Lucas eundeavored to convitice the moli that it would be better to let the law take its course, but they refused to Tisten to him and insisted upon securing posses gion of the negro. The noise made by the inob at tracted a large number of people, and the excltorttont dfew intense; May, hearing the disurbance, right ly concluded that the erowd had come with the intention of putting him to & violent death, and wasg greatly agitated.
