«•• * I
Washington, Nov. 18.—John
W. Tolbert has received Gov
Ellerbe’s answer to hit telegram
asking whether the governor
w’ould afford him protection
from mob violence in returning
to his home at McCormick.
The governor’s reply, ie regard
ed by Tolbert as a practical ad
mission that the governor oannot
afford to give him protection
and therefore, it is said, it is not
likely he will jeopardize,his, life
by returning to his home in the
present excited feeling.
Up to this time no definite
plans with respect to the prose
cution of the participants m the
riotous proceedings against J.
W. Tolbert have been decided
upon. ,The fact that Tolbert is
the assistant postmaster at Mc-
Cormick, and not the postmas
ter, may have an important
bearing ou tlw Assistants
to fourtbelass postmasters are
not recognized by the law as
officers of the government, they
being appointed and paid by the
postmaster. In the postoßce de
partment they are reeoguiz d fl
miscellaneous employees.
Assistant United - States At
torney Cochran, from the Tolbert
district, has been ordered to
Washington for conference with
the officials of the department of
justice, and upon his arrival
here tomorrow the whole South
Carolina situation will be gone
over and a line of action decided
upon.
The case of R. H, Running,
United States commissioner at
Wilmington, N. C.» it said to
present none of the difficulties
which have appeared in the Tol
bert case, and it i» thought tn at
instructions will soon be given
the United States attorney there
to make j,n investigation of the
facts with a view of beginning
proceedings." ' 1 »'
