HOPE FOR NEAL AND CRAFT.
CINCINNATI, JEne Republication is
made here to day OF the arrest Monday
afternoon at Columbus, Ohio, of William
Dierly, negro, charged with the murder
of the Gibbons children at Ashland, Ken
lucky, December "a, 1881. Willie and
Robbie Gibbons and. Emma CARGO were
found dead in burning house. The girl
had been outraged. Three men were ar
rested, Geo. Ellis, William Neal and Ellis
Craft. Ellis made a confession upon
which he was convicted and sentenced to
hang, but was hung by mob. Neal and
Craft were also sentenced to hang, and
now await the decision of the governor as
to the day of execution. The arrest of
Dierly is upon circumstantial evidence
in connection with statements made by
Dierly himself. Two other colored men,
Dabney Jones and Reuben Kendall, are
implicated by Dierly, and warrants are
out for their arrest a shrewd colored de-
tective has been employed long time on
the case, and he claims to have had state
ments from Dierly in the nature of con-
fession which are corroborated in several
points by circumstantial evidence. One
of these is the finding of a bracelet belong
ing to one of the murdered girls in the
hands of a colored woman, who says she
received it from DierlY, and who says he
told her of the murder, and
that he found the bracelet and some
money and ring on the floor.
He gave the ring 10 another colored
woman who also has made a sworn state
ment that Dierly told her it belonged to
the murdered girl. Dierly at the time of
the murder was employed in brick yard
near Gibbons house. Dabney Jones was
then employed in Norton's iron works
near by, and both Dierly and Jones board
ed in 4 shanty near the river bank with
two colored women, one of whom received
the ring from Dierly. Almost Immediately
after the murder Dierly left Ashland, and
was hidden fer long time. He was then
heard of at Portsmouth, o., and finally
traced to Columbus, o., where the arrest
was made.
