Five masked men appeared at the city jail Tuesday nighi about midnight and demanded of Jailer Glynn, Chas.

Letcher. They came up the alley on horseback and dismounted at the foot of the. stairs. The fifth man held the horses while the others mounted the stairway leading to the court room and then crossed to the jailer's room in the southeast corner of the building. They pounded on the door and awakened Glynn.

He got up and went to the door. When he opened it he was confronted by the men who were un-recognizable by their black masks. They asked him for Letcher and Glynn (old them that they could not have him. They became obdurate and Glynn told them to wait a momen'l. He stepped back into the room and 'phoned to pj'ice headquarters for officers.

Six of theme were sent across the street to the jailer's assistance and tthe men rode away. It is thought they belonged to a body of who came in from the country last night for the purpose of witnessing the death of Alexander and being disappointed, determined to hold their own lynching bee. Le'teher and other prisoners in the jail were awakened by the noise made by the heavy tread of the men across the floor of the court room and the negro who occupies a cell by himself was frightened. He had heard of the burning of Alexander and was sure his time had come. To one of the officers Headquarters dence cheerfully solicited and prompt attenr.on io ouisiub the county jail.

I did not know until 1 reached there what was wanted of me. When I arrived at the jail I was sworn in as a deputy sheriff by Sheriff Everhardy and given my instructions. "We left the jail for the penitentiary where Alexander was delivered into the hands of the sheriff. The rest every one knows- I simply did my duty as a deputy sheriff and assisted in getting the man into the jail. I did not have anything to do with getting him out.

"During the burning of the brute I was a spectator and I am satisfied with the punishment that was meted out to him. "The only evidence given us the newspapers have given and if there is any more why don't they publish it and erase the doubt of those who think that Alexander vai innocent of the charges of which he was accused and for which he has paid the penalty." Hiss Roth was also seen and said: "I know that Fred Alexander was the man who assaulted me but I have not seen the evidence that convicts him of the Forbes I think day night when he was taken away. He was so ill that he was forced to go to bed and his son, Dr. Jake Everhardy was in constant attendance on him throughout the night. When seen by a newspaper man yesterday morning shortly after he had risen, the sheriff looked as if he had just recovered from a long and serious illness.

He was seated in a large rocking chair in the sitting room of his residence at the jail reading newspaper accounts of the assault on his jail yesterday and the comments. that were being mada on his actions. He shook hands with the representative of the press and requested him to be seated. "You have no idea what a trial I have had since Saturday night," said the county official, "and I never want such another experience. Those who condemn me should place themselves in my position and think what they would have done.

I am being criticised, but is there anyone who can say that I have not done my duty? I did my duty so far as lay within my power, but I was overwhelmed by superior numbers. 1 told the warden at the penitentiary that I would land Alexander in the county jail and I did it. I do not 'think the people of Leavenworth thought I was able to do so, but I was determined. When I realized that the crowrd was bent on getting my prisoner, I stood in the eariage and called 'to the driver to 1 HOLEN BROTHERS, IHS RELIABLE IPX-jTT JVC BIERS. rif9 th, fot had not yet recovered their equilibrium after Tuesday's horrible truge-di The wildest rumor was one which was more generally circulated than any of the rest- "A mob of fifty negroes has been organized and will wreak vengeance on the sheriff was the startling report which spread rapidly all over the city.

The sheriff was notified and all night armed men kept a close look out at the county jail but no attempt was made on it by the colored people and it is very improbable that any such action ever entered into the Uioughts of a single colored man of Leavenworth. There was no sign of a demonstration by the colored people of the city. Though there were about the usual number seen cn the streets they were quietly attending to their business and no consulting or plotting could be seen. Early in the day the report was started that William Forbes, the father of the murdered girl, had gone crazy, but this story was absolutely without foundation. He was at work at the foundry as usual.

Another report had it that George Wills, a young red fellow, was spoken to by Alexander just before the torch was applied and that he th be --O 'OOOO'O 00 i- Tur A A HAT Cf that within could be heard plainly throughout the mass of people standing on the court house steps 75 yards away.

One of the leaders' in Tuesday's awful burning, called at the police station last night about 7 o'clock in a very badly frightened condition.

There was as little truth in this report as in the others. Alexander, while tied to the stake, and only a few minutes before the fire was lighted, noticed a young white fellow standing near him and said, "Hello, George." The young fellow who was an old acquaintance of Alexander, replied to the salutation but Wills was no where near the stake when the match was applied.

MISS THOLE NOT POSITIVE. It was reported yesterday that Miss Lydia Thole had positively identified Alexander at the penitentiary Tuesday afternoon as the brute who attempted to assault her on Labor day ni -ht last fall. Miss Thole did not identify Alexander positively as her assailant, tout used these words when confronted with the negro: "That looks like the man A reporter for The Times visited the Thole home last night. The young lady wass ill, but her sister spoke for her. It seems that Miss Thole while returning from the city about 7:30 o'clock Labor day night was assaulted near the Maplewood school.

"Her cowardly assailant was a colored man. He grabbed her by the neck and in the short struggle that ensued the young lady screamed. This frightened the brute. A buggy was corning up tne road and he made off. All efforts to trace the scoundrel failed.

This happened four months ago and William Mooney, a prisoner was standing near and saw the fight with Alexander. Mooney says that when the men attempted to seize the negro he shewed fight and hit one of his assailants a heavy blow in the eye. Then some one hit Alexander on the head with a hatchet, wounding him so severely that blood spattered in every direction. This quelled the prisoner and the crowd began to council moderation. "Don't hurt him," some of them cried, but in spite of this several struck the negro with clubs and pocket knives as he was being dragged out into the jail enclosure, inflicting a number of ugly cuts.

The people composing the mob were frantic throughout the assault and did some very foolish acts, such as the breaking down of a wooden door to the sheriff's dining room that had not been locked. One man. after gaining entrance to the sitting room of the sheriff's compartments, ran over to the telephone and tried to cut the wires, but Mrs. Everhardy went over to him and asked why he wished to do that. The question brought the fellow to his senses and he disappeared from the room.

Several articles of furniture in the residence portion of cie cemetery yesterday afternoon. After the coroner's jury had viewed the body, the lid was put on the coffin, screwed i down and the box placed in a wagon. I With only the driver accompanying it, the body was taken to the cemetery. There it was unceremoniously dumped into the grave and covered over. The brother of Alexander visited Sexton's yesterday mcir.ing and saw the body.

The family refused to bury the boy. Alexander said: "The people have burned him, now let them bury him." i One of Alexander's hands, which it -was thought had been carried away as a souvenir, was found yesterday by Dr. Everhardy in the ash heap at the base of the iron rail to which Alexander was bound. It was charred and clinched so that it looked as if the fingers had been dug into the flesh of the" palm. It was placed on Alexander's breast and buried with out did not murder anyone.

Yesterday when the food was brought in for the prisoners, Letcher was brought out of his cell and given a. plane of soup. After taking a few-spoonsful he left the table and returned to his cage and would not come but until the jailer assured him that he was not going to be harmed. Letcher was arrested by Officer Glynn and his i life was saved by the refusal of tha; official to give him over to the men who demanded him Tuesday night. A TERRIFIC ATTACK.

Early yesterday morning before the sheriff and his family were throuoghly awankened from the trying ordeal of Tuesday and Tuesday night, crowds of curious pecple began to gather around the county jail to view the damage done by the mob of Tuesday. Great iron doors were torn off as if they had been of paper and bolts twisted out of shape. The first door encountered by 'the mob was on the south side of the building. This was of wool, but barred with iron and heavily bolted. While the sheriff and the party stood at the west double door, the mob pushed against the wooden door and it gave way with a crash.

The first door to the cell room was then assailed. This was of iron bars one inch in thickness and with such an immense lock that opening it by picking, as tried by one cf the mob, was an impossibility. Then rails from the car barn ea-ross the way were called into requisition and battered against it. The lock did not yield, but the upper portion of th? door bent inward and over this several cf the mob climbed. This led intr the dining room for the prisoners and there the man found a closet in which blankets were kept.

As the door to this was locked a man ran over and placed a revolver to the key hole and would have pulled the trigger, but other grabbed the weapon, realizing that one shot would JOS. A. ECKERT.

Another participant, it is said, is also thoroughly scared and has not left his home. WHERE ARE THE PROOFS?

STAYED WITH HER FATHER. When the mob began cheering at the approach -of the carriage containing Alexander, the sheriff's family stood on the front porch and looked on. Wrhen they realized that the crowd was bent on following the prisoner to the doors they ran in, but Mamie Everhardy, the sheriff's eldest daughter, did not get through in time and was locked out.

When the people came to the door the young lady stood with her back to them facing the door with her hands on the knob and the sheriff stood beside her. She was noticed by pome of the officers in the building and a window was quickly raised to assist her in getting into the room, but she refused to accept the invitation. She said.

The people have not been told by those who were interrogating Alexander at the penitentiary, whether they took any steps to verify or prove the faisity of the fellow's statements. The whole proceedings have been very secret and it wis a matter of vital importance to the public who had a perfect right to know what was being done. A LAMENTABLE FEATURE. PERSONAL young lady could positively identify the man if presented to her. Tuesday afternoon at the request of the officials, Miss Thole, accompanied by her sister, visited the prison with the intention of identifying Alexander.

The "wretch had just been taken through the sally port on his way to the carriages. Passing Miss Thole the scoundrel hung is head.

ROTH A SPECTATOR- WThen seen by a representative of The Times about 9:13 last night John Roth said: "I am satisfied that Fred Alexander was the man who assaulted my but as to his being the man who murdered Pearl Forbes, I cannot say.

I have heard a great deal of newspaper talk as to their having evidence that would prove his guilt beyond a doubt, but none of this evidence has been shown me.

This is not locked during the day time, but a heavy bolt running down from the ceiling and which can be raised from the first hallway secured it. Some man in the crowd well acquainted with the jail, called through the broken door to others in the hall to puil down on the lever and this barricade was removed. Alexander was in the first cell on the left on the ground floor in the main prison.

WHY HE WAS BROUGHT HERE. Why was Alexander brought to town, when it Was certain that he would be lynched? is the question that has not been settled in the minds of many. Alexander was brought to town for the purpose of being arraigned in the city court, on the charge of assault with intent to commit rape, preferred against him by John Roth, father of Miss Eva Roth. The complaint against him was sworn out Sunday afternoon and served on him at the penitentiary the same night. A warrant orders the marshal or the sheriff to bring his prisoner to the court forthwith.

This, of course, could not have been done Sunday or Monday, but it was thought that Tuesday his arraignment could be had Judge Moore therefore set the time for the case at 2 o'clock in the afternoon and ordered the sheriff to bring the prisoner into court at that time. Judge Moore sat in the court room all the while waiting for the prisoner to be brought in. The mob got at Alexander first. WANTS NO REWARD. Officer McDonald, to whom the credit for the arrest of Alexander is due has already received several letters from women in Leavenworth congratulating him on his work and stating that the writers now felt safe when walking along the streets at nights.

Mike has been asked several times whether he would put in a claim tor the $600 reward offered by the city. FORT LEAVENWORTH One of the lamentable features of the lynching of Alexander was the presence at the execution of the brute of hundreds of little children. Many of these were between the ages of 8 and 14 and they were every where in evidence. They crowded around the spot where the arrangements were being made for the During and the air was filled with the sound of their youthful shouts and laughter. They had no conception of the awful significance of the scene and treated it as lightly as they would the roasting of a beef.

An attempt was made at several of the schools to keep the pupils at the school, but it could not be done. The children, many of them, wenl directly WANTED THE HANDCUFFS. Warden Tomlinson sent an officer in from the penitentiary yesterday to obtain the handcuffs that had been placed" on Alexander when he was taken from the penitentiary. The pair were not removed from the prisoner when- he was thrown into his cell by the deputies and he was burned with them on. They were removed by relic hunters Tuesday night before, the flames had finished their ork of burning the body and the sheriff is now trying to obtain a trace of them.

The estimates as to the size of the crowd which witnessed the lynching of Alexander vary largely. The lowest estimates place the number of people at 5,000 While many place it as high as 12,000.

The general opinion seems to be that there were about eight or nine had been shoved into that place, but 'the negro crouched in the southwest corner of the cell so closely that he was not seen. It was at this stage of the assault that the men ran out of the place and up stairs into the women's corridor, thinking Alexander had been placed there for safety. A door here was broken down, and a thorough search was made. Kot finding their victim, the men ran back down stairs and called out that th negro was placed in a tunnel leading 'to the court house, but again a man who had seen Alexander placed in the first cell told that he was surely there. While the men were at work on the inside those on the outside who could not gain admittance, ran around to the southwest corner of the stockade and down the twenty foot gate, gaining access to the jail yard.

A door of cuarter inch sheet iron hung on three hinges made of iron three inches in width, and one-half inch in thickness, led from the yard into the jail. This had every appearance of being able to resist an army of men with sledge hammers and for moment the leaders in the crowd hesitated, but not for long.
