Deputy Sheriff is Taken for
Kentucky inposter at Guin.

Never until he went to Guin. Ma
rion County, to bring back a negro
charged with murder, had Deputy Sher-
iff George Norman been accused of
being an imposter.
When the deputy reached Montgom-
cry yesterday morning with his pris-
oner, he told of the difficulties he en-
countered in convincing the Mayor and
citizens of GUN that he was an officer
and not an imposter. Had it not been
Tor picture of the negro. which Mr..
Norman carried with him from Mont
gomery, the prisoner might never have
been delivered to his custody.
. Deputy Norman brought back Char
lie Cook. the negro who shot and kill
ed Florida Lucas, a negress, near Mount
Meigs Saturday night The officer left
Montgomery Wednesday night and ar
rived at the village of GUN Thurs
day.
Cook had been apprehended in the
little town on the belief that he was a
negro for whom reward of 500 had
been offered in Kentucky. The Mayor
of the town and the citizens were con-
fident that Cook was the Kentucky flu
gitive and Deputy Norman could hard
ly convince them that he came under
authority from the Sheriff of Mont
gomery County.
The GUM folk, for some time. ad-
hered to the opinion that Mr.. Norman
meant to take the prisoner in order
to secure the 500 Kentucky reward .
The officer was a stranger in the COM
munity and he had no means of prov
ing his identity except by the papers
which he carried.
1t was only by accident that Sheriff
Belser heard that Cook had been lodged
in the GUN calaboose. Cook and the
negro who was with him when he
killed Florida Lucas, were arrested at
the same time. but the officers of the
town found that Cooks features corre-
sponded with the photograph of the
Kentucky fugitive and they released
his partner.
Thereupon Cook was confined in a
small room. Hundreds of citizens
gathered around the place where he
was confined. He firmly denied that he
was the Kentucky fugitive. Finally,
the negro became terribly frightened.
The gathering of groups of men. and
the low murmur of their voices SEEM
ed to him to presage violence. All

sorts of visions flashed through his
mind. He was in mortal fear of being
badly dealt with
In this frame of mind. Cook finally
told the officers that he was not want
ed in Kentucky. but that he might be
killing woman. He said that he was
from Greenville and gave the names of
several citizens of Greenville whom he
knew. The Guin authorities immedi-
ately telegraphed to Greenville and the
authorities there, who had already been
instructed by Sheriff Belser to watch
out for Cook. transmitted the infor-
nation to Sheriff Belser. Thereupon
I Deputy Norman was sent for the me-
gro.
Unable to convince the pDDple of
Guin that he was acting in good faith
Mr.. Norman finally resorted TO the
photograph of the negro which had
been secured here and placed in the
deputy's hands before leaving Mont
gomry. The picture was an original
photograph which Cook had had taken
several years ago.
Now. / wouldn't know the negro If
would see him." said the deputy to
the natives. but Just to show that
am acting from no personal motive.
here is a photograph. Anyone of you
gentlemen can show the picture to the
negro and see II ne recognizes IT,
Some members of the GUN group vol
unteered to show the prisoner the pho
tograph.
That's my pitcher" exclaimed Cook.
yes, sab, boss somebody done come up
heah from Mongom'ry."
The Guin folk were then satisfied
and turned the prisoner over to the
DEPUTY.
Though Cook knew that he would be
brought back to Montgomery to face
capital offcnse for which he might
be sentenced to hang. he was elated
to be put into the custody of Mr.. Nor
man. So fearful was he of being
taken to Kentucky that he dubbed
over with joy to learn that he would
come to Montgomery. e
Cook does not deny having killed the
woman, but he says It was accidental
