The mob Is still hunting the negro, and will lynch him If possible. The negro, who is only 17 years of age, attacked Ruth, the 12-year-old daughter of- Rlount Hossamnn, who lives about three tulles from here. The girl was passing a secluded spot not far front her home, when she was at tacked. Later she was fouml lying unconscious by the roadside, and was taken to her home. Detectives were placed on the track of the negro, and within three hours he was raptured. He was taken before the Hossumun girl, who Identified him. Deputy Sher iff Fateh, knowing thnt the life of the negro would he taken by a mob If he brought him Into the city, caused him to he conveyed to a station severul miles up the Mobile and Ohio railroad. Mob Formed Early, As early as 6 o’clock In the evening crowds of men commenced to gather In the down-town streets and by fi:30 600 men had formed at the Intersection of Royal and Dauphin streets. In a short time the entire crowd was on the march for the Jail. Sheriff Powers met the leaders of the mob and offered to let anybody whom he personally knew pnss through the Jail to satisfy the crowd of the truth of Ids statement. About 40 men walked through the corridors and some of them returned an«l assured the mem bers of the mob that the man was not there. While several men were still in the Jail a portion of the crowd led by a tall, raw-boned man, seized a telephone pole, which had been blown down In the recent storm, and /lashed It ngnlnst the closed part of double door, one- half of which was open. The door fell with a crash and almost Instantly a shot came from a revolver In the hands of a man standing In the gate. At once the members of the mob com menced a fusilade and about a dozen revolver shots were tired and then came several shots from a title held in the hands of a man who leveled It above his head and worked It vigorously while holding It In thnt position. Second Mob Gathortd. Shortly after 10 o’clock tonight a eecofld mob gathered in the business section of the city and went to the Jail, convinced that Robinson was there and expressing themselves as hound to have him at any cost. Sheriff Powers declared to this crowd ns he Imd to the tlrst one, that Robinson was not In the jail and had not been there. The mob demanded that they be allowed to send men through to make another search, and this was permitted by the sheriff. Eight men entered the Jail and after an Inspection came out and Informed the crowd that the man was not in there. The temper of the crowd was growing extremely ugly when Uaptnln Frank Lumsden mounted a cart and addressed the crowd. This speech satisfied the crowd, and It soon dispersed.
