'oliceman Rufus Whitson after the al-
eged officer had wounded Policeman
Sim Stephens and terrorized hotel
employes. The latest afTray came
while Sheriff Qaliigan was seeking mar
tial law in Herrin.
The dead man had given his name
as Joseph Phillips and also as John
son, and one said that he came from
Springfield, Illinois. He was accom
panied by two unidentified men, when
he was slain, who escaped. Phillips
wore a cap that belonged to SherifT

and a coroner's Jury had returned a
verdict that they killed each other.

fired in the Young shooting, had tak
en refuge in the Herrin Jail when
trouble had broken out between the
Herrin chief of police and the klan.

been taken Irom the jail and killed.
The reporters refused to Join in the
search, as they said they were con
vinced that Phillips and his com
panions had been drinking. Phillips
then went tc4 the hotel lobby and
telephoned to Glenn Fowler to come
to the hotel and be arrested. He told
Fowler that he was an officer named
