Quite a crowd, was collected at the central station to see the priso ner, and were disappointed to see only the soldiers when the train drew in. The crowd was .a curious one, however, and no violence to the prisoner would have been at tempted if he had been brought to the union station in the train. The trip from Washington Courthouse was without incident. The mob was easily controlled when the reinforcements of the military arrived at Washington Courthouse at StßOo’clock p. m. They gathered in little knots, but offered no resistance. The prisoner was at once taken from the jail and placed upon the train and the journey here was'be gun. Colonel Coit did not order the cartridges taken from the rifles until a coal schute two miles north of Washington Courthouse was passed, as there Sheriff Cook fear ed an attack upon the tram might be made, hut the train was not molested.

A petition w is signed by his friends and pre sented to Governor Robet Lowery, who commuted his sentence to life imprisonment, and just as Govern or Lowery left the gubernatorial chair he pardond Martin from the penitentiary. Martin has recently appeared before the United States court on several charges of telling whiskey without license. He was convicted and given a long term in jail. He had just been liberated from pris on when tbe murder of yesterday occurred. AT SHORTER COLLEGE. Miss Butler Will Give an Interest ing Reading Tonight.
