Either because of the lateness of the hour or the strain of anxlety caused by events ocutside the barracks Cap- tain Bowen-Colthurst was not repri- mandeq_effectively and the -civilians detained were not rendered more se- cure, with the result, the report says, that Bowen-Colthurst was at liberty next morning to override or disregard the officer of the guard and deal with civillan prisoners as he pleased. In addition to F. Sheedy Skeffington, Fred McIntyre and Thomas Dickson were put to death at the orders of Captain Bowen-Colthurst. The cap- tain later was courtmartialed and found guilty, but declared insane. FEAR LYNCHINGS WiILL CAUSE TROUBLE AT PADUCAH Saloons Ordered Closed. and Extra Peace Officers Sworn In.
