LOUISIANA

TALLADEGA, La, Nov. 8-As a result
of the murder of Tom Thompson, as
sistant chief of police here, Fred Single
ton, negro, was riddled with bullets by
a posse. In the shooting Police Otwell, a
member of the posse, was shot in the leg.
Singleton's body was brought to Talla-
dega and there was the most intense ex-
citement. The other negroes implicated
in the killing of Thompson were caught
and placed in the Jail at Talladega for
safekeeping. Thompson's murder was Pc
culiarly atrocious. He had arrested three
crap shooters who told him they knew
where a big crap game was In progress

was fired upon simultaneously from sew

theory, there is still a doubt in their
minds as to what has become of him.
If his body can be recovered 1t will con-
firm or refute the declaration that the
negro who saw him last is a murder or
or not. A body was picked UP in the
Mississippi river which in some respects
corresponded to that of Lehman, but it
cannot be identified to certainty. Should
this not be Mr.. Lehmans body the sup
position is that he has taken his own life
on account of business troubles.
