The many hesitated a moment.

"Quick Flee with me or die," declared the girl. The young man fled with the girl in her motor car, Next day he sent back the pistol to the girl's father with a note saking him to fetch his daughter at once. The police were already seeking the young fugitive, but the girl, delighted at figuring as the heroine of a kidnapping' episode, went home happy with a promise that as soon as she is of age she will be allowed to manry Marchesi.

Mr. Deaton refused to allow Woods and two women to ride in his motor-car, and his body, with a billet in the brain, was found on the highway the following day.

Owing to the public excitement over the crime, Woods was transfer- red to the gaol at Whitesburg. The gaol is in charge of a woman, Mrs. Fess Whittaker...

Next morning a procusion of 150 motor-cars halted outside the prison. A mob, of unmasked men sawed through the iron bars, placed a chain around the Negro's neck and led him to the mountains.
