ROBINSON ARRESTED FOR MURDER.
Charged with Killing a Woman in Charles
CITY County.

For several DAYS past the police of the
city have been on the lookout for negro
named James Robinson, who is charged
with the murder of a colored wo-
man named Elsie Ross, in Charles
City county. 1t was believed by
the Sheriff that he had made his
wav towards Richmond and Major
Poe was accordingly notified. Officer
John T. Hall has been on the qti r,re for
the accused for some time past. but the
honor OF the criminals arrest was destined
for others than the shrewd policeman.
Last night about 10 o'clock Robinson was
captured at Fort Lee, station about
seven miles from Richmond. by Messrs.
George ". Clark and X. W. Baber.
One of the gentlemen is "a telegraph
operator and he had heard that Officer
Hall was in the neighborhood looking for
the negro, so ne kept his eyes open, too.
Receiving information as to the fugitive's
whereabouts he went to the place with
his friend and took the man into custody.
The prisoner was brought 10 Rich
mOnd in wagon last night and was
lodged in the county Jail Just before mid
night. On the way to this city Robinson
attempted to Jump from the wagon and
escape. but his custodlans thwarted his
attempt 70 llberate himself.
The accused, who appears TO be about 40
years of age. is n desperate-looking man.
He says he was drunk when the shooting
occurred and therefore does not know
whether be committed the crime or not.
