Ing their clients money! they stated, "or
trust funds which might be in their hands. -
They concluded their protest by requesting
the Commissioners to offer an amendment

THREE NEGROES CAPTURED. Are Charged With the Murder of Jim
 Bullock,

Evergreen, July 30. - (Special.)-
 Sheriff J. F. Irwin has returned from
 Pine Barren, Fla. and had in his cus-
 tody three negroes, Lillie Aarons, John
 Barnett and Lave Lee. all of whom
 were placed in jail here charged with
 the murder of Jim Bullock, a negro,
 which occurred last March near Gravel la. this county.
 Bullock was found lying on the rail- road. He was discovered by an en-
 gineer, who endeavored to stop his
 train before reaching the body, but could not do so. It was supposed that
 he was murdered and his body placed on the track to hide the crime. Two bullet holes were clearly visibly in his head, both having passed through the brain, and there were several
 gashes from a knife on his face and head.
 The cuts and bruises caused by the train passing over him did not pro- duce any blood The verdict of the coroner's jury at the time was that | he was murdered by person or per-
 sons unknown. Several were arrested
 and placed in jan shotly afterwards but were released. Shortly after the crime was committed the negroes now in jail left the community and their flight in connection with other evil dence caused the sheriff to keep a close watch for them until he finally located them in Florida. What evil dence he has against them will not be known until they are given a pre- liminary hearing, which will probably take place fin few days.
 Rev. Richard Hall left yesterday for Northfield. Mass, where he will attend
