Sheriff Foils Lynching Mob At County Jail
A mob sought Tutt Barker alias Harris at the Walton county jail to seize a prisoner accused of assaulting Mrs Daniel. Sheriff Arnold, urged by citizens, defended the jail, while deputies aided in locating the suspect. A later identification by Mrs Daniel led to the arrest, and the mob ultimately dispersed without freeing the prisoner. The episode reflects heightened tension and praise for the sheriff's vigilance.
