Tnesky continued cloudy, and gave every evidence ofan approaching storm, which broke about 1 P ™m., and for over half an hour the rain fell, after which, although the clouds did not —_ ar, yet no rain fel'. Atsa.m. there was a cousecration meet. ing held at the stand, led by Rev. Mr. Deale, Who, in the absence of the presiding eider, has had charge of thecamp.

Yes, sir; Icutsome wood for Capt Doughty ana aid some other little work about there. Last Saturday night I met that other man and I started out to look for work, but they cap- tored us a@t Quantico.

Q. How have you been feeling since the crowds have been sround here? Were you not afraid that they Would hang you? A. Well, if they had they would have bung an innocent man, for Caorist Knows that J didn’t do any murder, and was not there. O’NEAL’S ACCOUNT OF HIMSELF. O'Neal is about 5 feet 6 inches in height, Stouter built than Foster, about two shades lighter. He is much more pleasant spoken, i cheerful. His story is that he work near Westbury, Long Island, for a farmer, and having a desire to see his mother in Georgia, started to walk there. He started about 2th or 15th of July, and walked all the » With the ex- ception of about 40 miles, which he made on @ freight train, and on the way he did little jobs of work, and begged his way along. While walxing down the road he fell in com- pany with Foster, and was on his way to cut a wood for @ man when Mr. King errest- im. After escaping from the Potomac City ho- tel, as bas been related, and crossing the river in one of Gen. Fitz Lee's boats, they were overhauled by Messrs. Uaislup and Price at the cross roads, about 15 miles below this place. They arrived hereaboat 2o’clock on Monday, and were immediately commit- ted to Jail by Justice Boswell. THE THREATS OF LYNCHING. As soon as it became Known for what they bad been arrested there was great excite- ment toroughout this section, but no threats Were made thatday. On the following day Justice Boswell gave them a hearing, and at this time the excitement was very high, and it was thought that an attempt would be made to lynch them, but through the coun- sel of Judge Brent, the sheriff, Justice Bos- well, Col. Sam Cox, and others, the crowd was deterred from beet f the law into their own hands, at least until after it was ascer- tained for @ certainty as to whether they Were the guiliy U aptoned One of the state Ed er police boats has been lying here since uesday, the crew of which would have aided the authorities if necessary. NARROW ESCAPE OF THE TWO MEN. Fortunately for the prisorers Messrs. Evans and Gross, toe only two parsons who saw the two murderers in the store, positive- ly declared that these were not the men. Had it been otherwise some of the leading citizens here would have taken a hand io thehanging. At the hearing there was an immense crowd, #nd on the following days crowds came in to take a haud in the ex- cted execution, vat when assured that hese were pot the men wanted, the lynchers concluded to let the law take its course. Justice Boswell holds the prisoners for the action of the Virginia authorities, who may bring the charge of the larceny of the boat. It is now alleged that Foster With the othera robbed &@ countryman of 880 in money on the pight of the 15th of July—ata time when he says he was at Occoquan. c. ———— Gossip, News and Business.
