T,n
county in Georgia came here to-day with
a white man whom he had arrested some
place between here and Archer. All the
information we or any one else could
elicit from the Sheriff was that the pris-
oner had killed a man in Georgia ten
years ago, and had eluded arrest until the
present time. He declined to tell both
his own and the prisoners name, or even
in what part of Georgia the crime was
committed. We know Of no reason for
his reticence. He will leave this evening
for his home in Georgia.
