J. w. EtuTluSe, q well kuOWn WHl-e planter and merchant of Full Back, Miss, and former resident of Drew county, Arkansas, was arrested last night at that place by Sheriff Edgar Brewster, of this city, on charge of murder, it being alleged that he as sassinated Albert McVay, "a wealthy cattle dealer in this city on the night of July 19, 1908. Lille and Andrew Ragland, said to be negroes, were ar- rested at Full Back at the same time by Sheriff Brewster and all three are in jail at Greenvflle Miss. They are to be brought to Pine Bluff im- mediately.
 Befeore leaving this city last Mon- day Sheriff Brewster secured requisi- tion papers from Governor Donaghey and the papers were honored at Jack son, Miss, yesterday by Acting Cover ROT Hebron, for the immediate re- turn of Ethridge to this city for trial.
 The arrest of Ethridge was wit messed and partly brought about by Prosecuting Attorney T. Havis Nixon of this city, who left Pine Bluff Mon- day night and joined Sheriff Brew ster in Memphis. It was through some clever detective work that Sheriff Brewster secured sufficient informa- tion since his recent installation into the office of Sheriff that warranted him in arresting Ethridge on the mur- der charge. Just what connection Lillie and Andrew Ragland have witt the alleged guilt of Ethridge is noi known here. Their arrest occur, red at Full Back after Sheriff Brew ster visited that place yesterday and made a thorough investigation into the charges against Ethridge Tho arrest of the three persons created much excitement at Greenville, but Sheriff Brewster handled the situa- ton Automatically and succeeded in landing his parties in jail before the crowd gathered.
 Ethridge, it was stated last night in a special dispatch from Greenville, went to Full Back, Miss, from this section November IS, 1908, and in- vested considerable money in farm lands and mercantile business there
 After taking the office of Sheriff here, Edgar Brewster, gathered evi- dence that enabled him to trace the assassination of Albert McVay to Eth ridge and additional evidence secured yesterday at Full Back is said to be damaging to Ethridge. He worked on the case night and day, going about his Investigations quietly. Af- ter getting all of the evidence togeth- CT and learning of E 1ridge's where abouts he immediately went to Full Back and arrested him.
 Ethridge, according to statement made here last night, left this sec ton immediately after the murder of McVay. He formerly lived at Mon ticello, and it is said that some sen- sational developments involving d number of prominent citizens and wealthy men of Drew county in the murder plot, will result when Eth ridge is placed on trial here.
 His arrest was brought about through a confessio4, that has been corroborated by Prosecuting Attor- ney Nixon in every instance, of ne- gro farm hand, who says he was sent to this city from Monticello 2 few weeks before McVay was killed to assassinate his brother, George Mcvay. The negro knew George Mcvay and after coming here secured employment under him. After work ing for George 4cVay for several days his nerve failed him and the ne-
