ther Similar Outrages.
Indianapolis, Sept. 17.—Concerning the
lynching of five men at Versailles, Gov-
ernor Mount said: “The place where
the 1Ynching took place being remote
from railroad or telegraph station, I
have been ‘unable to secure particulars
of the lamentable occurrence beyond the
information conveyed by press dis-
patches.
expected, and I had not the slightest
information of the impending lawless—
ness. As soon as I learned of the occur-
"renceI immediately wired the authori-
1'ties of Ripley county to proceed at once
'and vigorously to bring the offenders to
Justice. I intend to re-enforce this de-
‘mand by every means possible and with
all the power at the command of the
executive authority of the state. I have
sent a representative to the scene of
the tragedy and intend to employ every
proper effort to the end that no guilty
.man may escape. The people of In-
diana. are law abiding and I am confi-
dent that I shall be cordially sustained
in my earnest purpose to make an ex-
ample of evildoers in this instance that
will long remain a warning to other
would be transgressors.”
Excitement. at Versailles.
”Cincinnati, Sept. 17.—A Versailles
‘5(Ind.) special to The Times-Star says the
people in Versailles are still dazed more
than ever by the horror of the bloody
work of Tuesday night. No other topic
is discussed, except speculation as to
1the probability of action being taken to
arrest and punish the participants in
‘the mob. All agree that the plan was
deliberately laid. It is said by wit-
:nesses that from the time the two sig-
mal rockets were sent upon the out-
‘skirts of the town until the work of the
mob was completed and the men were
going home not more than 15 minutes
.elapsed. It is also said that the active
rparncxpar ts in the lynching did not ex-
iceed 15 or 20, though the men who were
1present as guards and helpers number-
'ed about 250. It is generally conceded
rthe organizers were Osgood men, though
sso far no one can be found who recog-
rnd'zed any of them. The apprehension
that further work is intended by the
organization still continues, and the
luckleSS man who gets into the Ver-
sailles jail will have reason to dread
the consequences.
{a «fin Awful Reckoning Ahead.
1' An Osgood (1nd.) special says: There
will be an awful reckoning for the
slaughter of the five men in the Ver-
sailles jail. All the victims have many
relatives and friends who have deter-
mined that. somebody must suffer to:
the wholesale lynching. Everybody here
feels that more blood will be shed.
There is a feeling that the mob acted
hastily as to Levi and Jenkins. The only
testimony against them was Hostet-
ter' 5 statement that they were involved
in the VVooley robbery.
The inquest was renewed today. Many
witnesses were called, but not one could
identify any one connected with the
mob. Circuit Judge New says that ev-
ery possible efl‘r 1t will be made by the
authorities to punish the mob partici-
pants.

A BULLET racer DEPUTY.
He \Vore 3. Suit of 11111" and Astounded
the liIoonshiners.
Jackson, Ky., Sept. 17.—J. W. Wooten.
a United States deputy marshal of
Breathitt county, was shot at andstruck
a dozen times in an encounter with
moonshiners on top of Jackson moun-
tain.
\Vooten stood still as a rock while the
leaden storm poured upon him, and
when two moonshiners had exhausted
the magazines of their guns rushed for-
ward and captured them single handed.
Wooten is the first man in the country
to introduce a shirt of mill as a protec-
tion from the bullets of moonshiners. He
came through the fight with scarcely a.
mark upon him. He stood within 50
yards of the men who were firing at
him, and took the desperate chance that
their aim would be so good that they
would not miss his chest. The two
moonshine-rs were amazed, and thinking
there was some supernatural protection
to Wooten they dropped their guns at
the word of command and were easily
captured.
A running fight has been in progress
for several years between revenue offi-
cers and‘the illicit distillers in the wild
district adjacent to Jackson.
The moonshiners have invariably had
the best of the fighting. They have
killed deputies and then hidden in the
hills until the next attack.‘ Wooten,
with four other officers, was ordered to
the top of a mountain to destroy a still
and capture the moonshiners. As they
approached the still two moonshiners
were seen coming out of the hut. The
four ofi‘icers with Wooten dropped back
While he. went forward alone. As he
came into the open he commanded the
moonshiners to throw up their hands,
but they opened fire on him with rifles.
When W'ooten had taken their guns
away from them, his brother officers
came forward and the moonshiners
were handcuffed and taken to Jackson.
Wooten had been reading of coats of
mail and he determined to have one
made that wou‘. turn bullets. He went
to a. firm in Cincinnati and explained
what he wanted. One of the firm’s
artisans conceived the idea of making
him an undershirt compOSed 4’ small
steel rings lapping each othe: some-
thing on the order of the feathers of a
bird. Wooten told the manager that
he would buy such a shirt if it was
guaranteed to be bullet proof, and if he
was allowed to‘fire a' rifle at it at a
distance of 50 yards before accepting it.
The workman who conceived the idea
of making the shirt told the manager
that he could afford to take the risk,
and accordingly the shirt was built.
It is thiee ply. the rings b'eing ad-
justed so that the garment is flexible,
and yet the steel wire of which the rings
are composed resisted the impact of a
.44 caliber bullet fired from a. rifle by
Wooten'at the specified distance.
Wooten hails from Quicksand, Ky.
He has been shot in the chest several
times.
