Mol) Party Appeared At

ing in Seven Automo
biles, Demanding Negro.
IRVINGTON. Ga.—A mob of flf-
jv or sixt |>orsons stormed the Wil-
kmson county jail at an early hour
Tuesday morning, and after a bat
tle in which one of the uards and a
member of the mob were slightly
hounded, removed Jim Denson, a
vgi*-. sentenced to hang June 16,
en a charge of criminal assault.-
Members of the mob appeared at
the jail at midnight, the guards
stated, arriving in seven automo
biles. They demanded that Denson
le turned over to them. The two
guards John B. Stanley and jj R.
Bell, refused and fired a volley of
hhrns into the mob, they. said.
One of the members of the moo
is believed by the guards to have
l*en wounded during the exchange
of shots, and C. H. Richards, one of j
the prisoners, was also hit by one
of tin bullets and wounded slightly.
Gaining entrance to -the jail,
numbers of the mob with cfOW-
Kirs removed the iron bars of Den
son's cel! and hastened away with
the frightened and trembling negro.
The guars stated that, a' rope was
around Denson’s neck when the
mob left with him.
