The Appeal., 1901-06-15

Some time ago an Afro-American
resident of Chicago who had killed a
man and escaped from a Southern
prison was detected and returned to
prison. His case now finds counter
part in the case of Thomas J. Fish, a
white man who killed an Afro-Amer-
ican in Crab Orchard, KY, in 1886, and
who has since lived in Vincennes
Ind, where he has married and has
four children. He has been detected
and returned to Kentucky for trial
Of course it is claimed the man killed
was a desperate and that the killing
was in self-defense and there is little
danger that any harm will come to
Fish, who was, it appears, only an ac-
complice. His recapture only shows
what some men will do for a little
money.
The Kentucky authorities had los!
all trace Of the murderers until recently
when, through A. J. Shannon, now 9
deputy sheriff of Crab Orchard, a for.
mer schoolmate and friend of the fugi.
tives, caused both to be brought back
for trial in the hope of getting the re,
ward of $3.50, still considered valid, fo1
their capture, g. -,
