Mob violence in the case of a negro charged with assault of a white woman was averted 5/18 by quick action of law enforcement officers. Jesse Graves (right) is shown as he was transferred to the north Carolina central prison in Raleigh after being snatched away from Graham, N.C. where an angry mob attempted to get him away from police and sheriff's deputies.
