There were many members of the

the proposed reinstatement of Rev. j 4.

CHIEF SWEENY RETURNED
WITH HIS PRISONER
Tells How Man Was Really Caught,
Correcting False Statements.


Chief Deputy Sheriff T. ]. Sweeny
arrived on the City of Atlanta yester-
day morning with Frank Williams,
the escaped negro convict who was
caught at Niagara Falls.
Though the widest kind of stories
were printed in Niagara about the way
Williams and other convicts were
treated here, the Savannah officer did
not take the trouble to have them cor
rected.
Practically every incident in con-
nection with the case was incorrectly
reported, Chief Sweeny says, some in
correct statement being given out by
the chief of the Niagara police depart
ment. According to the story print
ed in Niagara, Williams was recognized
and caught by the officers there from
a circular that had been sent out Civ
ing description of him.
AS a matter of fact, however, Mr..
Sweeny located the negro there by a
letter that he had written to a woman
here, who is now serving a sentence
in the chaingang. A telegram was
sent to the Niagara chief, asking him
dress, yet that officer took the credit
for having made Williams a prisoner
massisted. The story was printed
here at the time Williams was located.
Il didn't think they were worth
answering" said Chief Sweeny, when
asked about all the charges that had
been made in regard to the way the
convicts are treated here. The negro
told a very wild story of the hard
ships he had been compelled to under
go on the changing, which a news
paper in Niagara. published, quoting the
chief of police there to the effect that
he believed all that the negro said.
Williams is now confined in Jail. He
will be tried in the Superior Court for
assault with intent to murder. AT the
time he escaped he attacked G. w.
Sapp one of the guards and knocked
him down Taking his gun and pistol,
Williams and a companion made off.

Parker and Davis buttons and fobs
are selling three to enc faster in New

banks, says Chief Deputy Sheriff T.

Chief Sweeny says fobs, buttons or
some other campaign souvenir are be-
ing sold on almost every street corner
in the metropolis. and that number
of the vendors told him that the Demo-
cratic article was decidedly more in
demand.
In a way, Chief Sweeny thinks this
shows very clearly how the sentiment
in New York city is. Almost all the
people with whom he talked thought
Parker would carry the state he says.
This was true not only with those in
New York city. but in Albany and
Niagara as well.
