Sheriff McCainf of Albemarle, came up last night with a white man, who it?harged with murder and who was brought to Sal sbury jail for safe keeping. ? Yesterday morning at 2 o'c!ock a mob composed1- of white men. armed with picks, crowbars, lock- breaking tools c'and guns visited the. jail at Albemarle for the sup- post d purpose of lynching the negro, John Knots, who was awaiting trial for the killing of Dr. S. J. Love by poison. The Enterprite says: "Entrance was forced through the. west wall near the ground floor.? The crowd proceeded upstairs, broke the com bination lock, and the negro Knots was taken out and pushed through the hole. When Knots struck the ground he made a bold run." Sever al bbots were tired nnd . him, but it is not known if 'any took effect." Two of the shots struck in front of Mr. 1. W. Snuggs' residence, hitting very close to him and his son Henry. So far as is known, no man in the mob has been recogniz ed. The jail and fixtures have been damaged considerably, as it will cost a great deal to . repair the locks and iron cells." Sheriff McCain's family were immediately awakened, when the mob came up and Mrs. McCain was very nearly ; prostrated from the excitement. She was thrown into a violent chill, and her con dition made it necessary for the Sheriff to give his attention to her. The jail being damaged so as not to be safe and the idea pre vailing that the mob might return last night Sheriff McCain brought the white prisoner, charged with murder,to Salisbury for safe keep ing. - . ! '. It was thought by some that the mob did not intend to lynch Knots but to turn him loose. Sheriff Monroe received a phone message this morning which stated that it was understood in Albe marle that Knots was hung by the mob twenty-three miles from that place. Sheriff McCain returned to Albemarle to-day. He tells us the mob plead with him for the keys and when he refused . they threat ened him and failing in this they set to cutting their way through the jail wall: Some of the men wore masks, some did not. None were recognized by the sheriff. Infant Dead. - The infant of Mr. and Mrs. Lawson M. Kepley died yesterday at 3 o'clock The interment was made to day at St. Matthews church.
