    3. Boston (Massachusetts) Post, September 5, 1874, p. 2. THE JEFFERSONVILLE (IN) TRAGEDY Jeffersonville, Ind., Sept. 4-At the examining trial yesterday, Clark and Lewis were held for the murder of August Gardner. They were sent from Henryville to (the) Charleston jail under a strong guard last night. It is reported that the counsel for the defendants will apply for a writ of habeas corpus. Should such an attempt be made, it is thought that a vigilance committee will hang them. If they undertake to take them from jail, it is most likely a fearful fight will follow as it is said the sheriff is determined to protect the prisoners at all hazards.
