 Information from Jackson today was that the several posses of citizens who have been pursuing the two negroes since last Monday afternoon through the swamps of the Tombigbee river disbanded SO that the negroes would think that the pursuit had been aban- doned and they would come out of the swamp. The negroes were seen this morning and their trail was taken up again by a party of infuriated citi- zens who will follow them until they have been captured.
 The report that the negroes were captured by pr. Staples of Mt. Sterling and that they were being taken across the county to the Clarke county jail at Grove Hill. was denied today from Jackson. It was aso reported that the two negroes have not been landed In the Clarke county jail.
 Besides the crime Of murder. the two negroes.
