JudgeK'.ugh grant- < j ed an order consigning him to the j 1 superintendent of the State peni-<t tentiurv for safe keeping, as it ^ j was feared that there might pos- j sibly be an effort made to lynch '. him.

The child confess^ I ed that Stephenson had betrayed n her confidence. 'si,,,. . ' This in the eyes of the law is a|. heinous crime on account of the age of the victim. h . Stephenson was arrested yes-j( ; terdav morning and put in jail, j ! As the facts became known feeling , >f ' ran high and there were open threats of lynching. Some urged . s a speedy trial as court was then in session, but the grand jury had Is*en dismissed and the general sessions adjourned sine die. The d presiding judge had no jmwer to j call what would have been an ex- } n i tra session of the court without , ie ' an order from the supreme court. | On learning this the people talked | more strongly of lynching.
