Six hundred fed-l ????? 1 ami Ntnto troops arc pa'rolling tho street* to prevent further rioting which during ,tf?e day exacted a toll ?>f four ilt-Hil ami Hf>t*vn wounded.' The city was quiet early tonight, but Authorities fear a recu i-rence of violence. Five hundred additional United State? twopt are en route from OiuttP Taylor, Ky. Lexington and all of Fayette County was placed under martial law at 3 o'clock by Brig. Gen. F. (\ Marshall upon his arrival from Camp Taylor with 30<) troops of thb famous Finert: division, wty'ich .helped repulse .the Hermans at Chateau Thierry. , Rioting began this morning wheu a mob bent on lynching William Ijoekett, a negro, who confessed to the murder last week of ten-year-Old Geneva Ilard nvan, was flred upon with rifles and ma chiue guns by State militiamen as the mob was storming ithe Fayette County court bouse to got. the negro" during his trial. TThe attempt to lynch I.ookett was made just after he had confessed to the murder and as the" Jury found him guilty of murder in the first degree, -lie was sen-teiieed tn -die in the rt^T>trt<* chair March 11. The shooting temporarily dispersed the mob and gave the authorities time ill w?lileh ft? rush Lockett to a secret place of -safety, The mob reformed, however, and looted pawnshops and hard ware stores to get firearms. Following an attack ui>on the hand ful of national guardsmen on duty, the authorities appealed to Governor Mor row for assistance. As a result 300 troops, members of the Twenty-sixth and Twenty-eighth infantry, arrived at 3 o'clock on a special train from Camp Taylor, The federal troops immediately began the .work of patrolling the streets to keep crowds from congregating. Lockett, arrested last Tuesday night and held in the State penitentiary at Frankfort for safe keeping, was indicted last week .and was brought here on a special irain. Ffe was heavily guarded. Hundreds of fanners from the sur rounding country arrived early to at tend the trial, and sullenly watched the prisoner as he was marched from the train to the courthouse between lines of State troopers. Wheu the trial open ed, the court rootu was -crowded to ca pacity. Everyone /was searching for firearms before being admitted to the courthouse. Hundreds were unable to gain admission to -the court room and congregated in the street, in front of the courthouse. The cry, "Let's get him," from a brawny farmer on the outskirts of the crowd turned the crowd into a mob which began surging toward the en trance to the building. , -Soldiers ami po lice dropped back into close formation and trained w their guns on the mob, which never hesitated. Adjt. Gen. Deweese, in command of the militiamen, shouted a final warning to the crowd and then fired a revolver into the air. It was the signal for the troops to fire. Soldiers and police fired point blank into the crowd and a nearby machine gUn rattled. From the windows of the court room above another hai^ of bul lets spattered down oh the asphalt street. Four in en f<ill at the first volley, Tho mob, which ha<l surged halfway up .tho steps, pressed hack ami hroke. Quick action on the part of the authori ties got the negro out of the build ; in*. Foiled in its first attempt to get the prisoner, the mob* broke up into small crowds, Which paid hurried vkuts to all of the <pawnshops and hardware stores in the city in a quest for firearms. There were ominous muttering" on all sides. In some stores as many as fifty or sixty revolvers and guns were seized. Groups of men congregated ou the streets, and sought to learn the where abouts of, Lockett. ?The word that reg ular army troops were coming spread rapi<kly and no further violence was at tempt ed. Ixckett's arrest, indictment, trial and sentence sets a new record for rapidity in Kentucky. He was arrested lost Tuesday night, indicted Friday and was tried, found fruilty and soQfcenofcd in a few fninutea today. T'nder his sen tence he will die in the electric chair March 11. The little Ilarduion gitl-'s body was found mutilated in a cornfield last Tues# day morning soon after she had left home for school. Her head had been crushed with a stone and her body par ttally covered up wttto cornstalks.
