MOB IS OVER-PERSUADED

Selma, May 25-(special. )-safe in the Dallas county jail are Primus Glover and his son, Ed Glover, charged with the mur- der of Fred R. Hollis, the prominent young man shot Wednesday morning near Taomaston. Primus Glover was brought to the Jail in Selma Wednesday evening, having been hurried away from the scene of the shooting by Sheriff Grant and F. C.. Coates, citizens deputized by the sher- fir to assist him. The old man did not fire the shot that killed young Hollis, that having been done by Ed Glover. He did, it Is said, shoot at Webstaa AfcN ell, one of the young men with Hollis.
 Ed Glover who had been hunted by a determined posse since two hours after the shooting Wednesday morning, was landed in the Dallas county jail Saturday morning about 2 o'clock, having been brought here on the Mobile train over the Southern by Sheriff Grant and MT. E. s. Parrish. That the negro was not summarily dealt with is due to the cool ness of MT. Parrish and his determina- tion to keep his word to the negroes that assisted in the capture of the fugI- tive and gave him up to MT Parrish, only upon his promise that he would turn him over to the law and not to mob.
 Glover was found in a cabin about two and half miles from where the shooting occurred, the cabin being located on the Gayle place, near Consul, where MT. Far rish lives. The negro was filled with bird shot from his ankles to the top of his head, on one side of the body the most of the load, however, entering the face and shoulder These shots were from the gun of young McNeil. The wounds are not serious. though painful. Upon the negro being turned over to Mir. Parrish and the latters brother-in-law, J. D. Spencer, they started with him for Catherine, to take the train to Selma
 They had gone only about three miles when they ran full into a posse of fifty persons looking for the negro. Mr. Far rish, who is a favorite in that section of the country, insisted to the crowd that the negro be not harmed, that he had given his word to the negroes that he would turn Glover over to the law for punishment, and not to a mob and the crowd with considerable reluctance. al- lowed the negro to go unharmed. Sheriff Crant reached MT. Parrish later and they succeeded in landing him safely in the Selma jail.
 A Wrong Impression.
 MT. Parrish when seen Saturday stated that the impression that became current that the young men deserted Fred Hollis when he was shot, was entirely erroneous, that both McNeil and C. K Hollis dis played wonderful coolness and despite tho rearing and pitching Of their horses an l with both of the negroes shooting at them they returned the fire with the effect that Ed Glover was wounded and prevented his escape
 J. P. Hollis, father of the young man who was shot, when apprised that Glover had been captured, expressed the hope that the law would be allowed to take its course, and that no mob would lynch him. This was responsible in a great measure for the safe landing of the negro in jail
 MT. Farrish's friends, and he has a. large circle in Selma, congratulated him yesterday upon his conduct In the whole affair, andA especially his determination to keep his word, even if 1t was only to the negroes on the place. at all haz- ards. There was no reward offered, nor would any have been accepted by MT. Parrish He was, perhaps, as warm a had, and was one of the most earnest and zealous in the effort to bring his slayer to punishment
