Hunter Denies 1t.

Hunter denies that he participated ar all in the crime, and states that Vance Garner. another of the negroes in jail, was the leader of the trio which assault ed Mrs Smith, and afterwards killed her The negro arrived in Birmingham with two big bottles of whisky safely stored away in his pockets and puffing on long cigar. He is a light ginger cake color and has a long scar across his neck on the left side. The negro takes the matter coolle and says that he will have no trouble in proving that he did not take any part in the crime, but was merely an onlooker to a portion of it. Hunter stated last night:
 My names Jack Hunter all right and 1 am the man that the police were look Ing for, but I am not guilty of the crime that | am accused of l witnessed most of what took place but did not take any hand in the matter. Vance Garner is the negro who led the gang and he was the one that l saw assault Mrs. Smith.
 Says He Saw the Assault.
 '1 went over to the distilery that night late to get me half pint of whs- ky Tie distillery Is near my house. After I had the whisky I heard someone scream up in the woods and I said to the man who runs the place MT. Charlie. l am going up yohder. He told me l had better not go, but went any way. When l got up in the woods, saw this negro, Vance Garner, assaulting Mrs. Smith, and told Ia hat ba oh In dn that. that it would get him in trouble. He cursed me and told me to go along and tend to my own business, as that was none of my affair." I told him again that he had better quit and he cursed me again.
 When I left there Mrs. Smith, whom I had identified, because I knew her. for I had lived on the same road near her house at one time, was still alive. Those negroes killed her afterward. I went on home and went to sleep
 Why He Left Gadsden.
 "The next morning Vance Garner came to my house and told me that l had better leave town as I had had some trouble with Lucy Mayo, negro woman. and she was going to have me arrested | me and I came to Birmingham That was only a bluff of Vance Gamers to get me to leave town and throw all the suspicion on me. l heard a white man read about the crime out of The Age-Herald while 1 was in Birmingham, and l went back to Gadsden. If 1 had been guilty l would never have gone back. The other two negroes with Vance Garner were Bunk Richardson and Will Johnson"
 Hunter is an impudent negro and gave the authorities at the county jail some trouble while they were measuring him and getting his age to enter on the dock ct He told them that he was 4S or "A years old and made other impudent re- marks
 Jim Blount and Jask Luster, two ne groes who live in Gadsden, came to Bir- mingham with the party. They are the two negroes who turned up Hunter. MT. Barnes had paid the two negroes to secure Hunter for him and in that way he was caught. Hunter claims that he went to Gadsden to surrender.
