L. Poole, ,Jr., of Cuba, Ala-s who
osfle here on a later train reports
that the relatives of the deceased
have received further information to
the effect that the negro was recently
released from the state insane asy-
lum, when he ran anruck and killed a
negro woman and child for which
offense he was brought before the
late Mr. Hodges for investigation as
to his mental condition when ord
dcrs were made out to return him to
the asylum. From all accounts that
can be learned II appears that the
negro was armed and the officers did
not know that the negro mad any wea-
pons when the trial was progressing
he whipped out his pistol and began
firing indiscriminately with the re-
suit that Mr.. Hodges was killed. Up
to nire o'clock last night the negro
was still reported at large.

Chicago, Jan. 4.-While City De

Like Mooney he acoosted little
group of men on a sereet corner and
inquired their business: like Mooney
his reply was from revolver, and
like. Mooney he fell with bullet in
his abdomen. from which his recovery
is considered impossible
SO similar were the two attacks
that had Mooney not positively iden-
titled as his assailant James P. Nc
Lean, who was arreseed yesterday
there would have been suspicion that
the same man fired both shots.
Similar in other respects, the two
crimes were alike in that every mem

the other has been captured

han fired bullet which wounded a
companion of his assaiiant, then crap
pied with him, and clung TO him uil-
til police assistance came.
Through the first captive the other
members OF yesterdays hold up gang
including David Anderson, whom all
all blamed for the. shooting were tax
en- into custody.
Andersons companion who was in
jured probably fatally was Albert Nc
Gag.
