(ERIFF SAVES MEN
WHO MURDERED BRAZEll
The car containing the prisoners
is followed. As the machine conning
Fox, Gappins, Sheriff Plunk,
Chaingang Guard Roberts and
unty Officer Norris speeded out of
i jail yard another car loaded with
in which had been parked a block
ay from the jail all afternoon and
;ht suddenly came* to life and
>eded up in close pursuit of the
icers' car.
The destination of the prisoners ist
known but it is thought that
jy jre being taken to Macon Or
vannah.
Action of Sheriff Plunkett followrumors
of mob violence which
ire been growing here tonight and
ich were particularly augmented
lowing a telephonic conversation,
^t ^ieriff Heise of Columbia, when
erjff; Pkjnkett was apprised ;.thajb
fnoV/>b#.4-ifeeen formed there,',
1 sworn to avenge the death. of
iing Brazell. The report also statthat
the mob was to be augmented
other men who had already reach
Augusta. ,
Sheriff Plunkett and Jailer Gary
little immediately held a consulion
and at first it was planned
take a long shot and rush the men
McCormick to Columbia but the
[ tape incident to such & step distded
the officers and it was then
:ided to safely incarcerate them
some interior point of Georgia.
Sheriff Plunkett left the jail in
urge of the jailer and a deputation
county officers armed to the teeth,
lile the officers are discounting
ssibility of mob violence no preition
has been overlooked and
i Augusta police department has
sn notified that it might be called
for riot duty. As a result, the
eping detail at' the police bar
iKs was issuea not guns wnen it
nt on duty tonight.
\s a measure of safety, it is un stood
that should a mob surind
the jail an invitation would be
tended a committee of its members
search the jail and learn that the
n they seek are gone.
Sheriff Plunkett stated on leaving
i jail that he felt confident of the
ility of himself and his men to
id the prisoners from any mob,
t that he desired to avoid' "weeks
worry over what some bunch of
theads might try to do'."
"I don't want to hurt any of the
ys," he said, "because I'm 'their
end, but if I stay here with Fox
d Gappins and the mob comes,
nebody's liable to get hurt. So I
ure the wisest thing to do. is leave
;h them."
Neither Fox nor Gappins exhibited
y fear when told that a mob was
ning for them and when they left
f jail seemed to be indifferent as
what might befall them.
At midnight the threatened mob
ack bad not materialized.
