January 25, 1906 Will Hixon, a white man who worked near the rape scene, tells Shipp that he saw a black man "twirling a leather strap around his finger" shortly before the rape. Hixon later calls Shipp to report having seen the suspect walking toward town. Shipp eventually finds the suspect, Ed Johnson, riding on an ice truck and arrests him. Shipp questions Johnson for three hours, but Johnson claims to know nothing of the rape. Over 1,500 people gather in the courtyard in front of the jail where they assume Johnson is being held. Many in the crowd have guns or rope. The lynch mob storms the jail. Tennessee Governor Cox orders the National Guard to protect the jail, but it is heavily damaged. Johnson, who had been moved to Nashville earlier in the day out of a concern that he might be lynched, is unharmed.

THE TRIAL AND APPEALS
February 6, 1906 Johnson is returned under a heavily-armed guard to Chattanooga for the start of his trial. Nevada Taylor testifies, identifying Johnson as her attacker. Will Hixon tells the jury, "This defendant here is the Negro I saw" with a strap in his hand. Johnson testifies that he was at the Last Chance Saloon at the time of the rape, a claim supported by a number of saloon patrons. February 7, 1906 The defense calls 17 additional witnesses, then rests. February 8, 1906 Taylor testifies for a second time. Asked by a juror whether she "can state positively that this is the Negro," Taylor answers, "I will not swear that he is the man, but I believe he is the Negro who assaulted me." A juror yells, "If I could get at him, I'd tear his heart out right now." Closing arguments are delivered and the case goes to the jury. February 9, 1906 After seven hours of deliberation, the jury returns its verdict of "Guilty." Judge McReynold's sentences Johnson __________________________________________________ to be hanged
