The Columbus commercial. (Columbus, Miss.) 1893-1922, 1904-06-28

| message stating that it was un-
necessary for him to come, as the
negro had been found laying in
a ditch near the spot at which he
was shot, having fallen as a re-
suit of the exhaustion oecasioned
by the loss of blood.
A gentleman well known
in Columbus who figured promi-
nently in the capture of the negro
was Mr.. w. B. PEBBLES. Soon
after the dastardly crime in Web
ster county was committed Mr..
PEBBLES found out that its perpe-
| traitor was a native of Pickens
! county, and cautioned his neigh
bors ard the faborers on his PLAN
tation to be on the lookout for the
negro. On Thursday one Of his
hands came to him and told him
that Dunham had been seen in
Vienna on the previous night,
and Immediately the sheriff was
notified and the posse W hi c h
eventually effected the negro's
capture was formed. The two
shots which disabled Durham,
and which were really the means
of effecting his capture were fired
by Mr.. Z. Y. Buntin, who is the
manager of Mr.. Peebles' store.
After the negro had been taken
into custody he confessed the
crime and stated also that he had
committed similar outrages on
previous occasions, declaring that
he assaulted a young lady in the
Caledonia neiqhborhood a few
years ago. On his person were
found a photograph Of a beautiful
young white girl. whose name
the negro refusen to give, and a
handsome brooch. which had evil
IDENTIFY been stolen from some
lady. He was extremely sullen
and defiant, and evinced no re-
morse whatever, but on the other
hand seemed to be proud of the
shocking crimes which he had at
various times perpetrated.
Sheriff Cooper and Deputy
Sheriff Ford, Of Webster county,
arrived in Columbus on the east
bound train over the Southern
railway at II 20 o'clock Saturday
morning enroute to Carrollton,
Ala, where Dunham was being
held in custody awaiting their
arrival. There was a reward of
S5O0.O0 offered for Durham 5
capture, the governor having Of
fered $4,000, and the citizens of
Webster county having supple
mentad this with the offer of a
reward of $4,000. OF course the
men who effected the negroes
capture want this reward, and
and as it rightfully belongs to
them they will doubtless expert
ence little difficulty in securing
it.
Sheriff Cooper and his prisoner
arrived in Columbus over the
Mobile and Ohio railroad from
Carrollton at five o'clock Satur-
day afternoon, and left a few
minutes later for Eupora over
the Southern. Walthall is the
county site Of Webster, the co1n-
~ in which the crime was CON-
mitted, and as it is not situated
on the line Of any railroad Sheriff
Cooper will be compelled to take
Dunham from Eupora there
