The attack occurred at the woman’s home, six miles below Loxley. The negro returned to the convict camp, where he was arrested last Saturday night and confessed. Two officers hurried him to Bay Minette, county seat of Baldwin county. As they approached the jail seventy-five men came from behind a fence and took charge of the negro and carried him away.
