Information has been received from
Crittenden county, Ark, to the effect that
the jury which has been investigating the
Punishment Of eighteen negroes by an
armed reorganization has made its re-
port. The result is the return OF nearly
forty indictments. The grand jury found
that anonymous notes had been sent to
a number Of white men by negroes, giving
the whites five days to leave the county.
Upon receiving the threatening epistles,
the whites met, armed and escorted out
OF the county the negroes implicated.
Among those who received orders TO quit
the county within five DAYS were Col. j.
+. Smith, the leading merchant OF Marion;
Sheriff WE. Werner, OF Crittenden county;
j. ii. Stevens, blacksmith; l.. +. Berry,
lawyer, and $. o. Mosby, former mags-
traie OF Marion. The grand jury succeed
ed In tracing the anonymous threats TO
the office OF the county clerk, David Fer
guson, one OF the eighteen negroes ban
ished. His Office was opened and frag-
ments OF anonymous notes, which evidently
had not seemed satisfactory, were found
on the floor. Experts pronounced the
handwriting to be that OF j. W. Ramsey,
n young South Carolina negro in the en-
ploy OF Ferguson Us a clerk. The immedi-
ate motive for the sending Of the warnings
was found in the fact that Ferguson and
ID. w. Lewis, the negro county Judge, had
been indicted by former grand jury for
habitual drunkenness, tho penalty for
which was removal from office. The in.
tention was TO create u reign Of terror and
break the force Of the prosecutions. Fer
guson was one OF the Arkansas alternates
TO the Republican national convention at
Chicago lie was serving his third term
a. clerk Of Crittenden county, an office
worth 5000 per year. The testimony be-
fore the grand jury was highly sensational.
