Believes Guilty Man Was White.

Sheriff Palmer told Star reporter that
he thought the shooting was done by a
white man and not by a colored man. The
conditions surrounding the case. he said,
make the affair mysterious, to say the
least Sunday night. he said, everybody
connected with the case wanted to fasten
the crime upon negro. and had some COL
ored man been arrested and partly identi-
fed, the sheriff stated, there would probably
have been an effort at violence.
Mr.. Mackey says when he called upon the
wounded man at the hospital Sunday night
the latter could not say whether he was
shot by white or colored man. He said
Miss Weiss had been combing his hair and
that he had put the comb in his pocket.
How the comb got out of his pocket he did
not explain. Mr. Mackey says the comb
and cub were found about 300 yards from
where the parties to the affair say the
crimes were committed.

there and pointed out Cation Harron as
being the man who looked and talked like
the man who assaulted her. Bradley and
Harron talked freely Of their whereabouts

whom they could clear themselves of the
suspicion which the girl had cast upon

This program was not carried out, it is
