An investigation by the police devel-

claimed to be related. That is, the

out of the usual run was that the three

IRWIN ROBERTS IN JAIL.
Caught In Hancock County and Re-
tnrned to Mountain City, May
be LynChed.

Officers Charles Robertson, BARI"
Moore, F. w. Davidson and ]. d. Car
ter, Of Scott County, Va, arrived in
Mountain City, Johnson County, hav-
ing in charge, Irwin Roberts, the all
lodged slayer OF Landon Crosswhite,
and placed him behind the bars in the
county Jail. As before stated in this
paper, Roberts waylsid and brutally
murdered, by shooting from ambush,
Landon Crosswhite, an aged and re-
spected citizen OF johnson County, on
December lst.
The officers have been on this trail
for several days, and didn't run him
down ill he had reached locality
five miles west Of Sneedville, Hancock
county.
He was making iol the home OF his
iather-in.law, Davy Lowell, who resides
at Pattonsville, as he thought, but the
old man had gone away, and when
Roberts learned this he was at sea and
was undecided as to what course to
pursue. From the way he roamed
about over the country one would con-
clude that he was unacquainted with
the movements of outlaws when they
are evading the officers of the law.
According to his story he Jared
roughly from the time he left his home
in Shady till he was in the clutches o.
the officers, and it is not probable thai
his future bed will be one OF downy
case.
He says he went from Shady, wher
the murder was committed, to Wal
lace's, near the home of his brother
There he remained two days in
dense woodland on the farm OF Mr.
Preston. While there his brother car
ried him something to eat two or thre
times day. He soon discovered tina
the officers were pursuing him yer.
closely, and made hasty departure
He went through Washington an
Scott and other counties till b
struck a road leading to Sneedvillt
He had with him blanket and an oil
bed quilt, which served as a bed seyel
al times when he camped out Som
nights he was fortunate enough to Sc
cure lodging with people who live
along the roadside, but would most a
ways leave before breakfast.
This quilt and blanket looked SUI
picious, and the officers had but littl
difficulty tracing him. They had ais
good description of the man, whic
was furnished by Chief Caldwell,
Bristol.
AT many places along the road h
would stop and inquire OF the peop
il they knew where Davy Lowell live'
He gave his name as Roberts at SON
places and as Miller at others,
He didn't exactly confess to I'll
murder of Crosswhite, but his conve
sation leads one to believe in h
guilt.
While talking to the officers he ash
ed: "lf man with a shotgun shou
be walking along the road and see 9
enemy riding along behind with a pi
toll drawn, wouldn't it be justifiab
murded to jump behind tree al
shoot the man with a pistol off h
