 The telegram stated merely that Chief Walters would arrest Kemp for murder. and did not make a more definite charge but Kemp said he thought he was wanted for the murder.of negro. though he de- nied he had committed the crime.
 The arrest was made yesterday morning at half past o'clock.

In the room with him was A. E. Tally. also of Mount Vernon In statement to Chief Walters Kemp said that he suspected he had been ar gro who had been killed near Mount Yer non two months ago.

 Kemp Is thought to be one of the three men who two years ago shot John Far ish to death near Mount Vernon.
 Two deputy sheriffs arrived today from Monroe County and will return with their prisoner tomorrow.
