nant Citizens.
 Talladega, Aug. 2j--(speciaD--Th Henry Randolph Domby. young Rirni- ingham boy who was on his way to the home of a country friend Q spe3d vacation near ChildsFsbufg Is not dead is not the fault of negro. Henry Davis who murderousIy assaulted and robbed and left the boy on the roadside with hole crushed in the back of his head
 And had some irate citizens in that part of the county had their way the negro would doubtless have paid for the crime with his life.
 After the negro had been arrested and placed in the jail at Chiidersburg. Mayor M. J. ciiett stated to the men who arrested him that the negro cAuId not stay in the jail after 5 o'clock as there would be a lynching and Child ersburg would get the credit for 1t.
 Sheriff w. R. Middleton went to Childersburg and brought the negro to Talladega last night.
 The story of the crime Is most re- volting one. The young boy had come from Birmingham to childersburg on the o'clock train yesterday morning to spend two weeks with a family by the name of Crow. who were friends of his family and lived in the country nearby. He paid the negro twenty AANo CE4tbc " BO 4tpu8 WtNi nun anu carry his suit case. As they walked along the negro picked up a piece of iron and made the remark to the boy that it would make a good chop axe.
 Directly after their journey had taken them out of Childersburg and into an isolated spot the negro pointed to a spot and told the boy he saw a rabbit, and as the young fellow turn ed look. dealt him a terrible blow on l. d., .a H-. |. MF. in his skull and dangerously injuring him. The boy was robbed of s1.7s and his suit case.
 Soon after the negro's victim was found on the roadside and the alarm was given and word telephoneJ up the railroad to be on the look for him.
 Al Kymulga a few miles above chiidersburg. W. N. Talton and William Baker took up the chase and after about half an hour saw the negro in the distance carrying the suit case. They shot at him to call a halt. but to no avail. and not wanting to kill him the only means left to capture was to outrun him. After Q forty-five min utes chase they overlook and captured him and brought him back to Kymulga where the train was taken for Child ersburg and the prisoner placed in jail and the sheriff in Talladega notified
 In the suit case recovered was found Bible with the young fellows name in 1t, and fishing tackle and his outfit for his anticipated holiday His parents were notified in Birmingham and came to Childersburg last night to the home of the friends where the hoy was going to visit and where he had been carried when found.
 Messrs. Baker and Talton refused to turn the negro over to anyone until the Sheriff arrived. Certain men tried to pursuade them to start through the country to Talladega with the prison CT. but Messrs. Baker and Talton firm ly refused to do so.
