no doubt but what the financial world

decline of Wall street securities. No

ESCAPED SEVERAL TIMES

Centreville, November 20.-(Special.) When Deputy Sheriff c. L. Oakley late yesterday afternoon landed in jail here Will Whitaker, perhaps one of the most desperate negro criminals in the state of Alabama was captured, One day during the latter part of last week Whitaker escaped from the convict camp of the Red Feather Coal company, about 12 miles north of Centreville. He had been convicted in the criminal court of Montgomery county on a charge of receiving stolen property and given a 10-year sentence in the peni- tentiary. After his escape he was chased with dogs for many hours, but finally succeeded in eluding them.
 On Tuesday he made his way to Centreville and mingled with the enor- nous crowd which had assembled to witness the circus. About s o'clock Tuesday night he broke into the store
 house of M. G. Crews, burglarized an iron safe, getting $275 in money, one dozen watches, pistol and some other

Gadsden, November 20-fSpeciall Judge Disque yesterday evening rendered ms decision in the mayoralty contest case of Cambron vs. McCord, in which the question was raised as to whether or not McCord could qualify for mayor of Alabama City. It was alleged that Me Cord was not a citizen of Alabama City. as he living in Gadsden.

property. Shortly after the burglary was committed the alarm was given by MT. Crews and Deputy Sheriff Oakley immediately investigated the matter. He went to the depot where the circus train was standing on a side track and began a serch. Soon a suspicious looking negro came up and jumped on the engine about the time it was ready to start. The deputy ordered him to halt but instead of doing so he jumped from the engine and ran into the woods, the officer in close pursuit. The deputy fired upon the negro and brought him to the ground.
 On searching his prisoner he found several hundred dollars, all of the watches and the pistol. It appeared at the time that the negro was mortal ly wounded and he was started to town in a buggy. In the race for the negro the deputy fell and broke his arm and after getting up town. while the doctors were making an eXamina- tion of the arm the negro, who was supposed to be in a dying condition, jumped suddenly from the buggy and escaped in the darkness. Search was made for him on that night, Wednes- day and yesterday.
 About 10 o'clock yesterday morning news was received here that he broke into a negro house a short distance from town and had stolen some money and suit of clothes. Bloodhounds were sent for and put on the negro s track and he was captured late yes terday afternoon. He was found to be seriously and perhaps fatally wounded. He stated that if he had had a gun he would not have been taken alive. He is now confined in the county jail where he is receiving medical atten- tion.
