Asheville, N.C., Sept. 21 (AP)—Indictment of leader and members of the mob who participated in the assault upon the Buncombe county jail Saturday night was ordered by Judge John Oglesby in Superior Court today when he charged the grand jury.
J.E. Swain, Solicitor, declared that he will ask the indictment of those chiefly responsible for the storming of the jail when a mob of 2,000 people sought to capture Alvin Mansel, negro, arrested Saturday night for alleged criminal assault on a white woman.
