Officers uSed mofre tear' gas momentarily stopping the second attack. Waiting for the gas to lift, the mob stormed again, playing a fire hose on the building as they advanced. Doors Battered In Finally the steel doors were bat- tered in after a second group had taken up the work with more pipes Sheriff Emig was knocked sense- less and other officers were man- handled and brushed aside. The deputies persuaded the group to let Antone Serpa, recently convict- ed of manslaughter for the slay- ing of Leonard Ramonda, ranch foreman, alone. Mob Presses On The jail invaders pressed on and laid their hands on the whimpering Thurmund and, practically naked. dragged him to the street. Holmes, powerful and taciturn struggled as he was dragged from his_cell, but he likewise was pum- meled to the cheers and catcalls from the thousands of watchers. Then began the death march as the two men were dragged to the park and the officers were forced to give up the fight to retain the meh or save them. Men, women and children, and babes in arms watched the pro- ceedings. The throng was not un- like a carnival crowd as Thur- mond and Holmes were strung up to the limbs of trees. Feelings Aroused. The feelings of the San Jose citizens, who have been aroused for' several days, following the re- turn of Thurmond and Holmes from the San Francisco jail, where charges of kidnaping and of using the mails in making demands for a ransom were filed, went up yes- terday morning to further high pitch when it was announced that the body of Brooke Hart, kidnaped and slain 22-year-old son of Alex J. Hart, had been found floating in the San Francisco Bay near Hayward. Harold E. Stephens and Leonard L. Dalve, Redwood City duck hunters, found the body which was badly decomposed. Identifica- tion was made by friends and of- ficials of the store from the cloth- ing. Soon after there appeared a spirit of unrest and Sheriff Emig indicated he expected trouble. It was quiet, however, until early evening when suspicious signs bore 6ut the belief that a mob spirit was brewing. Gradually groups formed and then the mass attack an the jail began. No Arrests Made Not an arrest has been made as the result of the lynching. The bleeding, battered and stark naked Holmes was lifted on the shoulders of some of the execution- ers and the crowd was told to 1o0k. Some one applied the torch to Thurmond but the flames died. Officers said the rope of Holmes’s noosé was an expertly tied hang-! man’s knot. ‘Some of the crowd, according to repofts, knelt and prayed for Holmes'’s soul. Mrs. Hart 1l ‘The condition of Mrs. Hart isj serious and it is feared her mind might snap as the result of last, night’s developments. The parents of Holmes are grief stricken and still believe there son is innocent. He told them on their list visit to the jail: “I had no_part in this thing."” Trees Are Hacked the world of the great Klondike e e et e comaaal gold discovery, “Bob” was one of Daily Empire Wans Ads Ray. the first to join the big stampede. s The trees to which the two men !%d by Senator Hamilton Kean. of of souvenir hunters hacking bits STOCK MARKET Private funerals are planned for - the victims of the lynching episode.
