Murderer.

JIM RHODES, who murdered The two ven
cradle Massies, man and wife. in Abe
marie last March, was arrested near New
port, Tenn, last week, and arrived in
Charlottesville last Friday. What led to
his arrest was curious. While skulking
in Aibemarle and Augusta after the MUIR
der he applied to d colored man in the for
Iner county to box him up and ship the
box 10 Cooke county, Port Of Tennes-
see." The negro afterwards told the Sher-
if this. The Commonwealth Attorney,
Micajah Woods, knowing the mans men,
DRY WAS in error got a postal guide to find
what looked most like it. He found New
port, Cooke county, Tennessee and at
once cent descriptions and letters to the
officials there. Rhodes had dyed his hair
and changed his whole appearance Three
weeks ago he married a Miss Fox and
went On spree spending a good deal OF
money. 1t attracted attention to him and
his arrest was the result. He offered the
officers $1,000 to release him.
