BEHIND PENITENTIARY BARS. -4 Negro Who Caused Trouble at Spar tanburg Removed-Negro Train Wrecker, also Taken to Columbia. "News and Courier. Spa.rtanburg.

The prionr were ac- I mpl:med by I )ptV SheriiL Beck- ( aIl -in.l (aplt. . .1. NihoIS of the n 11i:L'1lt rll i il:lr1111l I: was thought best to remove Irby and A-new to Columbia so as to avoid fortl!er trouble with citizens who feel that they have been outraged. The autihorities state that it would have lbeen impossible for either Irby or Aznew to have been taken from the jail. but rather than have military (compamiles and special offieers on dutyh about the jail indefinitely it was deemed best to take them to Colum- t] bia for sa-fekeeping. Next Saturday is circus day. and several thousand people will be in the city and it was feared that the citizens of the mill villages might make another demon- - stration then. The situation was ex I plained to Governor Ansel and to ar rid all further trouble it was decid ed to send the prisoners to the State penitentiary. Today shortly before noon, the hour for the departure of the train to Lau rens, the Traynham Guards, of Lau rens. one of the companies which has been on duty since Saturday night, marched to the passenger depot. The presence of the soldiers marching through the streets to the station di verted the attention of the crowds from the jail. Upon the -arrival of . the company at the station they boarded the train. Deputy Sheriff C Becknell and Capt. Nichols, of the Hampton Guards, accompanied by C Sherit' Nichols. took Irby and Agnew from the ja.il and hurried t.hem out the hack way. The train was flagged at a crossing near the Palmetto Roller Mills and the prisonmers placed aboard. ~ The engineer of the train lost no time in getting under way again. Sheriff Niehols did not accompany Capt. ~ Nichols and Deputy Becknell with the prisoners. Court is now in session here and his duties required him to C be at the court house. t It did not become generally known that the prisoners had been removed b from the jail for some time after e they had been taken away. All -the a troops that have b)een on duty since t Saturday have been dismissed. The d Traynham Guards re*.:rned to Lau- y rens today and the Morgan Rifles re- a turned to Clifton on a special trolley a car. Thie oficeers who were on daty at the jail all day Saturday and Satur~ day night and throughout last night say that it would have been impossi ble to have 'taken Irby from the jail, even if the mob had effected an en trance, for the prisoner was locked up in one of the inner cells and it would have required all the chisels, steel saws. etc.. in S.partaburg to take him out. The moment the negro was br ought to jail on Sa'turday morning he was placed in one of the strong- 1 holds. This was done so that if there had been a general firing by the mob Irby would not he struck by any of the bullets. I Irby was badly frightened on Sat- ( urday, but during 'the latter part of ~ th eafternoon he become more com posed. Whmen first arested, near Sax- ~ on Mills. he seemed to be in a doped I or dazed condition. The other piis oners in j:1i1, especially those who oc upied cells near the windows and knowing just what was going to hap pen. On the whole, though, they I could be seen by tihe angry mob out side, were more or less exe,ited, not made no trouble for the oficeers. There were frequent reports going I the rounlds during today thlat Miss .t Dempsey was dead, but upon inRuiry it was learned that she is doing as well as can be expeeted. Her condi- 2 tion is still serious. As a result of tihe efforts of the t mob to capture Irby nine arrests have been made as follows:< John Sparks. Oscar Carver, Ben1 McCarthy, Bud McCarter, Nathant Richard. Grover Fowler. Cicero Thom- t as Will Burnett, Wiley Burnett. All of the defendants have given bail in I sums ranging from $350 to $1,000. It I could not be learned her today wheth er a sp)ecal term of court will be call ed for tile trial of Irby or not. Private Hoke. a mem'ber of the,a Hampton Guards, the local military. copany. was placed under errest yesterday on the charge of refusing to obey orders. Hoke left the comn- I pany. it is said, saying that he would not protect a negro charged with attempting to ravishl a whlite woman.I Later~ he wa~s found by a detachlment of soldiers and carriedI to jail. He was released today and will be court-] martialed. No Demonstration at Laurens.
