The crime was finally fastened upon
two brutal negroes who have finally been
dawn into the tolls Of the law and VIII

their fendish work
The local police authorities were ad-
vised to keep a lookout for the negroes
and have been on the watch for the past
two days.
The police captured their man last
night and he was promptly landed in
jail and was this morning delivered to
Marshal AIcCune of Weatherford, and
they departed this morning to the scene
of the awful crime.

J. c. Tousley, editor of the Weather
ford Democrat, was in the city last night
and when seen by a reporter stated that
the negro Of red shirt and cap, Louis
Island train pulling out of FL Reno for
Enid. He is a vicious looking brute and
it is generally believed he IS the one who
committed the atrocious crime, though
little doubt is expressed as to Oslesby
being implicated in the affair.
Thursday night, a week ago, Thomas
II. Pemberton, who came from Kentucky,
and is about SO years of age. and who
has been for some months living at the
home Of his son in Weatherford, had
been down town to secure some medi-
cine for his son wife, when on his re-
turn trip he was crossing a vacant lot
when someone slipped up behind him and
dealt him a terrific blow in the back CT
the head just behind the left ear. the
instrument being a heavy club. A second
blow must have been struck after the
man fell as there was a second mark or
inGentation near 20 the hrst- His death
was evidently instantaneous. Mr.. Penn
berton came from Kentucky and was
a typical southern gentleman and had
not an enemy in the world, though the
people Of Weatherford thought at first
that he might have been the victim Of
one Of Kentucky's famous feuds.
Since the murder his sons wife has
many times inquired for her father-in-
law, but a truthful answer has been
evaded. as she is very I'll and 1t IS feared
that the horrible truth. If made known
to her, would cause her death.
The crime is one OF the most henious
in the criminal calendar Of the territory
and there is little doubt that the two
negroes win be proven guilty and will
hang for tho awful offense.
They realized from the horrible deed
the pitifm sum Of $50.
