Carson, John Williams, alias Slim Frank
Harris, alias Boots" a man called Hun
cry and himself. At Hyndman, he de-
clares, they met a colored man who had
just been paid off, and Sim asked him
for a match. He said he had none, and then
he was asked for his money, being told that
he would have to give up what cash he
had or he would be killed. A bullet was
sent into the colored man, striking a vital
part, says Grayson, and his money, about
SIS was taken. The body of the victim
was then carried to a bridge crossing a
stream, ne continued. and was dropped into
the water.
Some time was spent in the mountains of
Maryland and Pennsylvania, Grayson told
the detectives, and about a month after the
Hyndman tragedy he reached this city.
Carson and Slim were with him. They
reached here during the Shriners' celebra-
ton and went to the monument grounds.
He and Slim waited there while Carson
went to 14th street saloon and purchased
pint of whisky.
The Long Bridge HOId-Up.
That night they started toward Richmond,
and when they reached the bridge Slim -
he says. asked him if he ever "held up a
man. Grayson said he replied in the mega
tive. and when he said he had not he was
Informed that he would have to obey orders
about to stop man who came along in a
wagon, but Slim said he was not the
man who was wanted, and in a few minutes
Gambler came along.
Il grabbed the horse" said Grayson,
and Slim said to Gambler: Give me your
money or I'll kill you Gambler put his
hand behind him and as he did SO Slim
shot him in the head
Carson, he says, was to rob the victim,
but before getting his money the three of
them were frightened off, and they return
ed to the city.
The night after Gambler was shot John
Williams, alias Slim was arrested in
this city and given four months in jail
on charge of carrying concealed weap-
ons. After he was sentenced the detectives
suspected that he was implicated in the
