A NIGHT OF TERRGR FOR HIM
[looted and Jeered by His Fellow Prison-
ers While the Mob Outside Could Bo

List of Casualties.
COLUMBUS, 0., Oct. ill—Jasper Dolby,
the negro sentenced at Washington Court
House to 20 years’ imprisonment for a
criminal assault on a most estimable
White woman, an old lady, was landed in
the penitentiary today. He was escorted
here by Sheriff Cook and Deputy Busick.
accompanied on the train by the Colum.
bus companiesof the Ohio national guard.
The prisoner was taken from the train at
Dennison avenue, not coming into the
Union station, and walked to the prison,
onewall of which is on the avenue. The
military remained in the cars and Were
carried to the Union station. All troops
have left Washington Court House.
A Columbus Dispatch reporter who
came up with the train states that after
.. midnight thin gs at the courthouse quieted
"down very much.
The citizens had near-
ly all gone home. Yet many persons stood
on the neighboring corners until a much
later hour discussing the affair, as may
readily be imagined, in connection with
such a terrible sensation as the killing of
three men and the wounding of 11 others
by the military. Some of these people
who remained about the courthouse were
supposed to be in a plot to blow up the
building with dynamite. There had been
so much talk about ‘a possible occurrence
of that kind, based upon what seemed to
be reliable evidence. that the vigilance of
the guard was not relaxed in the least.
Trying Moments.
The military, all told, until 3:30 a. m.,.
numbered less than 100 men. Against
the surging hundreds of men who crowded
into or about the courthouse this small
band had kept up a determined front for
12 or 15 hours. Finally the First regi-
ment from Cincinnati and two companies
from the Fourteenth regiment from Co-
lumbus arrived at about 3:30 a. m. A
square was formed by the men of the
Fourteenth, and, escorted by the First,
the line of march to the cars was taken
up, the negro being in the square. He
had been in the courthouse about 12 hours,
the Officers not daring to attempt to re-
turn him to jail after the sentence had
been passed.
En route to the cars in the early morn-
ing nothing of interest occurred, except
that a good many people were still on the
streets. Beyond an occasional voice in the
stillness of the hour, uttering threats and
disapproval, the affair closed in a rather
Weird way.
Just before the troops left the death of
G. W. Johnston, or Mac Johnston, as the
reporter called him, was announced, mak-
ing three dead. He was shot in the stom-
ach. He lived at Kyle, Butler county, 0.
The old man. Frank Nioderhouse, aged
- 70, who was shot in the leg, necessitating
amputation, cannot survive. He was the
only prominent citizen injured. The other
injured memit would seem, belonged to
aclass whowou'ld be likely to get into a
place of thiskind. Theodore Ammerman.
aged 22, at last accounts is still in a crit-
ical condition.
‘ ’ Troops‘ Delay Criticised.
The re—enforcements called for by Sher-
iff 'Cook yesterday at 4 p. m. not arriving
until 3:30 this morning, and the shooting
of the citizens having occurred about 7 p.
m., has set on foot an investigation to as-
certain whether the cause of delay in ar-
rival of the re-enforcements was due to
the railroad company or military depart-
ment. It is proper to state that the sol-
diers had to be gathered from their re.
spective vocations or homes. The Colum-
bus companies were held here to wait for
a Marysville company and left at 11 p.
m. It is 39 miles to Washington Court
House. The train stopped at Mount Sterl-
ing, 23 miles from here, to pick up a com-
pany. ~
The Cincinnati troops, according to the
statement of p a railroad man, were to or-
rive at Washington Court House, by the
same line, but from the opposite direction,
and were to be timed so as to arrive simul-
taneously with the troops from Columbus.
Inquiry alone can determine the cause of
the delay in arrival. The criticism is that
a greater promptness on the part of some-
body might have saved the loss of life.
Dolby's Fearful Night.
WASHINGTON COURT HOUSE, Oct. 1,-
The prisoner William Dolby spent a night
of horror in the jail before his awful ex-
perience. The sight of the mob outside
the jail weakened him first. He lost all
hit: bravado and hurried to his cell. There
he passed a sleepless night, cowering on
the floor ofhhis cell, listening to the angry
mutterings of the mob outside, which
swelled ominously in volume as from ev-
ery village and hamlet the rising citizens-
ponred in to take vengeance on the match.
' When the other prisoners discovered
that Dolby was in the jail, they joined

~him and would have done him personal
‘injury if they had been able toreach him.
“They’s coming to get you, Dolby,”
shouted one, and the corridors of the jail
--resounded with the laughter of the other
prisoners.
'Another prisoner cried, “They are at
the door, Dolby, and one of them has a
rope. ” All through the night the prison-
ers kept jeering the terrified wretch. who
was, ashy white with fright, cowered in
the darkest corner of his cell, moaning
pitifully.

THE MUROOOOF GIBBS.
Mrs. Robinson Now Gives the Details
of the Ghastly Crime.
According to the Woman'I Story, ShOLDld
Not Fire a Shot—mud to Bob the
Murdered Mnn’I Pockets—An
Extraordinary Woman.
BUFFALO, Oct. 11.-—-'l'he reporters were
allowed to see and talk with Mrs. Sadie
Robinson. When questioned about the
details of the murder of Montgomery
Gibbs. she answered readily and with a
bluntness and sometimes with a flippancy
that made the listeners wonder what man-
ner of woman this was.
In the beginning she wanted it to be
distinctly understood that her husband
had fired all three shotk Asked if she was
frightened when she saw what had been
done, she said, “No; I thought it was bad
business, but I decided that I would havo
to be firm if Clarence’s life was to be saved;
and I dismissed the crime from my mind.
“Oh, gee!” said she. “I would have
fought an army in getting away from the
spot. Before Gibbs was shot I couldn't
have pulled the trigger of a revolver, but
MR. AND MRS. CLARENCE ROBINSON.
after—oh, heavensl—I would have shot 14
policemen or any man that stood in my,
way. I grasped my revolver ready tofight
to my death. Clarence didn’t speak a
word as we walked home empty handed.
but with a frightful crime on our souls.”
“Was it because you saw a man an
preaching you didn’t go through Gibbs’
pockets?”
“We saw no one approaching. but we
would not wait to rifle his pockets after
we shot him. It would be too risky.”
“Were you not afraid of being caught
in the act?”
“Not at all. We felt sure that Gibbs
would not cry out, and if he did we could
get away before being caught.”
Both Felt Sorry.
“Did you feel - sorry after the ,deed was
done?”
“I should say 'I did. I was sorry that
Clarence had shot him, and Clarence was
too. When we got to our rooms in North
Division street, Clarence threw his arms
around me and with tears in his eyes said:
‘My God, Sadie, just think of it. Up
there on the roadside lies that big, strap-
ping man, and perhaps he has a wife and
children who do not yet know what has
happened to him.’ ”
“Did you sleep any that night?”
“Not very much. By fits and starts I
dazed, but every few minutes I would
spring up in bed covered with perspira-
tion. Each time my eyes closed I could
see Gibbs on his knees, with Clarence a
little way of! pointing his revolver at the
man’s head and then the shot. 0 God,
it was awful!"
“Did Clarence sleep any?"
“Well, he pretended to, but I think he
was playing possum. H is eyes were closed
all right, but I don’t believe he slept. I
lay and tossed and moaned all night, but
the next morning when I read the papers
and knew that Gibbs was dead and had
died before any one had spoken to him I
Was relieved. ”
“Why?”
“ Why? Because dead men tell no tales,”
hissed the woman. and her face grew hard.
“We also read that Gibbs had $200 in
his clothes,” continued the desperate
woman.
“Weren’t you sorry you didn’t get a
piece of that?” _
“Yes, we were. We- wouldn’t have
taken it all. Ten or fifteen dollars would
have done us. We were starving, and we
Were desperate. ”
Robinson \Vroto to the Papers.
“Who wrote’ the letter to the newspa-
pars?”
“My husband did. Idon’t know which
one of us thought of that scheme. but I
remember I thought it was a good one.
We were prompted to write by the ac.
counts in the newspapers which said
something about Gibbs and some young
girl. We thought it would be a good
scheme to write the letter, and my huI-
baud wrote it. After I learned Gibbs was
dead I wasn’t worried a bit. I was quite
contented and seldom spoke of it to Clar-
ence or he to me. We were not at all
nervous and had no fear (of being caught; ’ '
Reference was then made to Archibald
Sisley, one of the witnesses brought here
from Cin‘veland, who is madly in love
with Sadie and says he will have Robin-
son electrocuted so he can marry her.
Sisley was the sweetheart of Mrs. Robin-
son’s sister, to whom she first made the
statement that Robinson shot Gibbs.
He was at Robinson’s house when Rob- ,
inson told of the murder to Bert Snyder.
He heard the whole story and Offered
his information to the police. Sadie was
asked if she would marry him.
“No, never, ” replied the prisoner ve-
hemently. “I would not. In the first
place, I don’t think Clarence will be elec-
trccuted. I think he will get imprison-
ment for life. But if he did get the chair
I wouldn’t marry Sisley, not if Clarence
was electrocuted athousand times. I love“
Clarence, and a woman can love but one
man.” '
“Did you and your husband commit
any burglaries in Buffalo before the
tragedy?”
“NO, we did not, and I never commit-
ted any crime in any city until that awful
night. I blame Flannigan for my down~
fall. Long ago he stole some clothes from
a clothesline, and I was blamed for it.
After that no one would give me any
work, for they thought I was dishonest.
‘ That started me on my downward careerr
as the books say. ”
Mrs. Robinson spends her time now
reading novels. Her mind seems to be
composed. and £133., appears happy.
