22 years old, employed by the
State Ant i?Saloon League as a blind

.Friday night, following a day of almost
continuous rioting. The heavy i

Etherington, early in the evening, '
confessed he killed William Howard, i
proprietor of the "Last Chance" res- |

an a raiding of alleged "speak

afternoon and narrowly escaped
lynching nt that time. When news
; fron# the hospital that Howard had

of the inob took definite form. Large
battering rams were directed upon
Hie doors of the Licking county
jail, and the deputies were powerless.
The doors fell after nearly an hour's
1 Crying piteously, Etherington, a
<urlyheaded Kentuckian, avIio lias
been serving as a strikebreaker since
lie was released from marine service
three months ago, was dragged l'orth.
"" I didn't mean to do it," he wailed.
His cries fell u^on deaf cars.
Fearing that the mob spirit would

Linke immediately asked Ad jut an'
Oenernl Weybrecht for troops to pro

the city prison, in another section
the town. A hurried guard Avas

Etherington's last moments' while
be heard the mob battering down the
doors, were spent in praying and Avriting'a
note to his parents, farmers residing
near Willisbnrg, Ky.
"What Avill mother say when she
hears of this?" he kept moaning to
the jailer.
Howard, it is charged, did not resist
the detectives when they entered
his place on the outskirts of Newark.
He, it is said, however, put his arms
about Etherington. as if to hold liirn,

employes declare that Etherington recently
came to Newark as a strikebreaker,
and the ill-feeling growing
out of the strike was intensified by
the slaying Friday.
The detectives arrived Friday morning
with search and seizure warrants
pioeured from the mayor of Granville,
a nearby village. One of the fist saloons
visited was that of Louis Bolton,
where a bartender, Edward McKenna,
was hit over the head with brass
knuckles. The detective who hit him
? was pursued by a crowd that quickly
assembled. The detective was rescued
hy the police with difficulty. The officers
with their prisoner were followed
by the mob to the jail.
Licking county, of which Newark
is the county aeat, is dry under the
Rose local option law but AntiRaloon
League officials declare thai
tfce law is not enforced. Wayne B.
Wheeler, State superintendent of the
league, at Columbus, declared that
Friday's situation was brought about
