 MURDERED BY NEGRO
Continued from First Paael

 rested by Policemen Burke and culpepper on South Twentieth street His actions were suspicious and he will be held until the women make a statement. He is well known character in Buzzard's Roost, where the shooting occurred.
 Deputy Sheriff Jerry Fountain arrested Will Wilson and Warren Parker two negroes, near Bessemer. They were both heavily armed and answered to some ex tent the description of the negro who did the shooting. Cartridges had been fired from the guns in the possession of one of the negroes, and this caused their arrest. A third negro was with them, but he was not at all like the descrip- tion. They will also be held.
 One Negro Escapes.
 The third negro who was caught at Bessemer caused considerable excite inent on the street by a sensational es- cape from the officers at Eighteenth street and Third avenue as they were taking him from the street car. They had all stepped to the ground when the fuse in the car blew out Flames shot in all directions and everyone dodged. The negro saw his opportunity and made
  break Several officers followed him as he ran down Eighteenth street to- wards Second avenue, and an Ensley of- ficer shot at him twice with .Winches- ter repeating rifle. The negro lodged into the alley and escaped. He was not the one who killed the policeman, and the Bessemer authorities started not to bring him, but he expressed a willingness to come. Over a thousand people gath cred in a few minutes
 Bullet Lodged in Lung.
 Last night at the undertaking establish ment City Physician Whelan and Dr. H. S. Ward probed for the bullet which killed Policeman Hullin and found it lodged in his lung. It had passed through his heart and was stopped in the lung. The bullet was removed. It was .3S- calibre and was only slightly disfgured
 That the policeman should have lived thirty minutes with a bullet through his heart is considered remarkable by the physicians, who state that it is a very rare thing for a person to live more than a few seconds. It was fully thirty minutes after the shooting before the policeman died, and he was conscious for twenty minutes of that time.
 When he was killed Policeman Mullin was wearing badge No 12 The bullet en- tered his breast just below the badge, and had it been a fraction of an inch dif- ferent in it's course it would have struck the metal. He had been in the department since January 15. 1896 and within three months would have finished his eighth year. He wore gold band and two blue ones on his sleeve, the former stand for five years continuous service and the lat ter two for a year each.
 Sketch of Dead Policeman.
 The deceased was born in Opelika. Lee county on August ?, 1857, which made him a little over 46 years old when he died He came to Birmingham several years be- fore he was appointed on the police force and served on the fire department for two years just previous to his appointment as a policeman. He was the cousin of Chief of the Fire Department Thad Mullin; also of Harry Mullin, fireman, and leaves a brother, L. D. Mullin, a wife and a son, Atticus Mullin, an employe in the office of the Louisville and Nashville railroad
 As an officer Policeman Mullin had a most enviable record. He had been on the force for nearly eight years, and dur ing that time he had never been reported to the commission for the infringement of any of the rules. He was brave and has more than once barely escaped being killed while in the discharge of his duty. In June, 1900, he was shot at several times by negro named Flewellyn and barely escaped. He shot and killed the
