brought 10 the Second Station last night
a colored man who states that Tuesday
at noon he met a young negro about ten

/ hausted. The negro inquired the way 10
/ KeespOrt Pa, and asked II the mines
/ were working there. During the con-
ycrsation the man kept looking over his
/ shoulder as though he expected 10 see
/ some one approaching from the rear, and
/ seemed very uneasy. The negro stated
| in the station last night that the man
he saw was yellow skinned and was
! without hat or coat, and wor- red
| striped shirt and pointed shoes.

by the Dispatch last night from Frede-
/ ricksburg:
Two negroes were arrested here last
I night by officer Leavell, who were beat
ing their way North on the p. NJ. cX-
. press train. They answer very well the
description sent here Of Policeman Aus
tins murderers. They gave their names
ass John Fields and John Cammack. They
/ gave conflicting accounts as to where
! they came from. but finally acknowledged
that they were from North Carolina. one
of them had on an overcoat two or tire,
sizes too large for him and no undercoat
The other wore short knit jacket.
They are now in jail and the Rich
mond authorities have been cOmmuni
Gated with
Officer Foster was sent TO Fredericks
burg last night on the 71O train, and vii

wanted.
THE WRONG MEN.

two suspiciOus-lOokng negroes had beer
/ arrested there, who answered the de
sciiption of the men who had slain Office
Austin Officers Gibson, Werner am
Amos left on the noon train for Soutl
Boston. but upon arriving there foun,
1 that the negroes We're not the ones the!
were after The three officers will return
to-day.
The report that the negroes had beei
/ captured at Ashland also proved to b
incorrect Officers Shields and Poitiau,
went TO Ashland, and found that lhe mel
did not i'm the least answer the descrip
ton of the two negroes who shot NJ
/ Austin
Officers Wren, Sutton, and Sowell ar
still working i'm the neighborhood of Rapi
dan, and will probably make an arres
to-day.
