given to have them assemble In the drill

hear what was Intended for the occa-
sion.

OF the enlisted men, the reading was not
heard clearly by any number OF the

WELCE, W Va, Dec. 12-fhnmas
Wayne, who seems TO be respectable
white man, is now confined In mellow

story Of the fearful crime committed
against Wayne, Is brleiIg as follows;
william Cook, black man, called
whitehead" went 70 Charleston last
MAY and indicted before The United
States grand jury, George Cheetham,
for selling whskey To him and to an
other negio named Bob Patterson, 4
caplas was issued and placed in the
hands OF A deputy marshal Tor the ar
rest Of Cheetham.
Chectham was unknown 90 the mar
] shall and when he asked the witness for
description OF Cheetham, they de-
scrlned him ns u very tail man, with
black hair ana mustnche. The marshal
was unable to locate CheethNm, and on
November T. the day before the mar
shal was 10 start with prisoners, the
"Jonahs' became desperate for fear
they would miss getting a trip to
| Charleston, they pointed out q red
headed man and represented that he
was Cheetham This man was arrested
and taken to Charleston and convicted
OH the testimony of these witnessesand
was sentenced To forty-hve days i'm
prtsonment in the Mcdowell county
Jail, The witnesses swore positively that
they bought the whiskey from this man
on election day, 1886, at Peerless, this
county,
The man arrested and convicted pro-
| tested all the time that he was not
cheetham aGd that he was innocent OF
! the charge VI whiskey selling,
After the prisoner was brought back
to serve his sentence, some of the cltl-
gems Of this county, who knew him. be-
gan to investigate the case, and found
out that he was not Cheetham, but that
| his name IL Thomas Wayne, and that
he voted at Radford, va, on the day
Abe crime was alleged to have been
| committed,
The outrage and modification of his
| arrest and conviction preyed so upon
| Wayne that It affected his mind and he
| has been adjudged insane and will be
| taken 20 the asylum for treatment as
soon as the authorities can come for
| him.
The matter was laid before Judge
Jackson and he directed the discharge
OF the prisoner at once.
Deputy Marshal c. ID. Elliott took
immediate steps TO arrest the two VIII
lalus who are responsible for Wayne's
! condition. and he captured Cook and
brought him to Welch few days ago.
The other one Patterson, who by the
way, Is known by several other names
was captured and brought In Wednes-
dav night, by Acting Marshal Pat Pat

testimony he gave was nothing but per-
jury. He claims that they did buy whls-
key from cheetham, but says this man
is not Cheetham But that while he had
gone to look for Cheetham, Cook point
ed out Tom Wayne TO the marshal as
the man and when he returned and
found that Wayne had been arrested,
he said no more about It and went TO
