NAMED SANDDSKY.
The Identity of the Murdered
Stranger Established.
The Ninth Negro Engaged In
the Crime Arrested and
Jailed.

The identity of the man who was
murdered by a gang of negroes
near Pembroke Nov. IA, has been
established. His name was San
dGsky and he was saw sharpener,
who was making tour of the saw
mills of Christian and Todd counties
following his vocation. He spent
the night of Nov. 10 in the vicinity
of Bells Chapel and showed a roll
of bills there. He told those with
whom he had business that be was
native of Pennsylvania and a
cousin of Capt. W. H. Sandusky,
the hotel man at Central City. He
said his wife and little daughter
died some time ago and he had been
going about over the country since,
hunting work in his line, which he
had found profitable and he was
well supplied with money. On the
next day, Saturday the 14th, he
went to Pembroke, showed his
money while making change at a
saloon, and then went out a mile
from town and camped in the
woods, where the negroes later
crept upon him and murdered him
as he slept by his camp fire.
George Holland, the negro who
made the confession, implicated
eight others. Seven were arrested
with him and Frank Sherman, the
rinth, was apprehended Tuesday.
All nine of them are now in Jail.
According to Hollands confession
Frank Meredith dubbed Sandusky
10 his sleep, Holland then jumped
upon the writing form and cut the
victim s throat and others assisted
in mutilating and robbing the
corpse and secreting it in rail
pile near by, where it was found
two days later.
They got little more than 500,
which was divided among them.
One of the negroes says be got only
ST. so of the money.
There have been some rumors of
mob, but the officers who arrested
the gang will lose the reward of
$500 if there are no convictions.
There seems 10 be no sympathy felt
for the prisoners anywhere and
some of the local attorneys refused
to defend them. Their examining
trial, which is expected to establish
their guilt, has not been held.
