three weeks duration, which she bore

The Slayer of Mr.. Walter Davis, Tells o
His Escape.

His Escape.
| Editor Sentinel:
We can easily call to mind the ex
element that existed when news was
spread abroad that Walter Davis hat
been murdered by one Jim Sellers
The friends of the former made q
desperate effort to capture his deadly
foe, but were only rewarded with fruit
less searches. 1t has been a profound
mystery how said Sellers escaped with.
out leaving a trace that might lead
to his whereabouts and result in his
capture. Knowing, as we do, the
anxiety of many to learn the particu-
lars Of his escape, we relate it as told
to the writer by Sellers:
after the killing took place left the
scene Immediately, passing through Mr..
O. H. Holoen's yard and lot, made my
way out by the way OF Mr.. Davis mill,
crossed the public road near Sabougla
bridge on my way to the ferry. While
standing there talking to the ferry
man two men on horse. back rode up
and had conversation with the ferry
man. In the meantime l had con-
cealed myself so as not to be seen, and
heard the conversation which followed,
in which I learned that / had killed
Walter Davis. From here l went
through Capt. Jack Williams field
intersecting the public road at the
colored church, near Mr.. Hudson's.
Then l followed the public road until
| was within two miles of Graysport,
where took cut off known as the
hill route" intersecting the road at
the Webb place. BY this time day
had caught me, so concealed myself
near the road SO as to see what was
going on. Only one man passed by
until , o'clock, when took the public
road for Grenada. l overlook a
colored man at Red Grass creek who
had stopped to get water. After
leaving here together we informed one
and the other that we were going to
Grenada. My companion soon pro-
ceeded to tell me of Jim Sellers killing
Walter Davis, and that posse of men
were hunting Sellers. Becoming
alarmed | left the road telling my
friend that I wished to 90 by certain
house but would join him later. From
here made my way via Elliott to a
branch Of the G. P. railroad. After
remaining here for several days l
went to the place Of one Lewis Majet
and spent one night with my brother
in-law. went from here to Arkansas
where remained several weeks, but
returned TO near Greenvile where |
was captured. | was always uneasy
and felt that I would be captured
sooner or LATER
Upon being questioned as to how he
managed to leave no trace of himself
Jim replied, II told 40 one my busi-
ness and no one knew it, He SAYS he
is getting accustomed to being in
prison but expressed a desire to know
what would be his punishment. He is
in Pjttsboro jail. III,
