ward money. that Constable Johnson
was to receive in the event Of Milus's
conviction other words they not
only wanted the $50 to which they
did not have a shadow OF righteous
claim: but they wanted a share of
the pay that the Johnsons might re-
ceive for all the hard work they had
been doing.
It has been represented too, that the
York county authorities are after Mi
lus Partlow; but that Is not true.
When Sheriff Brown was asked about
the matter last Saturday he appeared
| to be very much disgusted. "No.we
do not want him. If 1t had not ben
for that attempted train wreckng
charge, we would have given him a
round for horse stealing and on sv-
eral other charges; but in view of as
iarrest in North Carolina on a chare
which in the event Of conviction. WI
do him for a while, we have not bee
moving. But what the North Carol
II lima authorities mean 1 cannot underi
stand. The CASTOR officials have a
warrant, and they are entitled to get
him. It seems to me that the sheriff
of Mecklenburg must be afraid OF the
political influence Of the Charlotte po-
| lice. else he would surrender Milus to
CASTOR at once. I'll bet you that II
we had a similar situation in this
state and another county had a pris-
oner that belonged to me and the sher-
iff refused to give him up / would
show them something, and that
mighty quick. I would get judicial
order for that prisoner and take him
to my jail"
Under the conditions Of the rewards
"a C0nqtAhla
Johnson cannot get anything for all
the labor and expense to which n has
been subjected unless Milus Is con-
victed. The Charlotte police hae no
evidence on which they can covict
the negro. and they cannot get such
evidence except through S. n. ohm
son and his son. Because Mr.. N.
Johnson and his son will not Tide
the fruits Of their labors will the
| Charlotte police who have done oso-
lutely nothing but become the eel
dental custodians Of the person the
man who Is wanted, the Chariot po-
lice intimate that they propo to
have their man sent to- the chaiTang
on some other charge. There isome

whole business; but we do NJ see &
how the element is to be chargf to II
