Not a single shot was fired as the rounds of the Invaded district were made. At 6:15 o'clock, ISO troops arrived from Camp Polk with five machine guns and a "baby" tank. They were immediately given rations and then detailed to outlying districts.

As they neared a railroad trestle which crosses the Inverness road, near Piedmont park, they were suddenly confronted by a negro, who, with pointed revolv er, ordered both to put up their hands. Mr, Childress, so the story as told the police goes, did ao, but his wife grappled with the negro. The hus band was unarmed and before he could go to his wife's aid the pistol was discharged. The first bullet did not take effect and the aged couple were backed down an embankment where the negro twice shot Mr. Chil dress, who fell to the ground, blood gushing from his wounda The woman, afraid to make an out cry, was dragged by her assailant to a lonely deserted spot. The negro later aimed his revolver at the woman and stated that he was going to kill her. "For God's sake spare my life so I may again .see my children," pleaded Mrs. Childress. Even his brutnal heart was touched, and, with a curse and a warning to keep her alienee, the negro started in the direction of the city. .- s ' n the meantime, the bullet riddled body, of Mr. Childress was found In the grassy gully by passersby.i It was found that the man still lived and ha was hurried to a hospital, where to day It was said the Injured man had an even chance for lite. - Mrs. Childress finally reached a point where she was able to summon help. Sheriff Flynt and the police were at once notified of the crime and started on the trail. After securing an incomplete de scription of the negro assailant from Mrs. Childress, Sheriff Flynt startad down the railroad track. After tak ing a few steps he noted nearby ,a negro who answered the description of the man wanted, . He called out to the negro to halt but received a bul let In his hand for an answer. A moment later he was shot through the neck. TJTien these stories reached the citl sens of the city .there came the rush. After' breaking Into several pawn shops end hardware stores, taking all firearms and ammultlon In sight, the jail was stormed and a negro prisoner wounded. He was not the one who .had been arrested as a suspect In the Childress ease, however, and his life was spared.

The police, In desperation, ordered the firs hose turned on the speedily growing crowd. Robert Toung, a re serve fireman, was detailed to the work, but was shot through the head a m,oment after beginning his work. The using of the hose broke -the final straw and ths general riot ensued. e MOONEY'S FATE NOW IS IN GOVERNOR'S HANDS ; San Francisco, Nov. It. Thqmas J.
