was Howard. one Of these men was
mulatto and when arrested had revolv-
er. Levi Haynes was one-legged man
and was known as peg Leg The lat
ter appeared 20 be the monicd man Of the
party
When they were released on last Sat
urday they came at once 10 Richmond
and took mp their headquarters az the
Exposition Grounds. Before leaving Man
chester however the negro. who had tho
pistol asked for It's return and when that
was refused. he remarked that he had
plenty OF money. and would buy another.
THEIR MOVEMENTS.
The quartette took their meals al EDDIE
Cooks lunch room on Cary street. and
they spent last Saturday night AZ
Holmes place in Pink alley, where they
remained until o'clock Sunday morning.
They got their meals on Sunday, as usual,
and roamed about town until evening.
when they went 10 the Exposition
Grounds. ana remained until about 10
o'clock.
Soon after that hour they came 10 the
city and were i'm a negro resort at II
O'Clock. and remained There some hours.
After that time the trail was lost unui
the shooting occurred
The hat and coat left in the hands Of
the dying policeman tally exactly with
those worn by one Of the quar-
tette. and the pistol with which
Policeman Austin was shot was
a new Smith and WessOn. which
proved that the man who had been re-
fused his old revolver in Manchester had
purchased q new one. as he said ne
would And the fact that the negro who
was arrested I'm Manchester came from
North Carolina accounts for the name OF
the North Carolina merchants on the
coat.
THESE HAVE VANISHED.
The third man has not been seen. nor
has the peg-legged negro been located
since sunday. Tho quartette did not APP
pear at their lunch room Monday morning
and il is believed that DE took the train
for Washington, where ne had remarked
that he was going. and Sergeant Shin
berger has tclegraphed 90 that place ask
In the police TO look out for him and
hold him.
A 0ne-legged man was arrested by Of
ticer Clarkson yesterday at the EXposi-
tion Grounds. but he turned 10 be not
the one wanted. He had seen the other
one, however. and had also seen his COM
panion.
As thesemen We're in jail last week they
could not have broken into the Broad
street stores on Wednesday and Friday
nights. and that is where the plot thick
ems. The suppostion then arises that
there We're others.
WHO HAD THE CHISEL?
There is something concerning the nnd-
ing of the chisel that has not been made
exactly clear The negro Bilups testified
before the Coroners jury that he saw the
mulatto who shot Mr. Austin have tho
chlsel I'm one hand and his coat on the
other arm. But ne did not state what
became OF the Chiscl when the negro at
tackled Mr. Austin with the pistol. The
young man Evans testified that he pick
ed up the chisel some distance from the
scene Of the etruggle on Fifth street,
showing that the mulatto did OF have the
chisel. for 10 could not have been dropped
on tho corner or, perhaps, been used
against the officer.
This then. points to the fact that either
the black man had the chisel or that
someone c.ese had it,. And If these two men
had been I'm jail all last week they could
not very well have used the same Chisel
that was used TO force open the doors
and windows Of the BrOad-strcct stores
during that week.
Captain Angle OF the Second Station. at
1880 o'clock last evening. received q phone
message from q gentleman out at Pole
Green. in Hanover county. stating that
three negroes. apparently, from their ac-
tiOus. recently pursued had come TO his
place about half an hour before.
The gentcmans description Of two Of
the men led the Captain to believe that
they might be the assassins Of officer
Austin and he Immediately dispatched
Sergeant Tdllcy and Officer Bailey for
Pole Green.
