VERY STRANGE CASE.
PREACHER ARRESTED FOR MUIR
DER AT BRANCHVILLE.
by n Pretended Detective and Carried
to Bambcrg, Where the Pretended
Detective Disappears.

Branchville had a genuine sensa-
ton on Tuesday when Rev. William
Jefferson, alias William Blackman,
cOlored, was arrested there, charged
with the murder Of his wife and two
children in Alabama IN 1902. The
arrest was made by w. b. Williams.
Jr., a colored detective Of Bamberg
county. Rev. Jefferson Gas the breth-
rem call him) has been preaching
to his people at l}ranchville for the
past two years and seemed to be we'll
thought Of by his congregation, but
alas, murder will out.
1t is reported hat Rev. jefferson
chose as his text on Sunday the fol-
lowing scripture: Thou shalt not
kill 1t is reported that there was
a reward OF $500 offered by the State
Of Alabama for the arrest OF Jefferson
and that his reputation in Alabama
is not at all good.
IT is further said that when the de.
tective found Jefferson and ordered
him to throw up his hands that in
stead of doing as commanded by the
officer that he attempted to resist ar
rest and that the officer fired at him
with a shot gun and hit him in the
abdomen with several small shot
The correspondent Of The State at

liam Jefferson, alias William Black
man, has been discussed here on ac-
count Of the fact that he is in in the
county Jail here and is in Il very
.prccarious condition. The other ne

to be Il detective and made the ar
rest Of Jefferson on the charge of
murder, has very myStcriOuSly disap-

any reward, though according to his
own statement there Is Il reward of
$500.
Jefferson says that Williams call
ed him II to see some pictures and
when he went that Williams said you
are my prisoner and without more
ado shot him in the abdomen. Jeffer-
son says that he has never been in
Alabama and that he is of the opin-

private grudge against him. He also
claims that he has never committed
any crime.

PREFER TILLMAN TO TAFT.
Threatened That Negroes Will Knife
President ut the Polls.

A letter addressed to Representa-
tive Rainey of Illinois, by Walter S.
Thomas, chairman of the Ohio-Afro-
American League, with headquarters
at Columbus, Ohio, was read in the
House Of Representatives Saturday.
Thomas referring to a speech some
time since II the House in reply TO
the n by Mr.. Rainey, declared that
the negroes Of Ohio refused to be
led like dumb driven cattle to the
voting booths and there cast their
ballots for President Roosevelt, his
Secretary Of War or any other man
he may see fit 10 support for the
President of the United States at
Chicago"
The letter points out that q grave
injustice was done the negro race in
the Brownsville matter, and states
that the negroes OF the country viii
support no candidate for President
who does not stand squarcly upon
the broad principles OF justice. In
conclusion the letter says:
We have almost reached that
point where we can say thank God
for Senator Tiliman, for we believe
him to be at least honest in his
expressions and we believe him
square in his life. ! am absolutely
convinced Of this n fact, that
should Secretary Taft be nominated
at Chicago for President Of the Unit
ed States the colored voters OF Ohio
and OF the whole United states, 95
per cent. of them at least calcula-
ton. would cast their votes for the
straight Democratic ticket for Pres
ident or remain away from the polls,
thus making the election of a Dem
ocratic President practically certain"
