Alfred FarnelI, Deputy Sheriff, arrived
at Bainbridge FRIDAY bringing Tom Nell
son, cOlOred, charged with burning the
Mckenzie house last year. Soon after
the crime was committed the prisoner
left for Florida. A reward of $500 was
offered for his arrest-S250 by the Gov
ernOr, and the same amount by the Hart
ford Conn. Insurance Company. Hear
ing the fugitive was in Camden county,
Fla, the Sheriff sent Deputy Farnell after
him. Disgusting himself Deputy Farnell
went to Folkstown, Fla, left the train
and footed it to Burntfoot, Sathillo river,
IL miles distant, thence on foot to Ovens
ferry fort, 30 miles. Then he heard that
the man was at Hazards neck, between
big and little Sathillo rivers. Well know
ing the cute and cunning craft of the
criminal, he assumed the character OF a
surveyor, and engaging the services OF a
MIR. Howell, the county surveyor, and the
cOlored Deputy Sheriff, Adam Sibley, be
set out ostensibly to survey Hazards
neck, 80 miles away. On foot they tOiled
to the place and proceeded to business.
After two days hard work they surveyed
up to the very spot where the unsuspect-
ing fugitive was cutting turpentine
boxes. and the deputy arrested him. The
amazement of his co-surveyors, from
whom he had withheld his mission, was,
he says, ineXpressible. The negro had
been working under the name of Will
liams. Proof of his completely, if not the
real perpetrator of the crime. is strong g
and pointed. The case will be investi-
gated before the grand jury this week.
