FORDON In the presence of one of the biggest crowd« assembled In the police court room In some time, Luther Fraxler, a negro 21 years of age, was arraigned Frldny morning before Recorder Broyles and was bound over to the su perior court In $5,000 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 girl’s 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 tive Sergeant Lanford and Police Call Officer Dorsett transferred him i/nme- fllntely to the Tower, slipping him out of the station through the detention ward and out of a side gate, opening Into Butler street. The maneuver was successfully ex ecuted, the crowd In front of the prison having not the slightest Idea that the negro had been transferred. No wen pons were exhibited by the crowd and no threats of lynching were heard by the officers, but the slxe of the crowd and the nature of the crime charged 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 and the judge's stand nnd It was ap parent that the case had stirred In tense Interest. Several officers stood In the crowd In close proximity to the prisoner throughout the hearing, pre pared to check any possible outbreak. Father Wat Frantic. In giving his testimony, Professor Bryan exhibited much feeling and at one point It appeared as though he would attack the negro. As he told of the brutal attack on his daughter the father turned suddenly pale and trem bled os though almortt unable to re strain himself. In telling that the ne gro called hts daughter “honey” and told her he loved her, the Indignant father made a movement toward Jhe prisoner, but restrained himself from striking. The offense of Fraxler was commit ted at the Bryan hoiiie and was one of the boldest of the series of fiendish crimes that have of late horrified and aroused this community. Pulling oft his hat, shoes and trousers and hiding them beside a fence, the negro slipped Into the Bryan home, while Professor Bryan wus absent, and attacked the family. Getting Into a bed room, In which were Mrs. Bryan and her two daughters, Misses Orrle and Erin, the negro mnde a rush for Mlee Orrle, brandishing shoe In one hand and striking at her. Ah he did so, he exclaimed: “Honey, 1 love you." Rushed Into Closet. Rushing Into a closet, Miss Orrle locked the door and thus saved herself. Mrs. Bryan and Miss Erin In the mean time had dashed out of the room nnd were screaming frantically for help. The negro, falling to eelxe Miss Orrle. then ran after Mrs. Bryan, but she suc ceeded In eluding him, the screams having by this time brought assistance. Another family resides upstairs In the house and these people, together with several neighbors, hurried to the scene, the negro being captured before he could make his escape. He wns held by the cltlxens until the arrival of Police Tall Officers Dorsett, Hulsey nnd Holconie 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 anti threats of lynching were being freely made. Had the police been a few min utes later, the prisoner might have been mobbad. At once reallxlng the situation the officers pushed through the crowd and rescued the negro. After their arrival there was no further trouble. Fraxler Informed Judge Broyles he was drinking Thursday night nnd had no recollection whatever of hi* conduct. Witnesses, however, testified that Fraxler 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 absent at the time at the Young Men’s Christian Association building and a few minutes before the negro entered the house Miss Erin telephoned her father. Fraxler 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- I criminal assault, Judge Broyles held the negro on the charge of attempted .burglary. Tlje 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 guarded by parts of companies K, B and L of the Fifth regiment, state militia, until 6 p'clock, when the troops ere withdrawn. Friday morning Marshal Ed Ryan, of Oakland City, brought several white cltlxens and negroes living near the scene of the crime to the Jail and took a look at the negro. Without an ex ception/ they asserted positively that he is a negro who was seen Thursday morning on Oakland avenue with blue overalls on and a khaki army coat over his arm, and who has been, .joaflng the neighborhood several days. » On the other hand, Frank Hughes, who lives about a mile and a half tq- ward the city from the Kimball home, says that he and members of his fami ly are prepared to swear that between noon and*2 o’clock Thursday the ne gro wus not away from the house more than fifteen minutes. The assault was committed about 1:15 o’clock. Clayton was captured about 10 o’clock by a posse of cltlxens from whom he was taken by Marshal Ryan and County Policeman Wright and locked up at the Fort McPherson guard house. Upon request of Sheriff Nelms, who ..ent after the prisoner in the automo bile of Renfroe Jackson, the United States officers turned Clayton over to him and the negro was brought to the rer In a sensational drive through a mob, which had gathered at Oakland City. Besides Sheriff Nelnis and Mr. Jackson. Deputy Sheriff Daniel and Mr. E. F. McDonald, Jr., were In the car. As Messrs. Wright and 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 Buran knocked up the arm of the man with the pistol to make him shoot high. Within three, minutes after the as sault had been reported, a few minutes after Its occurrence Thursday. Marshal Ryan and several others ft’ere at Mr. Kimball's home, and within half an hour county officers and cltlxens nnd n few soldiers from Fort McPherson had begun the hunt for the assailant. Bloodhounds on Trail. Half an hour luter C. R. Robinson arrived with Hunny Jim, an English bloodhound, and a short time thereafter had *got onto the trail of the negro. The tracks which the dog followed cor responded exactly with footprints made by the negro us he fied from the Kim ball home. These showed that he had come to and gone from the house by the same route. The trail was lost at the Camp* bellton road, after leading for several miles through swamps, and fields. At the road the tracks started toward At lanta, but were soon lost, the negro evidently having caught a wngon. After the woods, within a radius of several miles from the house, had been closely examined, the men on the hunt took another tact. Olln Henden was taken In custody and placed In the Oakland City lockup, olln hail told the officers that he had known the negro who committed the crime, und that he had been loafing In the neighborhood for the past week. He salt! at first that he did not know the man's name, but later said he believed It was Troy. This Is the name by which Mr. Hughes’ family knew their servant. olln was taken from the lockup and brought to the police station by his Insurgents Run When Their Shots Are Returned.

Y. woman. “You Just couldn’t convince me Its use was connected with the heart and stomach trouble I suffered from most all of the time. My trouble finally got so bad I had to live on milk and toast almost entirely for three or four years. Still I loved the coffee and wouldn’t believe It could do such damage. “What I needed was to quit coffee and take nourishment in such form my stomach could digest. I had read so much about Postuni, the cereal coffee, but never thought It would fit my case until one clay I decided to quit coffee and give It a trial and make sure about Ho I got a package and carefully followed the directions.

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 be shown, and several men picked up a big piece of stone and hurled it against the lock uptll it had been smashed. During this disorder several men In the crowd flred off their pistols and kept up a regular full-grown riot, to such an 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. Troopa Ordered Out. When Sheriff Nelms decided to com municate with the Governor It was found that the chief executive was at the Bryan dinner at the Piedmont. A telephone call was sent to the hotel and shortly afterwards Sheriff Nelms went to the dinner and had a short talk with Governor Terrell. Captain Palmiour was in the corridor of the hotel and ai once busied himself In communicating with his men. Bur ton Smith, adjutant of tho regiment,^ was acting as toastmaster, but he ab-^ sented himself from the room until he could Inquire Into the trouble. The din ner was several times Interrupted by calls for Colonel Clifford Anderson nnd other officers of the regiment, but no announcement that the troops had been asked 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, anil that they might be needed more at the Jail, where the Clayton negro had been taken. The militia, with Sheriff Nelms and several deputy sheriffs nnd 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 and by the time the crowd which caught him had got in front of the mllltury reservation it had swelled until It numbered fully 500 men, all bent on getting the negro Identified nnd 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 Counsy Policemen Buran and Oliver nnd 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 and Officer Buran knocked the weapon up Just In time to prevent a fatality. The guard at the post was doubled nnd there was no more disturbance un til Sheriff Nelms arrived In the auto mobile and carried Clayton to the Tow er. Several of the mob narrowly es caped being run over as they tried to stop the machine on Its return trip. Dining 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 und they were turned loose. The crowd hanging around the house all afternoon was ready to believe on the slightest provocation another suspect had been caught and 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, but who wanted to be In at the death. As the automobile of Dnn C. Lyle, In which Marshal Ryan nnd Lieutenant of County Police W. J. Poole had been carried over all the roads In the vi cinity during the hunt was approach ing the Kimball home late In the evening It pnsesd through a crowd of armed men on Onkland avenue. Some of these saw a pillow with a black cov ering on the rear seat between Officer Poole and a Georgian reporter and took It for granted that a prisoner was crouching in the bottom of the ma chine. When they found out their mis take they started off to do things to Olln Hendon. Htndon Released. Hendon was turned loose Friday morning after being taken to the Jail and Identifying Clayton. Hendon says he saw the Clayton negro between 10 and 11 o’clock Thursday morning wear- inn blue overalls and carrying a khaki coat over his arm. W. A.
