Crowds of excited people gathered about the jail determined to seize the prisoner and lynch him, but the sheriff adopted such precautions that no serious effort was made at a rescue. But popular feeling now took another form. It was determined to resist to the last any effort that might be made to secure the escape of the criminal under cover of alleged insanity.
