NIGHT RIDERS Chief IN Tolls
GARRETT JOHNSON PRISONER
IN CAMP MEMO.
"Tid" Burton Believed to Have Re-
vealed Secret Oath and Impli-
Gated 800 Men.

SAMBURG. Tenn, October 2S.-The
ringleader of the night riders in this
section. it Is believed. is a prisoner at
Camp Memo. His name Is Garrett John
son.
1t is the general opinion that john
son, if he can be compelled to talk. could
tell more about the recent outrage than
any other man under arrest.
Not less than forty men. alleged to
have been connected actively with night
riding in this territory. are under arrest.
The authorities believe enough evidence
has already been collected to hang at
least four men,
The confession of It'd" Burton is the
sensation of the day. both here and at
Union City. 1t is believed he has not yet
told all he knows about the killing of
Capt. Rankin.
John F.. Cochran. the man captured
after a chase on the lake, has confessed
that the night rider outrages have in
cluded the whipping of women. One
woman was whipped for leaving her
husband. and another for being of Ill
repute.
Tiptonville is that Burton has broken
down completely and that his confes-
sion duplicates three hundred men from
Ooion county. Even the oath taken by
night riders has been confessed, though
the officials will not make public the
wording.
The seventy or more prisoners now in
camp are closely guarded. Garrett John
son. the alleged leader. together with his
brother. Tom, and William Watson, is
kept In solitary confinement.
The troops will be kept here for some
time.
a lack of knowledge of the country
was the cause Of violation of the Con-
sttution of the United States yesterday
by Capt Rogan. U.S.A.. when he marched
a body of armed men across the border
into Kentucky, searching for night
rider suspects.
Capt Rogan was in command of a
detachment operating in the extreme
north portion of the state. After some
hours marching he found himself in the
sister state.
The matter. together with an expiana-
ton. has been reported to the Governor OF
Kentucky.

COLDER WEATHER COMING.
Will Follow Warm Rainstorm From
Tropical Climes.

Rather unusual for a storm from the
tropics to be a harbinger Of colder
weather. but so it proves in this instance.
Rain in Washington today has worked
it's way from southern climes. The clouds
loomed in sight in their journey up from
the West Indies last night, and spread in
somber gray over the District. In its
wake through Dixie the storm left wet
weather.
This afternoon, Prof. Garriott said, the
center of the tropical disturbance is over
the eastern part of the Gulf of Mexico.
The rain will continue in the District
tonight and tomorrow" the forecaster
added. when it departs decidedly colder
weather will fill it's place"
