The negro arrested at a brick yard
near Blews Creek and in Jail here was
re-identified yesterday as Ed Davis, the
man who shot and killed Conductor
Virgins at Salisbury, Sunday, April 20.
Mr.. Carl Ring, a son of DR.. J. W.
Ring, of Elkin, who was on the street
car at the time Mr.. Virgins was killed,
and who was shot in the left arm by a
stray ball fired by Davis, arrived here
Sunday morning and in company with
officers went to the Jail, where he point
ed out the negro (who was in the cell
with a number of other colored prison
ers), identified Saturday by j. E. Pain
ter as the guilty man. Mr.. Ring said
he vas confident that the negro he
quickly pointed out was the right man,
because when the shooting took place
he had ample time to gather in his
mind a good description of Davis.
Mr.. Ring, who is clerk in a hotel
at Salisbury, returned home Sunday af-
ternoon. The wound on his arm is still
giving him considerable pain.
Deputy Sheriff Moore, of Whitney,
arrived here at 1910 this morning and
vent direct to the Jail in company with
two officers. After carefully viewing
every negro in the prison, the officer
stated that Ed. Davis, who worked for
him and who, it was alleged, was the
slayer Of Conductor Virgins, was not
in that crowd. The ma identified By
Messrs. Painter and Ring vas then
pointed out to Deputy Moore, who stat
ed that this negro was too. black for Ed
Davis. However, the deputy sheriff,
who was sent here by Sheriff Julian, of
Rowan, admits that he does not know,
except from reports that Ed Davis was
the negro that committed the crime.
Sheriff Alspaugh has been notified by
Sheriff Julian and Solicitor Hammer,
who is in Salisbury, to hold the negro
in custody here for further investiga-
ton.
Sheriff Alspaugh in response to III
inquiry, received a letter today from
Sheriff Pinnix, of Rockingham, stat
ing that the father (John or Henry
Whit of the man arrested for Ed
Davis was seen and his story was to
the effect that his boy, Chas. Whit,
left home, near R~eidsville, two or three
weeks ago to work at a saw mill. The
father also told Sheriff Pinnix that his
boys mind was unbalanced and that he
vas released in January from the Vir-
ginia penitentiary, having serves a
sentence for some crime.
The boy told some of the officers
here since his Arrest that ne got into a
shooting scrape in Virginia something
over a year ago and that while he did
not know whether he killed the man
that was shot. he did remember being
tried and sentenced to the pen for IL
months.-Winston Sentinel.

Mr.. Roosevelt must have been in a
stew on last Monday. Several differ
ent announcements were made at 1he
White House as to the course he in
tended to pursue in reference to Scn-
ator Tillman's statement on Saturday.
One was that he would make no re-
ply. The Monday afternoon papers
contained Washington City dispatches
saying the president would give out
no statement that day and it was not
likely one would be made on the floor
of the senate, but his letter to Senator
Allison saw the light that afternoon
all the same. 1t is said there were
some lively discussions between the
president and his friends during the
day. over the course he should pursue,
some being opposed to his making any
statement to the public.
