Abstract
"Broder recalled one evening when he came down town to attend to some business for the jail. He heard some horses galloping by and the ringing of the city fire bell. 'I asked someone what was happening,' he said, 'and the man told me a mob was descending upon the jail intent on getting Sontag and Evans. I think it was about 8 o'clock in the evening. When I returned to the jail I discovered that Sheriff Kay and Undersheriff Bill Hall had been tipped off that plans were afoot to converge on the jail and had left earlier than scheduled for Fresno, taking Sontag and Evans with them."
