CHIEF HUGHES HERE
 AFTER WILL ELLIS
INTERESTING DEVELOPMENTS ARE EXPECTED WHEN CHIEF AND NEGRO MEET THIS MORN
 ING-ELLIS IS PHYSICAL WRECK

Interesting developments are expected to occur today when Will Ellis. the negro said to be wanted in half a dozen states for as many murders. and R. o. Hughes, chief of police of Somerset, Ky, are brought face to face. Chief Hughes reached Birmingham at 1920 o'clock last night and went immediately to police headquarters. No attempt was made to see the prisoner as he has already confessed to having shot a negro at Somerset
 Chief Hughes said that he was satis- fled Ellis was the right negro, although he had not seen him. He said the negro S plea of self-defense could not be sub stantiated by evidence and that the mur- der was cold -blooded
 T have his complete record" said Chief Hughes, "but am not in a position to give it out at present. It was ob- tained from a negro who worked with El- lis for years, and Is familiar with all the crimes he ever committed. I will say. however. that he Is not the man wanted in Barnwell county and the other places that have been mentioned. There are other crimes. though. of which he Is accused. Before he killed the negro at Somerset he shot another through the foot and claimed that it was an accident
 When Chief Ellis takes look at Ellis this morning he will see a physical wreck. The negro's nerves have appar- ently been completely shattered, and he cannot carry on a conversation with any one without shaking from head to foot. With qulyering voice he declared yester- day that he wanted to go back to Som- erset, Ky, and stand trial for killing negro there. Guilt of all the other mur- ders traced to him are stoutly denied, and he says he can prove his innocence in Kentucky.
 There are several new developments in the case yesterday besides the arrival of Chief Hughes. During the day Contrac- tor Brewer who employed Ellis in 1902, called at the office of the detective de- partment and made the first statement that verifies anything the negro has said. MT Brewer said he was working a gang of laborers near Greenville that year and that Ellis was the man who killed an- other negro. He corroborated Ellis story that he had been tried and acquitted Of the charge.
 Detective Patton is anxiously awaiting the letter. which will specify the amount of the reward and contain photograph from Barnwell. S. c. In the event that he does not hear from there today he will ask the police chief of Somerset to remain In Birmingham a few days. If the negro proves to be the one wanted in South Carolina and the reward Is big one, Detective Patton thinks he should get the benefit of 1t.
