All morning & crowd of several hundred persons surrounded the morgue, where the bodies of Howard and Ethrington are held, awaiting word from relatives. The tele phone pole, from which the detective was hanged, Is guarded from the ravages of relic hunters, but before the city officlals encased 1t In shest iron, the pole had been hacked haif through by those who sought mementoes of the night's work. Adjutant General Waybrecht, Colonel Byron Bargar of tue Fourth regiment, Ohlo National guard, and Lieutenant Benjamin Chamberiain of Troop B, who came to Newark to make an Investigation of the affair, today returned to Columbus.

The heavy doors of the Lick- ing ‘county jall were battéred Zown and Etherington was dragged from his cell. He was shot, kicked and brulsed before the street was réached and the finish fol- lowed quickl: Fearing that the whim of the mob might take a new turn at any moment the police @t midnight released the six “dry’! detec- tives, They were turned loose, upon thelr uwn resources, and quickly disappeared. City and county authorities this morning avolded the question as to whether or not the mob leaders would be prosecuted.

Willlam Howard, proprie- tor of the “Last Chance" restaurant and former chlef of police, in & rald of alleged “speak easies,” this afternoon, and nar- rowly escaped lynching at that time. When news from the hospital that How- ard had died passed over the city at 9 o'clock tonlght the fury of the mob took definite form. Large battering rams were directed upon the doors of the Licking county fall and the deputies were power- less. The doors fell alter nearly an hour's attack. Crying piteously, Etherington, a curly- headed Kentucklan, who had been serving as o strike breaker since he was released from marine service three months ago, was Uragged forth. “1 dldn't mean to do it,”" he walled. ctigs fell upon deaf ears. Fearing that the mob spirit would not be sutistied by one victim, Sheriff Linke ims mediately asked Adjutant General We, Lrecht for troops to protect .six other “dry” raiders held at the city prison In another section of the town.

Ktherington Breaks Down, Etherington's last moments, while he heard the mob battering down the doors, werg spent In praying and writing a note 10 his parents, farmers reslding near Williamsburg, Ky. “What will mother say when she hears of this?' he kept moaning to the jaller. While the mob was battering down the doars, Etheringon was in his cell. In an attempt (0 commit sulcide he smothered his head in his coat and set fire to It. He was caught in time. In the melee a8 the mob was leaving the jall elght priscners, held for petty offenses, cseaped.. Oné réfused to leave. As Etheringtoa mounted the block ready for the Bwiig he was asked to make w speech. “1 want to warn all young fellows not to try to make a living the way I have done—by strike-breaking and taking jobe like this,” he declared. “I had better bave worked, and 1 wouldn't be here now. The swing of the rope cut him short. He hung there for an hour, while the crowd quietly left. After the first excitement there was no disorder. At the finish there were hundreds of women and little ohil. dren In the crowd, all eager to accomplish nis death. No member of the mob was masked, and no attempt was made o con- ceal their ldentity., The leaders were per- sonal friends of the dead man, Howard Did Not Kesist, Howard, it 18 charged, did not resist the Qetectives when they eatered his place o the outskirts of the city.
