HELD As BURGLAR SUSPECT.
Amos Jefferson Thought to Have
Worked in Halls Hill District.

At the instigation of Commonwealth
Attorney Crandal Mackey of Alexandria
county, Va, Amos Jefferson has been
arrested on the suspicion of being re-
sponsible for several burglaries in the
neighborhood OF Halls Hill during July.
Jefferson is held at the county Jail.
Recently Mr.. Mackey heard that Jeffer-
son had been treated at Freedmen's Hos
pital late in July for a gunshot wound
on the leg. This led him to believe that
Jefferson might be the burglar who at
tempted to break into George Tate's
home. AIR. Tate discovered the intruder
and shot at him. the charge hitting him
on his leg.
Inquiry at Freedmen's Hospital by Mr.
Mackey, it is explained. developed the
fact that the shot removed from Jeffer-
sons leg was the same size as that used
by Tate in his shotgun. Mr.. Mackey
accordingly procured a warrant for jeff
erson's arrest. After questioning Jeffer-
son Mr.. Mackey says he gathered suffi-
cient evidence to warrant holding him.
Mr.. Mackey is now waiting Mr.. Tate's
return from Dayton, Ohio. to see If he
can identify Jefferson as the man
wanted.
