CAMBRIDGE, Md.,, November 30.— The judges who yesterday (freed the| four lynch suspects arrested by the National Guard will meet here tomor- row to plan procedure for the local’ investigation of the same crime. | Chief Judge John R.

The developments of the laSt three | days, including the use of troops and | arrest of the four, finally resulted in the victory of Robin's plan of procedure | over that sought by the Governor. For | today Gov. Ritchie at Annapolis an-| nounced that he had done all he could | do and the State administration would take no further part—other than to fur- nish its evidence for the grand jury investigation. That is what Robins has asked from the beginning. “From whatever point you look at 1t, the prosecution of this case now rests completely and wholly in the hands of the judiciary of the first judielal dis- trict,” said Gov. Ritchie. '“Under our constitution, the powers of the execu- | tive department and the Jovernor are sharply defined and limited.” The only evidence identifying al- leged participants in the lynching of the Negro, George Armwood, &t - cess Anne last month was secured by Attorney General Lane. It is in the form of afidavits made by State po- licemen who were swept aside himnu lynching mob that stormed the jail. Nine Originally Named. Nine men were named, but since then, according to Lane, two names have proved to be fictitious. Of the remaining seven, said Lane, four were arrested and three found absent when the troops reached Somerset County. The four arrested and released by the judges were William Thompson, Princess Anne druggist; Irving Ad- kins, special officer at Princess Anne: Wiliam Hearn of Shad Point and William McQuay of Pocomoke City. The names of the other three have not been divulged. | CALM REIGNS IN AREA. Eastern Shore Throngs Make Heroes of | Four Men Released. | BY PHILIP H. LOVE. . Btaff Correspondent of The Star. PRINCESS ANNE, Md., November 30. —Traditional Eastern Shore hospitality 1 returned to Somerset and Wicomico Counties today, after release of the four alleged participants in the Armwood lynching of October 18. From one end of the two counties to the other, everybody was so happy that even reporters and photographers were tolerated. In some circles, however, there was considerable talk of secession of the Eastern Shore counties from the rest of the State.
