The chief of police of Vicksburg
received letter last week from John
Rafferty,, 1873 Habersham street, Sa-
vannah, Ca, requesting him TO in
vestigate a rather peculiar state of
affairs in connection with the death
of his son in the charity hospital

Thomas F. Rafferty,, was on the exec
utive staff of the Black Patti Com
pany, being left in the hospital by
the manager of that company on the
18th inst. 1t was reported to his
relatives that he had died of maia-
rial fever, and when the body
reached them in Savannah it was
found that he had bullet wound in
the breast, but how he received the
wound is not stated. The relatives
of the young man allege that there
is a mystery about the whole affair,
as well as that the officials of the
hospital or attendants or else the
company with which he was connect
ed are in some way mixed with a
shady plot.

Biii jackson Pardoned.

Gov. Longino last week granted
pardon to Bill Jackson, who was SEN
fenced for life from Lafayette coun-

the Montgomery brothers, for which
crime viii Mathis and Orlando Les

months ago. The pardon was grant

best citizens of Lafayette county,

backed up by letter from District

to be released. It is stated that the
general sentiment now in that Sec

man, or at least, if not absolutely
innocent, that there was hardly
enough evidence to connect him with
the killing. Jackson was on the
Rankin plantation. The news of
his pardon was telephoned to the
place and he at once made ready to
