„ MOB CAPTURES PRISONERS AT COUNTY JAIL 1— , (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) The lynching victims were Thomf as Shipp, 18, ami Abraham Smith, “ 18. Smith's body was dangling > from the same maple tree where ’ lie was hanged by the infuriated . mob at about 9:30 last night, i Shipp was hanged in the jail yard, 1 his body cut down a while later : and dragged to the court house lawn to be hoisted up to another r maple, a grim reminder of the 1 night of terror. , Officers said the two negroes ■ and a companion, Herbert Cameri on, 16, confessed that on Wednes- ’ day night they shot and fatally wounded Claude Detter, 23, of Fair- • mount, and attacked his sweet- ■ heart, Miss Mary Ball, 19. t The negro youths were arrested Thursday morning. In the aftert noon crowds began forming about ■ the county jail. Word went out al! three negroes had confessed. Feel- ' ing begun running high. By nightfall*a crowd of 2.500 ■ persons was milling about in the ' vicinity of the jail. The story of how the negroes had held up Detter as he drove along a highway, dragged him from his car, robbed and shot him and then attacked Miss Ball, was retold over and over and with each re-telling the general anger grew in its intensity. About 9 o'clock Hoot Ball, father of Mary Ball, entered the jail to talk with Sheriff Jacob Campbell. About the same time a group of men arrived from Fairmount, Detter’s home town, It' miles from Marion. Ball remained in the jail a short time, then walked out into the crowd. He has been ill recently and was weak. The crowd jostled him and he fell. It was the signal for violence and within a few minutes the crowd, then numbering about 4,000, stormed the jail. It was estimated only about 75 men actually took part in the rioting, but hundreds of others packed about the jail shouting encouragement. Sheriff Campbell issued orders to his deputies to fire no shots, but police dubs were used freely and several heads were bruised. Tiie mob attacked in two places, one from the front of the jail, the other from the side. Tear gas bombs were tossed from the jail windows, but the supply soon was exhausted and they stopped the mob only temporarily. One bomb was picked up and hurled back into the jail where it exploded among 45 prisoners. Using crowbars and hammers, the mob ripped iron doors from their hinges, tore out windows, punched holes In the inside walls and forced Its way to the bull pen, where a dozen terror streiken negro prisoners knelt in prayer. Shipp and Smith were recognized immediately, dragged from the jail, beaten, kicked and hanged. Smith was taken a block away to the court house, shrieking in terror as he went. The rope with which he was hanged was 15 feet too long. The rioters tore the extra part into bits and passed them out as souvenirs. The crowd then returned to the jail for Cameron, who had been missed because no one recognized h'm among the dozen negro prisoners. All that was known was that he was young so the moh selected the, youngest prisoner they could find and dragged him to the court house. His life was saved -by a member of the mob who recognized him as a youth who had been in jail for”*fwo weeks. He was returned to the sheriff. Police reinforcements were arriving by that time from Anderson, Kokomo, Wabash, and Muncie and there was such a heavy guard , around the jail the crowd, satisfied to some extent over the death ' of two victims and somewhat horrified at its own act, did not attack again. At midnight, word arrived at the : sheriff’s home, which is in the jail, that an “indigatlon” meeting was ; being held in "Johnstown," that 1 section of Marion inhabited by the city's 1,800 negroes. Officers found 1 between 400 and 500 negroes meeting the open, listening to speeches in which the sheriff was criticized for ordering his men not to shoot when the mob attacked the jail. . The meeting was dispersed.

Coroner Stout arrived from his home at Upland early this morning. He went to the court house imi mediately and announced he would j cut down the bodies of Shipp and I Smith. About 1,000 persons, milling about the lawns, unable somehow to drag themselves away from • the vicinity of the two maples and > their gruesome "decorations.” de- ’ manded that the bodies be left up 1 and they were. Early today, Sheriff Campbell re- • fused to comment further than to declare he believed the situation ! was under control. Backed by the 60 additional police, he believed he ! could prevent further violence and said there appeared no immediate 1 danger of a race riot developing. Marion is a city ot about 30,000 ' population. To Probe Case Indianapolis, Aug. 8. — (U.R) —AtI torney General James M. Ogden announced today that he will send . two deputy attorneys general and i an investigator to Marion to aid local authorities in an effort to apprehend and prosecute the mob i leaders who hanged two negroes , there last night. [ Earl Stroup and Merle Wall, the . deputies assigned to the case, went to Marion this morning. I Troops Are Ready Indianapolis, Aug. 8. — (U.R) —Ad- . jutant General Manford G. Henley . today reported state troops prepared to go to Marion, where two • negroes were lynched by a mob , last night, it state help was needed, according to Governor Harry ; G. Leslie's secretary, L. O. Chasey. Cameron Is Safe Huntington. Ind., Aug. B—(UP) — Herbert Cameron, 16. only surviving negro of the three who were implicated in robbery of Claude Deeter, and attack upon his fiance, Miss Mary Ball. Wednesday night, was brought to the Huntington county jail today for safe-keep-ing. Robert Sullivan, 18-year-oIJ Negro who admitted complicity with Cameron, Thomas Shipp and Abram Smith, in previous robberies, was brought to Huntington with Cameron. o UNITED STATES MAKE BIG GAIN IN POPULATION • CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE’ with 2,234,274 for New York.
