Two Negroes Thought to be Implicated
in the Railroad

Detectives Flynn and Terry yester-
day morning arrested two negroes, Jim
Pearsall and Dick LeGwin, whom it is
thought are directly responsible for
the larceny Of h pump from the At
lantic Coast Line some months ago
and connected with the wholesale rob-
berry of railroad brasses.
The stolen brasses were found in the
possession of the negro junk shop
keeper, Boyette, now in Jail, and the
pump was located in the possession Of
a firm in Richmond, Va, who had pur-
chased it from Boyette. The junk shop
keeper refused up to a few days ago to
tell where he got the pump and brasses,
"a that he purchased them from sew
eral parties. Yesterday he stated to
the detectives that he purchased them
from Pearsall, who got them from Lee
Gwin. Soon after this admission Detec-
tives Flynn and Terry had Pearsall
and LeGwin "jugged," and they will be
tried at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning
before Justice MCGOWAN.

about over, and prepared to leave for
his home on the following morning. He
was with trends the whole time, and
can clearly prove that he was not on
the street where the insult occurred at
any time during the day in question.
That the next morning, after walking
around town, shaking hands with
friends, he went to the depot and
bought his ticket for Warsaw; that
while standing on the platform a mar
ran up and grabbed him by the throat:
that two or three others tripped him
up n bound his legs, while another
stood off and dashed him with a whip.
He was perfectly d~umbfounded, the at
tack was so unexpected, and he tried
to explain that they had the wrong
mon, but they would not let him say a
word, nor could he, as one of the ruff
fans had his tongue choked out. They
then drove him on the train with pis-
tolls and threats Of death If he did not
comply.
Mr.. Woodward states that he could
not learn the name of the lady and
would not know her If he were to see
her; that he did learn on the train, how
that she was driven down to the
depot, q pointed himself out as the
man. Your correspondent gave as
of the means of Identification the suit
of clothes he wore. In this connection.
Mr.. Woodward says that he had on an
entirely different suit from the day be-
fore.
