The recent killing of Lucius L. Will
Jams of Telfair county by Deputy United
States Marshal john Kelly and the arrest
of HIS sons, John NJ ana Stephan wall
Jams, are fresh in the recollection of the
public. The government has offered a. re-
ward Of 500 for the arrest and delivery of
LuCius Williams TO United States Mar
shall Harrell. but the government has de-
layed paying the reward because the strict
letter of the proclamation Offering the re-
ward was not complied with. to-wit: the
delivery of Williams TO the marshal. As
Williams was killed in Telfair county
he could not very well be de-
lvered to the marshal. But the
department at Washington has at last
waived this technicality and the depart
ment has authorized Marshal Harrell TO
pay the $500 to Kelly. Norman W. Dodge
of New York also offered
a reward of 500 for the arrest of
Lucius L. Williams and his two sons, John
NJ. and Stephan Williams, or $500 for the
arrest of each. Dodge paid this reward TO
Kelly soon after Kelly's recent habeas
corpus hearing, growing out of the killing
of Williams. This makes total of $500
paid him.
