DEAD.
BirMINGHAM, Ala., Dec, 9.—Bir-
mingham is in mourning. A score
or more of her citizens, some of them
representative men, were shot down
last night by the Sheriff and his posse,
in defending 8 human fiend in the
county jail. Sheriff Smith, well know-
Ing the temper of the people, had plazed
» strong guard at the jall to prevent
Dick Howes, supposed to have mur-
dered his wife and child, from being
lynched, and had placed in their charge
a Gatling gun, About 12 o'clock a
great mob around the county jall
clamoring for Howes’s life began slowly
to press back the outer guard and
advanced down Twenty-first street to
the mouth of the alley leading to the
jail entrance.
This alley is about 100 feet long and
20 wide, and 1s the only approach to
the jail. When the crowd reached the
mouth of the alley Sheriff Smith, from
mside the jail door, warned them to
stand back time and time again. He
yelled to them to keep back, as they
would be fired on if they advanced up
the alley.
Finally he called out, *‘I will count
three. and if a man remains there in
the alley we will fire.”” He counted
three and the crowd fell back a little,
and the authorities did not give the
order to fire, This seemed to make the
mob bolder, and again they pressed up
the alley.
Sheriff Smith now yelled to them: *'I
will count five, and If you don’t fall
back we will fire,’ Ile counted five,
while the mob hooted, yelled and eon-
tinued to advance up the alley. Then
the officers opened fire, which was at
once returned by the mob. At least
one thousand shots were fired, and then
the meb fell back, leaving the ground
covered with dead and wounded men.
Several dead were hurriedly carried away
by their friends before being identified.
The scene after the shooting down of
the citizens, many of whom had
of curlosity, was simply beyond descrip-
tion. Many of the best and most sub-
stantial residents who had retired to
their homes, came out on hearing of
the shooting, and at 2,15 o'clock
fully 15,000 people had assem-
bled on decond avenue, They
sald they were in favor of the
law, but could not stand idiy by and
see the best young men of the town
shot down like dogs in defence of a
buman demon. Sheriff Smith said
this morning: **We begged and pleaded
with the crowd to keep back, and then
they fired the first
shots were fired by the crowd before

them to halt at the mouth of
the alley, and still they kept com-
fug on. We begged them to go
back and time and again warned
them we would shoot, but

jail door, and were shouting, “*Dyna-
mite, blow up the jail with dynamite.”
fire, I gave the order to fire. They
continued firiog after we ceased. I
feel that we could not have done any-
thing else under the elrcumstances, and
1 deeply regret the necessity,”
It is claimed by the crowd that the
officers fired first and continued to
shoot after the crowd began to dis-
perse. During the entire affair the
least excited man in the city, perhaps,
was Dick Hawes, the man the people
wanted to lynch.

distillery in the northern portion of
the city by means of dynamite, At
the hour mentioned the neighborhood
was shaken by a tremendous explosion,
shaking the bulldings in the neighbor-
hood, breaking many panes of glass In
the surrounding houses and causing the
people to rush into the street In great
alarm, Investigation showed thet a
bomb had been thrown, probably from
the street, into a detached warehouse
used ior storing high wines in, This
building was shattered so the hoops were
burst off many of the casks and the
heads were driven in. Very soon after-
wards s package, wrapped in paper,
was discovered lying in the street. It
contained several sticks of dynamite
and six fulminating caps. A fuse cone
nected with the package showed evi-
dence of having been lighted but had
gone out prematurely. These articles
are now in the possession of the police,
who are at work on the case,
A jagged hole, about three feet
square, was torn in the roof, and in
various other ways the structure was
damaged. Examination revealed the
fact that some person, evidently stand-
| ing on the high sidewalk on Hawthorn
| street, bad thrown upou the low roof
| of the bullding a package of dynamite
| sticks, tied together and attached to a
fuse which had been ignited. These

wrapped in pasteboard, and provided
with fulminating caps. The combina-

| ing to a peculiar chance that the entire
