Jacksonville, Fla, Nov. 22.-Mew
for the murderer of William Green,
the Grand Crossing farmer, who was
stabbed Tuesday night while return
ing to his home in wagon, by the
discovery that negro rode with the
farmer when he went to the city on
Tuesday morning and was still with
him when he neared his home at
night. @tIs
Further credence is given the re-
port by the fact that full bottle Of
Sparrow gin, the kind that is used
by negroes, was found In Green's wa
gon by relatives of the dead man.
A brother of Green, who called At,
police headquarters today. said that
the murdered man was never known
to drink gin.

Sheriff r. Fleming Bowden OK
pressed the belief this morning that
the murder was committed as the
result of a quarrel which Green had
with road traveller who may have
asked for a ride and been refused
This theory is borne out by the re-
port that a white man was seen
walking behind the wagon by the
wife of an employe of the Atlantic
Coast Line shops, and the story OF
Bob Miller, who says that when he
saw Green later, the farmer was
sroaning and no other person was
