Both Protest Their Innocence of

Memphis, Tenn. Oct. PA special from
ST. Anne's, Leake county, Mississippi
says:
1T was reported here last night and also
at Carthage that John Oliver Gray had
been captured and lynched. 1t was also
reported that he had made a confession,
charging that two white men were con-
cerned in the murder of the Gambren
family. This is a mistake, but when one
Is here it is easy to see now such mis-
takes may be made. The country is not
Jhickly settled and the distances are far
Every one has been excited, and what at
hrsr is gossip gains strength from repeti-
ton and is given out as absolutely true.
John Oliver Gray was captured, but he
is now in jail at Carthage. He swears
that he is innocent of any connection with
the brutal murder He was caught in the
swamps after many shots were fired at
him.
Robert Smith is also in Jail at Carthage
and, as previously reported, the negro IS
badly burned. He protested his innocence
EXCITEMENT continues at fever heat, and
everything possible is being done to ferret
out the accomplices of Lefiore in the
Wholesale murder
