WORK PROGRESSING NICBLT
I Man* Under Way For Rapidly Pin
ching Great Memorial i
Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 5. ? Hollins N.
Randolph, president of the Stone
Mountain Memorial, on Saturday t|?
nued the following progress report to
the public;
*Since December 10, wbeh work
was resumed, twenty thousand cubic
feet of granite has been removed
from the precipice of Stone Moun
tain. The granite removed was from
the neck, .shoulder and flank ,of 'Old
Traveler,' General Lee'a horse. This
part v of the carving has therefore
been advanced at a most gratifying
rate.
"This is an average of about four
hundred cubic feet per day eince the
work was resumed fifty days ago.
The cost per foot has been substan
tially less than it ever wa?j in the
previous operations, according to the
report of the Association's engineers.
"Plana hive been perfected to en
large the working force on the moun
tain in the next thirty days or there
about*, so that by March the carving
operations should be going in full
blast. The carving will be pushed
forward with the utmost possible
rapidity Until tho central group is
finished.
"Mr. Lukemun believes the central
group can be carved inside of two
years. He and Mr. Robert, chafyuan
of the board of consulting engineers,
h^ve worked out plana for movable
platforms embracing practically the
entire. carving area, so that operations
can be conducted ort' a muximum scale.
"As previously announced, the as
sociation has raised in cash and fpod
pledges an amount sufficient to carve
tho'eentral group, thus definitely as
suring the first unit of the project."

Teair Uiio Used la Disperse lrut?Ot

V \
Georgetown, I>el.t Feb. , 8.? Dela
ware National Guardsmen were forced
to resort to tear gas bombs today to
protect Harry Uutler, 8) year old
negro from a crowd of threatening
v-ituens who surged about the court
house during his trial on charge* of
crimiually assaulting a 12 year old
girl. v
Three guardsmen and a young
woman were overcome by tjhe fumes
as the bombs were hurled into the
crowd of more than 2,000 persons by
members of the Ninety-eighth anti
aircraft artillery, who were stationed
here untit tonight. After the crowd
had been dispersed quiet settled down
over the little town and tonight there
was no indication of further trouble.
Butler, whose trial was started
shortly after 10 o'clock this morning,
was Convicted by a jury of Sussex
county farmers a few minutes after
?4 o'clock*, He was sentenced to be
hanged in the yard <of the county jail
here Friday, February 26, between 10
and 3 o'clock.
Threats had been made against the
negro and three companies of Nation
al Guardsmen were sent here, to pre
vent possible trouble during his trial,
and barbed wiire barriers were erected
about the court house.
Kxpicssion of fear that th$ jury
and the court might be influenced by
the negro's youth and threats to break
through the barriers to gain custody
of the prisoner were heard as tho
crpwd gathered about the court house.
When the crowd surged and pushed
against the barbed wire barriers most,
of the 24 leaded machine guns erected
to guard the court house were con
centrated on them. Officers, includ
ing tyaj. B. I. Duncan of .Wilmington;
who was in direct command of the
troops, attempted to persuade the
throng to. -leave the vicinjty of the
barriers. The more the officers
talked the more infuriated the crowd
became. Several of the men seized
one of the guards and threw him to
the ground. These men were arrested
but were released tonight. .
Immediately after this occurrence,
orders were issued to the guardsmen
to don gas masks and throw tear gas
bohibs. From the roof of the court
house the bombs immediately were
released, sending the choking fumes
up and down the street* Other guards
on the ground threw their bombs and
in a few minutes the vicinity of the
court house with its barbed wired
entanglements and breast works Of
sand bags, behind which were machine
guns, resembled a sector of No Man's
Land. ?'
The crowd broke, runriing in all
directions. Men, women and boys
were trampled and some were badly.,
bruised. A number were affected by ?
the fumes.
When the gas mists :h?d drifted
away, one guardsman was found, lying
on the ground and two others groping
their way along the court house tern*
porarily blinded.
The man on the ground was Pri
vate E^ugene Smallwood of. Wilming
ton, a member of Battery B, who said
he did not have a gas mask. After
first aid treatment in the court House,
officers said his lungs, eyes and heart
had been seriously affected. He was
taken to Wilmington tonight.
The other two guard men were made
ill for some time but were out of
danger tonight.
The young woman affected- by the
fumes was Blanche Sirman of Bethel,
.Del, a daughter of the Sussex c.ounty
recorder of deeds, who was walking
past the court house when the bomb
ing. started. ' ?
The tear gas did not dampen the
spirit of the crowd, most of whom
Teturned and threatened to dynamite
the barriers if they were not per
mitted tb enter the court house. ' Fif
teen state highway police mingled
among the throng, picked out the ring
leaders iand ushered them out ? of
town.
Butler himself was the only defense
witness called, lie was represented
by two attorneys appointed by the
court. With a smile he admitted as
saulting the girl. He received the
verdict and death sentence without
show of emotion. The hanging will
be the first in this county in 29 years.
Butler's crime was committed Jan
uary 21 last. He enticed the girl to
take a walk with him and when near
ing a woods he struck her on the head
with a board. Then he carried her
into the woods where he attacked her,
stuffed the mouth of the unconscious
girl with mud and left her lying in
a ditch. The day was bitterly cold.
/She was discovered unconscious sev
eral hours later by her father.
The girl is still in Milford Emer
gency hospital with her skull frac
tured in seven places. She has severe
interna^ injuries and . has lost her
?peech,'%hhough it is said this may
be regained. She may lose the sight
