Solicitor Addresses Crowd

– Solicitor Addresses Crowd. The court made an order as suggested by e solicitor. After this ruling Solici- tor Parks addressed the large crowd, which was now growing nervous. He earnestly advised Posit no further law- lessness occur, and said that he would use his influence to secure a speedy trial for the six accused men. Mr. Parks came to Montgomery tonight for the purpose of having a conference with the Governor tomorrow relative to a trial. He will ask the Governor to order the trial within thirty days. The fifteen men in jail and held blame- less were turned out, there being no other disposition to make of them. They were advised by some parties that it would be safer for them not to return to the Opp neighborhood, and it is said that they accordingly directed their steps in the opposite direction. The six men ordered held were brought to Montgomery in charge of Sheriff Brad- shaw and Deputies Prestwood and Dun- son. They left Andalusia at noon on a special train, which also conveyed the Greenville troops to their home. Frank Davis, one of the negroes brought to Montgomery, is dangerously wounded, having been shot in the first encounter at Opp last Wednesday. Not Safe at Andalusia. Solicitor Parks opposed the moving of Davis because of his wound, but the sheriff did not think it safe to leave the prisoner at Andalusia. Davis and his brother, Dick Davis, who was also brought here, are considered the leaders of the desperate gang now living. Six of the leaders were killed. It is not be- lieved that there will be further trouble in Covington unless the released negroes return to Opp. All of the negroes working in the tur- pentine still about Opp have been run out. The sheriff reports that Marshal At- kinson is still alive, but that his condi- tion is serious. – Solicitor Addresses Crowd. The court made an order as suggested by e solicitor.
