement. “I had a summons to appear at MORE PEOPLE REAP THE Mi RAID AND ITS WANT AOS THAN ANY OTHER PAPER IN AUGUSTA ti* (IMA a art* Till] AUGUSTA HERALD. itt t at be I#BMI * ,*,.{ r,4 IMg get up '~t it aga § t bet* * #wt nst t# tbe sail : aat# ha b*■ Mwaee **■*#* y „,<s *#• Tee tike mob a act la flrtifl on (be paaitee mea was a* outran*®** Mt aad saj* he lot cad, lo protect bit ptiaamer at- My tatari) Pt« of lb* mea pr«eeoi tea* eight made way attempt to d agutae tkem aalvea They alt bad pni and ware mostly from the «rcetera aertioa of the city ■ Alt hough there |p a good d*al of *«- rttemeet la the city, th? people ee* the Jail la atmoet imp.-#*..»-?.* aad it ia got probable that aaother aitampt wilt be made to lynch tbe aegni rtUt ary Ordered t»*t.
