lin our Issue Of last week we |
copied an article from the Vicks !
burg Commercial, headed "Wanted
y Saloon" which stated John II. |
Chi!dlress had been arrested on
suspicion of having something to |
do with tine taking of Williams
We are pleased to state
that after thorough and mos.
searching Investigation his Honor
Mayor McGiii Of jackson, failed |
to dad any evidence for the state |
and Mr.. Childress was at once dis
charged. We are reliably in
formed by parties who heard all |
the evidence that the arrest un-
der the circumstances was a great
outrage. Lawyers say that under
certain circumstances q man can
recover damages. Wsuld this
not be good time for orr friend
