pie and we are ready to help put down
crime"
II. r Pierson a colored business
man. said; 1T is shameful and the
: better class Of negroes are opposed to
lawlessness. We do not favor crime
Of any kind being carried on and such
a case as this one should be dealt
with in a manner that win set an
example.
Othsr representative colored citizens
were also interviewed and there is no
question as to the opposition Of the
intelligent classes Of negroes against
criminal practices Of any kind. The
negro who stands for civilization. law
and order does not allow himself to
favor a brother negro who commits
dastardly crime
Campbell As a Vag.
It Is said that Campbell has been liy-
ing in Guthrie for five years and that
he worked only now and then. Sew
eral policemen have at various times
ordered him out Of the city but ne
continued TO remain
Recently. however, he was employed
by Rlnehart and Godair at their cat
tie pens southwest of Guthrie
OFFICER Vampner said that he had
ordered Campbell cut Of Guthrie on
several occasions. No further steps
were ever taken with the negro and
he was allowed to stay here until he
was caught in a crime. which places
another stain upon the narde Of the
city.
Deputy Sheriff Makes Good.
F. C. Baker, a deputy under Sheriff
Bart Murphy and a Santa Fe car in
spector. is almost wholly responsible
for the fndiag ald arrest OF the negro.
Detective Car Gregg is also to be Civ
en- great deal of credit for his dill
gent aud faithful Efforts in hunting
the negro
Detective Gregg instituted the
search when he was informed by
conductor of what was going on. A
Santa Fe conductor had seen Camp
bell with the star on mis- coat and car
rying a broom stick as though il We're
policeman's club The conductor
asked Detective Gregg how many ne
gro policemen Guthrie had and he was
told that there was only one on the
force at present
The conversation which took place
between the little girl and the negro
when the bell tapped was overheard
by the conductor and was reported to
Detective Gregg, who took the case in
charge and handled it.
Bound over.
] Campbell was brought before JUS
tice Keys and bound over. His pre-
liminary was set for next Wednes-
day at 10 "a m. He was turned over
to the county officials this morning
and taken from the city Jail to the
county jail.

The Tin Star.
Campbell had evidently used the
star for other purposes. or at least had
made It with bad intent When asked
regarding the star he remarked nerv-
ously: "Ah wuz jes carryln' dat in
NAH pocket"
But the little girl said that he had
the star on his coat and took particu-
lar care to show it to her When the
bell tapped he saw his opportunity to
throw the girl OFF guard and inveigle
her into his evil designs.
The impersonation Of an officer Is
felony and the negro is certainly
guilty of this crime 1t is probably
fortunate foF Guthrie that he was
caught with this star Saturday night.
Other dastardly crimes might have
been committed under the same pre-
tense.
The Chief Of Police Talks.
Chief Of Police Reynolds talked with
the negro this morning and asked him
great many questions. After Camp
bell had finished his story Chief Reyn-
llds said Look here, Ed. you are
telling two different stories. Didn't
you tell the officers Saturday night
that you committed criminal assault
upon the girl, that she was willing,
that you gave her fifty cents and that
you weren't ashamed Of it?"
The negro turned his head and grew
nervous, denying every word He
then began to stammer and became
more mixed than ever.

Miss NJitteman said that It was

left the Rescue Home. No one around
the Home knew where she had gone.
she slipped from one Of the houses,
which make up the Home, TO another
where she found her hat. How she
got away no one has been able to as

"She was brought back to the Home
about ~ o'clock Saturday night and
aas promised ME that she win remain
with us now" Miss Witteman said.
Intelligent Negroes Talk.
A reporter for The Leader secured
interviews with a number Of Guthrie's
most intelligent negroes ana the con
census Of opinion among them is that
such crimes should be punished 20 the
fun exteat of the law.
Ell saddier who is one Of the
brightest colored lawyers In Guthrie,
said: "l am not in favor OF mob law,
but / believe that such criminals
should be punished as seyerelssls the

oountenance such things. We are
against lawlessness. We want 70 pro
