the present administration, without
which he could not expect to accom-

The others who have been frequent

neither one has been making an active

GETS RELIGION
ADMITS MURDER
PECULIAR CASE COMES BEFORE
WHEELING POLICE AND CON-
EEssIoN WAS MADE.

WHEELING. Jan. IA peculiar
case was brought to the notice OF the
local police last night, when William
Justice, we'll known colored waiter
in a local restaurant, confessed to the
murder of another colored man in
Statesville, N. c.. fourteen years ago.
The arrest was made last night by De,
tective Hinkleman and officer Kraft.
On last Sunday, another colored
man, who went by the name of JEFF
Justice. and who has posed rs broth,
er of William Justice. while attending
services at colored church in the
city became worked up over the sub
ject of religion and said that he and
Justice were not brothers, but the lat.
ter had killed man In North Caro-,
lima and they had fed together.
His tale led to the arrest of the 9th.
er man, who, it is said. made a full
confession to the police last night. He
said that shortly after his marriage
at Statesville. he suspected a coIored
fellow named Marcus of being too at.
tentive to his wife: He came home one
dap Unexpectedly and. finding Marcus
in company with his wife, Shot him
and fed to this city.
His friend, who has gone by the
name of Jeff Justice, and passed as his
brother in Wheeling. accompanied
hm. and until the occurrence at the
church on Sunday no one suspected
that they were not brothers. The right
name of William Justice, it appears
is John Jones.
Justice said that the case was not
prosecuted vigorously in the North
Carolina city, and reward OF but $50
was offered for his arrest.
Justice, or Jones as it now appears
his right name is, will be held by the
police here until the Statesville au
thorities can be communicated with.
