Bob Madkins, the negro who raped Mis Maiy Phillips on the 20:h inst wan captured Saturday night on the farm of K. A. Mattock, in the extreme northern part of Alamance county, by mayor W. A. Hall and Pr. J. K. Stoc.kaid, Jr. They located him and closed in on him about 9 o'clock. He at once confessed that he was the guilty man and told a tttraight tale from the beginning aud tituck to it. He was carried before the girl, who positively identified him without moment's hesitation. He also pointed Uer out as the woman he outraged. On b'eing carried to the scene of the crime he told how he caught her and uli-rn thev sc.ulHed and told which u'Q v ho wi n t iiiMt, the oPDosite on ''j from the way the searchers went The Durham Sun nays Madkins is an ivlet. who has inst finished a 3 years sentence, for house breaking, in the Alamance county work house. He had been working for S. H. Webb and rniliinf to return last week for a bal ..... 0 ance due him put the searchers on his track which resulted as above. At least 2,000 people gathered at Hurling ton Sunday to see him and to see what would be done. There was talk of lynching. bnt wiser counsels prevailed. E. H. Parker, the solicitor of that dis trict, made a speech, begging the peo ple to desist from doing violence and told them what the consequence would b;. The prisoner was turned over to the sheriff and carried to Urahain jail where extra precautions were taken to keep him and as speedy a trial given as is possible to get. The Bur lington Light Int'autry guarded the jail Sunday night. A special from Burlington to the Durham (ilobe says people camo Sun day by hundreds, from farms, from factories, from stores and dwellings. When the morning service was over at the churches hundreds , weut from these to the town. By afternoon the town was crowded. From the cala boose up and down the street the ve hicles and horses formed a perfect maze. It is estimated that 5,000 per sons were gathered. Pistols and guns r . . a,. were not scarce, many were ine threats against the negro and several attempts were made to shoot him in the calaboose. Sheriff Hamilton went from Graham in the afternoon, and demanded the prisoner. Dr. Rich aid Stockard was then guarding the lockup. He told the sheriff he could not get the prisoner. Furthermore, he stoo'd against the door with a pis tol in each hand and said that the first man who tried to take the priso ner from that house whould be shot. Several other guns were leveled at the guard house, and no one ventured to try to release the negro. The feeling grew hotter aud more intense all the time. Solicitor Parker was in the crowd. He stepped into the loft of a livery stable facing the calaboose and spoke to the crowd which quieted down and listened to him. He spoke of the gravity of the crime they pro posed to commit, and said if any of them should use force, or should as sault the prisoner, or should take his life, they would be guuty of a serious crime against the state. Any man who assisted in the taking of the pris oner's life would be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. The matter wonld be thoroughly investigated and the investigation and subsequent trial wonld cost the county 4 large sum of money. He said he would use all the means in his power to have a special session of the superior court called at nnoe. and the negro would be tried, convicted and hung by due process of l.w in a few weeks at the farthest. A term of the court might be called be fore June 15. Then sheriff Hamilton stepped tap and deputixod a aumber of the woiiM-Imi lyncher to ait him In taking the pri-wner.' Madkins ia 21 years old and weigh about 125 pounds, is of a copper color and has a very good face. One would not suppose by looking at his face that he wonld be guilty of such a heinous crime. He says he saw Misa Phillips coming down the road and said something to her, and she told him Li to awav or she Would tell her father and have him whipped. That made him mad and he attacked her. 'Slu got away from me twice," he said, "and the third time I dragged her across the road, and then accom plished my purpose. I didn't have a pistol, but told her I had and threaten ed to shoot her if she made any re sistance." When asked if he realized his position, Madkins answered that he did and expected that he wonld be hung but he supposed he would do the same thing over again if it hap pened as it did. This morning sheriffHamilton brought Madkins here, under an order issued by judge Hoke. The train did not ar rive until after 9 o'clock. It was de- laved a couple of hours at Durham. When it became known that Madkins was there a great crowd gathered. There was no sensation here upon hts arrival, as no one had an idea he would be brought to this city. He was in a few uiiuutes placed in jail. ' PERSONAL POINTS. ABOUT PROMINENT NORTH CAROLINIANS. People Who Come, People Who go and People You Know. THE CITY, The Weather Report.
