GREEN WAS LUCKY TO ESCAPE FROM ENRAGED PEOPLE

tittle Doubt But That He Would Have Been Shot or Lynched If Not Promptly Arrested. ASSAULT AND BATTERY IS THE PRESENT CHARGE Prosecutor Jessup Is Investigating and a Worse Charge May Be Filed Green Has Confessed His Guilt. A charge of assault and battery has been filed in the circuit court against isernard Green, the young colored man who last Saturday committed a vile offense against Hazel Harris, the three-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Harris. Prosecutor Jessup Is investigating the case and it is proba. ble that when he concludes this investigation he will place a more serious charge against , Green. It appears that Green did not actually commit a criminal assault on little Hazel Harris, but his actions with her are too vile to be mentioned. Green is badly frightened. This morning Attorney Henry U. Johnson, who has been retained to defend him, called-on the young negro at the city jail, but found him In such a nervous condition that no Intelligible statement could be secured from him. Had It not n for the prompt action of Sergeant McManus in arresting Green after the news of the assault spread about the north end of town, there is no doubt but that the negro would have been shot or lynched by the enraged neighbors of Mr. and Mrs. Harris. When Hazel Harris told her mother what Green had done she called In several of the neighbors, told them the child's tale and then summoned her husband home from the railroad Ehops. t One man carrying a rifle searched around for Mr. Harris to give him the gun that he could kill Green. Sergeant McManus arrived on the scene before this man could locate Mr. Harris. Other, neighbors searched about the neighborhood for the young negro. On all sides there were threats of lynching. Confesses His Guilt. McManus entered the Green home and while inquiring for Bernard Green the young negro suddenly entered the room. He was promptly siezed by McManus. At first Green denied any knowledge of the crime. McManus left the house with him and entered the Harris home. There he found Mr. Harris and several neighbors. McManus told the men that if any attempt was made against Green that he would do everything in his power to defend him. Little Hazel Harris was then brought before ' Green and she identified him as the man who had committed the assault upon her. At police headquarters Green broke down and told the police everything ; about the crime. He said that little I Hazel entered his home and that he en-1 ticed her to his bedroom. When he j and in sobs told her mother of the crime. Her disarranged clothing was the evidence to her story. In the city jail Sergeant McManus said to Green: "Who was that other girl you committed this crime against?" Green told him that he had never been gfiilty of such a crime before. "Don't lie to me. If you do, you'll get soaked all the worse," said the sergeant. In terror Green admitted that he had attempted a criminal assault on another little white girl, but said that he could not remember her name.

SUNDAY GOOD AT 0. B. Attendance on the Services Larger Than on Any Other Day. SCHOOL HAS ADDITIONS. THREE PERSONS VOLUNTEERED TO GO OUT AND SECURE NEW CLASSES FOR THEMSELVES MEETINGS HELD DAILY. Sunday was the best day yet in the revival being held in the U. B. church. The attendance at the preaching ser-l vices was larger than at any pervious meetings. There were seven additions to the Sunday school and three persons volunteered to go out and secure new classes for themselves. Meetings are to be held daily at 2:30 p. m. and 7:30 p. m. Mr. Shannon speaks and Mr. Eward sings at every meeting. Mr. Shannon's Sunday morning Displacement of theme was "The Evil." The text was Romans 12:2. "Be not overcome of evil but over come evil with good." The promises are to the overcomers and not to those who are overcome. We need not be victims but may be victors. We should be ashamed to be frequently overcome at the same point; some things should be settled forever. We are ab'e to be conquerors and even more than conquerors. The more we think nnd talk of our weaknesses the weaker we become. We should build ourselves up, or allow ourselves to be built up on positive lines and should declare to ourselves that we are gaining ground every day. Doubt flees from incoming faith. They cannot dwell together. We do not try to deai with darkness by any other method but by allowing light to come in. We cannot shovel out the dark but we can remove the hindrances to the entrance of light. in others by a faithful application of kindness. The way to overcome the anger of an enemy is to love him. We ought to know by this time that oppose anger with anger multiplies it. Sinfulness passes away as holiness enters. As uod tae Spirit is given sway in our lives self in its hideous-

ness vacates. Prt imu an a"acK ws intended upon No usurner or intruder can continue i the strike breakers, a semi-riot was to camp out anywhere in the domin- i caused and thousands of persons blockion of our being if God .is allowed to ed the car tracks. There was a call

For the fourth time in twcty-five months Daniel Fanning was arraigned in the city court this norning, charged with a violation of the Nicholson liquor law. "Fanning was charged with giving a half pint of wsiskey to James Kidwell on Sunday morning. Fanning ; entered a plea of not guilty and his defense was that Kidwell stole the ; liquor. Kidwell, on the witness stand stated that his principal occupation j was cleaning cuspidors in th? Fee and Fanning saloons. He stated that Fan-1 ning gave him the whiskey. Henry U. Johnson was Fanning's attorney and he tried to throw suspicion of the theft of the whiskey on Kidwell in cross examining him. Johnson tried to get Kidwell to adm't that he was a hard drinker but the old man refused to make this admission. Kidwell admitted that he had 5-erved time in the penitentiary for stealing a blan ket. In making his argument before Judge Converse, Prosecutor Jessup stated that inasmuch that this was the fourth time Fanning had been arrested for a violation of the liquor laws, he should not only be fined but given a jail sentence for good measure. Judge Converse ignored the demand of the state's attorney for a jail sentence and only assessed Fanning a fine of $25 and costs. Mr. Johnson then appealed the case and Fanning was released on $300 bond. Remmert's Testimony.

The New York local of the Commercial Telegraphers' union at a meeting Sunday voted unanimously to continue the strike against the Western Union and Postal Telegraph companies. The vote was taken upon the suggestion of President Small, who in messages to subordinate officers pointed out the inability of the general assembly to further flnp.nce the strike and recommended that locals In the various cities vote uoon the advisability of the men returning to work. The meeting was characterized by bitter exchanges between President Small and the other speakers. The latter charged the national leader with inconsistency In first claiming that the strike would be successfully financed and yesterday 'admitting that the general assembly was without funds and with having conducted the fight In a half-hearted dilatory manner. Small tried to explain his position, but was frequently interrupted by hisses. When he suddenly left the hall in the midst of the speech making, cries of "resign" followed him. Snail's Statement.

Saturday Commissioner ! Neill informed me that President Clowry had told him that further negotiations were futile. I believe what j they say. Our funds are quite exhausted. As you know, we were unable to make a payment to you yesterday. There is no more in sight. These are the facts, you can do as you will."
