PUT IN CONWAY JAIL.
Melvin Watson Arrested Near Green
Sea by G. NJ. Reaves.

Conway, June 13.-Melvin Wat
son, the negro who so fouily murder
ed Mr.. john Watson at Green Sea on
June 9, is now in Jail. The commit
ment was made this morning about
o'clock, the negro having been cap
tured last night by Mr.. C. NJ. Reaves
on his plantation only a few miles
rom Green Sea, the scene OF the
killing. AS soon as MIR. Reaves got
the negro he rushed him to jail,
driving a distance of about % miles.
The negro made no resistance when
he was arrested. Yesterday after
noon about dark he came to a ne
sros house on Mr.. Raves place to
spend the night. The negro, though
his kinsman, became very much
frightened, fearing the whole crowd
would be lynched if Melvin were
found there and the woman of the
house left. The negro man slipped
out over to Mr.. Reaves' and told him
that Melvin was at his house. The
arrest followed. The negro begged
for his life, but when assured that he
would be carried to Jail he submitted
peaceably. Gov. Ansel last week Of
fered S1O0 reward for the capture of
the murderer. This amount was
supplemented by $50 by the father
of the murdered man. At no time
since the killing have the people of
Green Sea abandoned the search and
had the negro been found by the pur-
suing crowd he doubtless would have
been lynched. Now that he is jailed
it is thought that the law will be
allowed to take it's course. It Is not
thought, however, that the news Of
the capture has yet reached Green
Sea. The negro talked freely about
the killing, claiming that he did not
intend killing Mr.. Watson.
He said the gun was so easy on
trigger that it fired before he aimed.
He states that he has been. near
Green Sea all the time except the day
after the killing, when he went to a
logging camp near Whiteville, N. c.,
where a white man told him that the
wires were hot and that he had bet

Sea. He claims that he has not slept
but one night since the killing, ten
days ago. Sheriff Sessions has the

of accepting the natural tendencies OF

a Sunday. Certain restaurants supply
food surreptitiously, but the whole
time the guests are In danger Of being
arrested. Once an Italian was in such
a restaurant on Sunday when suddenly
the police entered. The Italian was
promptly pushed by the proprietor into
q room where waitress happened to
be standing in negligee. Even this
room the police invaded, but the wait
ress saved the situation by declaring
that the young man was her fiance.
The young man, by the way, had been
married some time. he thought that
he had deceived the policeman; but, as
a matter; of fact he had got out of the
frying pan into the fire. One fine day
the waitress called him before the
courts and claimed $500 for breach of
promise. The Italian had to pay. And
then came the worst of all. His wife
sued for; divorce and shortly after
married another man. .........

H. B. Perham, chairman of the rail-

The meeting will be held at the

graphed from st. Paul that he would
be here on Friday and that he would
like to meet Messrs. Knapp and Neill
in conference.
One object of Mr.. Perham's pro-

the strike situation before President
Taft.
According to information received
here, the scope of the strike would be
broadened materially unless the war

They are charged with the duty of
paving the way to arbitration in dis

have acted in number of strike cases
and with the exception of the recent
one invariably have been successful.
It is known, however, that up to the
time they received word from Mr.

fearful that in this instance the Erd-

There is probability that the strike
may be settled without recourse to
