In the presence of one of the biggest
crowds assembled In the police court
room In some time, Luther Frailer, a
negro 21 years of age, was arraigned
Friday morning before Recorder
Broyles and was bound over to the su
perior court In 95,000 bond on the
charge of attempting to assault Miss
Orrle Bryan, pretty 18-year-old daugh
ter of Professor Thomas L. Bryan, of
282 Courtland street, Thursday night,
shortly after 9 o'clock. In the court
room the glrl'f father made an effort
to strike the negro.
At the conclusion of the trial, a great
crowd of # men gathered In Decatur
street In' front of the police station
and the officers feared that violence
might be attempted. In order to take
no chances with the prisoner, Detec-
Sergeant Lanford and Police Gall
Officer Dorsett transferred him Imme
diately to the Tower, slipping him out
of the station through the detention
ward and out of a side gate, opening
to Butler street.
The maneuver wns successfully ex
ecuted, the crowd In front of the prlsifn
having not the slightest Idea that the
negro bud been transferred.
No weapons were exhibited by the
crowd and no threats of lynching were
beard by the officers, but the size of
the crowd anti the nature of the crime
barged to the negro, together with
the present strained situation, caused
them to be on their guard.
During the progress of the trial the
spectators crowded about the negro
und the Judge's stand and It was ap
parent that the case had stirred In
tense Interest. Heverul officers stood In
the crowd In close proximity to the
prisoner throughout the henring, pre
pared to check any possible outbreak.
Father Was Frantie.
In giving his testimony, Professor
Bryan exhibited much feeling and nt
one point It appeared as though he
mid attack the negro. As he told of
the brutal attack on his daughter the
father turned suddenly pale nnd trem
bled us though nlmost unable to re
strain himself. In telling that the ne-
•o called his daughter "honey" and
hi her he loved her, the Indignant
father made a movement toward the
prisoner, hut restrained himself from
striking.
The offense of Frailer wns commit
ted at the Bryan home nml wns one of
the boldest of the series of fiendish
crimes that have of late horrified and
aroused this community. Bulling off
hat, shoes and trousers ami hiding
them beside n fence, the negro slipped
the Bryan home, while Professor
Bcyan wiui absent, and attacked the
family.
Getting Into a bed room, In which
ore Mrs. Bryan and her two daughters.
Misses orrle nnd Brin, the negro made
rush for Miss orrle, brandishing a
shoe In one hand und striking ut her.
As he did so, he exclaimed;
"Honey, I love you."
Rushsd Into Closet.
Hushing Into a closet, Miss orrle
rked the door und thus saved herself.
Mrs. Bryun und Miss Brin In the mean
time had dashed out of the room nnd
ere screaming frantically for help.
The negro, falling to setae Miss Orrle,
then ran after Mrs. Bryan, hut she sue-
ceded In eluding him, the screams
having by thls’tlme brought assistance.
Another family resides upstairs In
ie house ami these people, together
It It several neighbors, hurried to the
•ene. the negro being captured before
» could make his escape. He was held
the citizen* until the arrival of
Police rail Officers Dorsett, Hulsey
and Holcome and Patrolman Bradley,
who sent him to the police station.
Mob Had Gathered.
When the officers arrived they found
a considerable crowd on the scene nnd
threats of lynching were being freely
made. Had the police been a few min
utes later, the prisoner might have
been mobbed.
At once realizing the situation, the
officers pushed through the crowd nnd
rescued the negro. After their arrival
there was no further trouble.
Frazier Informed Judge Broyles he
was drinking Thursday night and had
no recollection whatever of his conduct.
Witnesses, however, testified that
Frasier appeared perfectly sober at the
time of his arrest. It was also shown
that the negro had been seen loafing
about the front of the house shortly
before his attack.
Professor Bryan was nbsent at the
time at the Young Men's rhrlstlan
Association building and a few minutes
before the negro entered the house Miss
Krln telephoned her father. Frailer Is
supposed to have been listening out
side and to have thus assured himself
that Professor Bryan was away.
In addition to the charge of attempt
ed criminal assault. Judge Broyles held
the negro on the charge of attempted
burglary.

The Identification of a negro named
Charlie Clayton, who Is known
"Troy,” as the man who committed
the assault on Mrs. Dottle Kimball,
near Oakland City, Thursday, seems
almost complete.
After he was brought to Jail from
the Fort McPherson barracks about
1 o'clock Friday morning he was
guarded by parts of companies K,
and L of the Fifth regiment, state
militia, until 6 o'clock, when the troops
were withdrawn.
Friday morning Marshal Ed Ryan, of
Oakland City, brought several white
citizens nnd negroes living near the
scene of the crime to the Jnll nnd took
a look at the negro., Without an ex
ception, they asserted positively that
he Is u negro Who was seen Thursday
morning on Oakland avenue with blue
overalls on nnd a khaki army coat over
his arm, and who has been loafing
In the neighborhood several days.
On the other hand. Flank Hughes,
who lives about a mile and a half to
ward the city from the Kimball home,
says that he und members of his fami
ly are prepared to sivenr that between
noon and 2 o’clock Thursday the ne-
grp was not away from the house more
than fifteen minutes. The assault was
committed about 1:15 o'clock.
riayton was captured about 10
o'clock by a posse of citizens from
whom he wns tnken by Marshal Ryan
and County Policeman Wright nnd
locked up nt the Fort McPherson guard
house.
Upon request of. Sheriff Nelms, who
went after the prisoner In the automo
bile of Henfroe Jackson, the Cnlted
States officers turned Clayton over tt>
him and the negro was brought to the
Tower In a sensational drive through
a mob, which had.gathered at Oakland
City. Besides Hherlff Nelms and Mr.
Jackson. Deputy Sheriff Daniel and
Mr. E. P # McDonald, Jr., were In the
car.
1 As Messrs. Wright nnd Ryan were
going through the gate Into the mili
tary reservation some one In the mob
which had captured Clayton fired at
them, but County Policeman Burnn
knocked up the arm of the umn will
the pistol to make him shoot high.
Within three minutes after the ns
sault had been reported, a few minutes
after its occurrence Thursday. Marshal
Ryan and several others were at Mr.
Kimball's home, anti within half an
hour county officers and citizens and a
few soldiers from Fort McPherson had
begun the hunt for the assailant.
Bloodhoundt on Trail.
Half nn hour Inter C. II. Robinson
arrived with Sunny Jim, nn English
bloodhound, and a short time thereafter
had got onto the trail of the negro.
The tracks which the dug followed cor
responded exactly with footprints made
by the negro ris he fled from the Kim
ball home.
These showed that he had come to
and gone from the house by the same
route. The trail was lust ut the Cainp-
hellton rood, after leading for several
miles through swamps and fields,
the road the trucks started toward At
lanta, hut were soon lost, the negro
evidently having caught a wagon.
After the woods, within a radius of
several miles from the house, lmd been
closely examined, the men on the hunt
took another tact. Olin Henden wi
taken In custody and placed In the
Oakland City lockup, olin hail told the
officers that he had known the negro
who committed the crime, and that he
had been loafing In the neighborhood
for the past. week. He said at first
that he did not know the man's name,
hut later said he believed It was Troy.
This Is the name by which Mr. Hughes’
family knew their servant.
Olin was taken from the lockup nnd
brought to the police station by his

PLANS FOR INTERVENTION
BEING MADE BY U. 8.
Washington, Sept. 21.—-Preparations
for the organization of an army for the
occupation of Cuba continued today at
the war department. Brigadier Gen
eral Frederick Funiiton spent the en
tire morning In the office adjoining
that of Chlef-of-Staff Bell, which has
been set aside for hts temporary use.
Maps nnd plans drawn up by the
general staff for use in a Cuban cam
paign were spread over General Fun-
ston's desk. It Is Intended that before
he leaves the city tomorrow for Tampa,
Fla., en route for Havana, he shall be
thdroughly cognizant of the detailed
employer, J. N, Ragsdale, nnd T. Y.
Brent early In the evening, and about
fifteen minutes later a mob appeared on
the scene, with the demand that they
be allowed to take the negro and force
him to tell of the whereabouts of the
criminal. They were told that the pris
oner had been taken away, but they
had to he gliown, nnd several men
picked up a big piece of stone nnd
hurled It against the lock until It had
been smashed.
During this disorder several men In
the crowd fired off their pistols and
kept up a regular full-grown riot,
to such nn extent that Marshal Ryan
thought best to ask Sheriff Nelms for
assistance. The sheriff In turn deter
mined to ask Governor Terrell to order
out the militia.
Troops Ordered Out.
When Sheriff Nelms decided to com
municate * with the Governor It was
found that the chief executive wns at
the Bryan dinner nt the Piedmont. A
telephone call, was sent to the hotel and
shortly afterwards Sheriff Nelms went
to the dinner und had a short talk
with Governor;Terrell.
Captain Palmour was In the corridor
of the hotel and at fmee busied himself
ommuqlcotlng with his men. Bur
ton Smith, adjutant of the regiment,
wns acting as toastmaster, but he ab
sented himself from the room until he
could Inquire Into the trouble. The din
ner wns several times interrupted by
calls for Colonel Clifford Anderson nnd
other officers of the regiment, but no
announcement that the troops had been
usked for was made and the diners
were left In Ignorance that any trouble
was brewing.
The soldiers who could be reached
started for Oakland City, but it was
found that the trouble there had sub
sided, and that they might be needed
more at the Jail, where the Clayton
negro hod been taken. The militia,
with Hherlff Nelrp* and several deputy
sheriffs and county policemen, stayed
at the Jail until 6 o’clock.
The Clayton negro was captured near
the Standard oil mill near the United
States barracks nnd by the time the
crowd which cuught him had got In
front of the military reservation it had
swelled until It numbered fully 500
men, all bent on getting the negro
Identified and killing him right away.
When the inob got to the gates of the
fort, Marshal Ryan and County Po
liceman Wright took the negro and
while County Policemen Buran and
Oliver and former Marshal Hardy of
East Point fought the crowd back got.
Inside the gates, which were Immedi
ately locked In the face of the mob.
8hot at Officer.
It was at this time that some one In
the crowd leveled a double-barreled
shot gun at the officers and prisoner
nnd Officer Buran knocked the weapon
up Just in time to prevent a fatality.
The guard at the post was doubled
and there was no more disturbance un
til Hheriff Nelms arrived In the auto
mobile and carried Clayton to the Tow-
Several of the mob narrowly es
caped being run over as they tried to
stop the machine on its return trip.
During Thursday afternoon three or
four negroes were captured by the
posses and brought before Mrs. Kim
ball, but she did not Identify any of
them and they were turned loose. The
crowd hanging around the house all
afternoon was ready to believe on the
slightest provocation unother suspect
had been caught nnd made their way
to the house ready to kill the prisoner
should he be identified. These were
mostly old men who could not actively
join In the chase, hut who wanted to
be In nt the death.
As the automobile of Dan C. Lyle, In
hich Marshal Ryan and Lieutenant of
County Police W. J. Poole hail been
carried over all the rands In the vi
cinity during the hunt was approach

evening It pnsesil through a crowd of

of these saw a pillow with a black cov

Poole and a Georgian reporter and took
t for granted that u prisoner was
Touching In the bottom of the ma-
hlne. When they found out their mis
take they started off to do things to
Olin Hendon.
Hendon Released.
Hendon was turned loose Friday
morning after being taken to the Jail
and Identifying Clayton. Hendon says
the Clayton negro between 10
and 11 o’clock Thursday morning wear
ing blue overalls and carrying a khaki
coat over his arm.

part of Thursday evening and the ne

Little Hope for Peace.
Little hope Is felt for the success of
Secretary Taft's mission to Cuba. In
the opinion of army and navy officers
the Insurgent forces In Cuba do not
Intend to make peace, but are playing
their game with the hope of American
Intervention, which they would wel
come with pleasure.
There Is no doubt whatever but that
failure on Secretary Taft’s part to
bring the warring Cubans to terms of
pence would mean armed intervention
by this country, and both the army and
the navy are preparing to play their
respective parts In the plan of the
president.
