charge against him for committing a rape on Ida May the 8 jear old daughter of A much greater and more brutal charge than that against the Danville who were hung last Friday night by a mob in swift vengence for their awful It was plain to be seen from the very beginning that the awful charge was not a and though Booe acted the part of and It was a much greater display of silliness than The charge gainst him is about as On Tuesday noon he went to his brother who married a sister of the outraged and with she was making her home in There was no one at home except the He wrote a note nd requested the child to deliver it for which she willingly started to when he called her took her up in his arms and going into a bedroom laid her down on a bed and committed his hellish all the papers

justice would not delay the case Booe having been under arrest since early in the and there having been plenty of time to secure all the witnesses Teegarden through his asked for a change of venue and wanted it sent out of the A delay of thirty minutes was while he was attempting to write an affidavit to the effect that Booe could not get justice in Mill which was indeed quite as honest John Gillum

a general talk of the Danville told too plainly that there was trouble Attorney Marshall recognised he talked with the honorable seemingly only awaited a leader to meet out He talked with young Teegarden and plead with him to have his client waive an examination and be bound Finally getting in dead earnest Andy here young you see this crowd They will string out for a half mile directly and hang your client if you don't us to get him out of But Teegarden didn't seem to care whether they hung Booe or not and continued to delay the case as it so all to papers were soon completed and several extra deputies sworn in to the prisoner the party reaching J o'clock Friday Justice was hauled out of liis peaceful slumbers and law converted into a court a few men who having heard of tlie

frightened as there had been a large crowd around all He asked if the officer had enough men to protect At the depot there was a large he told a iriend that he was but when questioned by marshal
