NOT FORD'S MURDERER.

As was stated in yesterdays Gazette,
il is generally believed that Henry
Tucker, colored, recently brought from
Greenville, S. G., and lodged in the
Alexandria county Jail, is not the MUIR
derer of Joseph Ford, colored, who was
shot by a negro at the house OF Lille
Stewart, colored, on the northern
suburbs of this city, in August, 1909.
Sheriff Palmer and Officer Carney
brought Tucker to the county jail
The Alexandria officer, it was believed,
would he able to identity the murderer.
He was convinced that the Greeayllle
authorities had arrested The right man,
but Lille Stewart says the wrong man
is in p,ison. while others who say they
knew the murderer declare that be is
black, while Tucker is OF a lighter hue.
Besides the fugitive from justice has a
scar which does rot appear on the
prisoner. Tucker will doubtless be re-
j leased and sent back to bis home at the
expense Of the state.
