SALISBURY, Md. November 28—Using fire hose brought in | from surrounding communities, angry citizens of this usually tranquil | Eastern Shore area. drove members of the Maryland National Guard ; out of the downtown section of the city today, after four men, arrested as suspects in the George Armwood lynching, had been | spirited away in busses. The water was turned on the troopers after an all-morning battle between them and members of a mob that began forming before daybreak. Several times the guardsmen | were driven back to the armory, while members of the crowd played | their hose upon its walls and roofs, while hurling bricks and other | missiles from all directions. The guardsmen retired before the | barrage without firing a shot. Troops Ordered By Ritchie. ‘The troops. 300 members of the 5th Maryland Regiment, were ordered from Baltimore to Princess Anne by Gov. Albert C. Ritchie | shortly after midnight last night, in a surprise move to arrest the | alleged ringleaders in the lynching after local authorities had ! refused to take the men into custody. | In the midst of one of the battles, Gov. Ritchie, ill with a cold, | had his Secretary of State, David Winebrenner, put through an emergency call to Brig. Gen. Milton A. Reckord, adjutant general | of Maryland. | .

The Guardsmen left town after the | “big push” with water had sent them | through the downtown section, wet from head to foot. The townsmen con- tinued to play the hose upon them, but finally leaders of the troopers proposed a compromise.

CALLING OF GUARD FOR LYNCHING ARRESTS SCORED By the Assoclated Press, ANNAPOLIS, Md., November 28— | ©Outspoken criticism of the State's ac- tion in sending the National Guard into Somerset County to arrest nine men wanted in connection with the lynch- ing of George Armwood, Negro, was voiced by several members of the Gen- eral Assembly here today. “It was utterly uncalled for,” Senator Dudley G.

Hart were met here today by wipe out scars of its furious climax. Governors of other States, church leaders and other prominent persons in all parts of the Nation were among those who joined in lauding or con- demning the mob's action and the ap- proval of it by Gov. James ‘Rolph, jr., of California. Disapproval was expressed by Gov. Henry H. Blood of Utah, Gov. Henry Horner of Illinois, Gov. Pollard of Vir- ginia and William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor. Gov. W. H. Murray of Oklahoma declared the “citizens would not have taken the law into their own hands” if speedier prosecutions in the courts were assured. Rabbi Stephen S. Wise of New York | declared the lynchers were “more bar- baric” than their victims. Henry Darlington, rector of the Church of Heavenly Rest, New York, sent con-| gratulations to Gov. Rolph “on the| stand you have taken.” In view of Gov. Rolph’s declaration that he would immediately pardon any one convicted of the lynchings, officials frankly admitted the probability o(‘ prosecution was remote. Boast of Taking Part. Several young men were reported to have publicly oasted that tney took leading parts in dragging Thomas H. Thurmond and John M. Holmes, the accused kidnapers, from the county jail and hanging them to two elm trees in St. James Park. These reports drew no official recogni- | tion. District Attorney Fred L. Thomas | expressed regret at tne lynchings, but | said: “I dont see what we can do about it.” Work on repairs to the jail and other | buildings damaged by the mob was started and City Manager Claire Good- win announced the two trees from which Thurmond and Holmes were hanged will be uprooted and destroyed. Tne trees, slashed and torn by sou- venir seekers, were so badly damaged that gardeners expressed doubt if they would live. This fact and a desire to remove all | possible reminders of the mob's action led tc his decision, Goodwin said. Alex J. Hart, merchant and father of the 22-year-old kidnap victim, whose body was placed in the family vault yesterday, was among those regretting the mob action. Sympathizes With Kin. | “I am so overcome with my own | grief,” he said, “that I am unable to, think of that other terrible thing. My sympathy goes out to the families of those two men.” Gov. Rolph reaffirmed his approval of the action Sunday night “by the aroused people” of San Jose in a state- ment in San Prancisco last night. The Governor wired to Gov. Ross of Idaho that “conditions in California are very unsettled” because of the Iynchings and that he deemed it ad- visable not to go to Boise for a Gov- ernors’ conference. | Regarding the many messages of con- demnation and praise for his attitude, the Governor said that criticism was to be_expected. “Those criticizing me,” he added, “do | not realize what would have happened | had the National Guard moved in and had mowed down innocent citizens.” The Governor admitted that his threat to turn over all kidnapers in San | Quentin and Folsom Prisons to the peo- | ple of San Jose for punishment was not to be taken literally. He praised Sheriff William J. Emig and other officers for their efforts to save Thurmond and Holmes. “They did their duty as far as it was possible,” he said, “but the might of the people was determined to serve notice to the world that kidnaping and murder | will not be tolerated in California.” Sheriff in Hospital.
