WRONG MAN HANGED.
Didn't Do the Murder but Concealed
the Body.

Lafayette, Ala, Oct. 26.-There is ev.
cry reason to believe that the mob
which lynched the negro John Anderson
here last Sunday morning hanged the
wrong man.
On the scaffold Anderson confessed to
a knowledge of the crime, but insisted
that he was not the murderer. Accord
ing to his ante-mOrtem statement, T. L.
Norris, nelShbor of Holmes, the VIC
tim, and another white man whom the
prisoner did not know, had murdered
Mr.. Holmes and had subsequently given
him $50 to carry the body away and
conceal it in the swamp.
The mob refused to believe Anderson
story and hanged him without waiting
to verify it. AS they returned from the
scene OF the lynching, however, some OF
dwelling to inform him of the negro
story. They found that he had not
been seen about the neighborhOOd since
the morning after the murder.
Soon afterward it developed that

colt and placed under a bond of $500.
This he was able to furnish.
The letter alleged to have been writ

Parks the minister of the Christian
church at Lawrence. It informed the
reverend gentleman in anything but
elegant language that if he dares to in
trude his presence on the writer a hor-
rible catastrophe would befaH him. It
bore what is supposed to be Nelson's
signature and the sUpposition was
strengthened by the fact that Nelson is
a member of the faction opposed to DR..
Parks.
Nelson declares that the signature to
the letter is a forgery.

Inspector T. J. Turpin, of this city, has
returned from Monterey, Mex, where
he went under orders from State Health

eating the reported prevalence of yellow

FOR BREACH OF PROMISE.
Hutchinson Pastor Sued by an Irate
Woman and Property Attached.

Hutchinson. Oct. 26-At the district
court today a motion was argued to dis
miss an attachment in the case of Mrs.
Mary Swickard VS.. Rev. John P. Ealmore.
The suit was brought by Mrs. Swickard
for breach of promise. She claims that
the Rev. Ealmore promised to marry her
and that, after a lengthy courtshfp. re-
fused to carry out his promise. When the
suit was brought Mrs Swickard had the
residence property of the Rev. Ealmore
attached. The motion argued today is
to dismiss this attachment.
Rev EalmOre claims upon his part that
there has never been a cOurtship, and
that he and Mrs. SWickard merely associ-
ated, together for the shake of companion
ship. He claims further that Mrs Swick-
ard has never obtained a legal separation
from her husband.
