NEWS OF THE OLD DOMINION.
DANGEROUS NEGRO IN JAIL.
For Months He Had Been Sought by
Authorities.

Appomattox, Va, Feb. 28.-Morton
Hamlet, negro gunman and robber,
has been brought here by Sheriff
Frank Mckinney and lodged safely,
in the Appomattox Jail. He was ar
rested in Lynchburg by four police
men, and had been sought after for
the past three months.
In the early fall the negro came to
the home Of Mr.. Evans, an elderly
man in the. county, one Sunday morn
ing soon after breakfast and asked
for something to eat, which Mr.. Evans
granted. When he had finished his
breakfast he drew his pistol, and ut
tering an oath, demanded Mr. Evans
money. Mr.. Evans handed him the
change. But this failing to satisfy the
negro, he demanded more, whereupon
r.Evans produced bank certificate
for 5000, which he gave him. In the
meantime, he shot Mr.. Evans and
wounded him severely in his hand, and
terribly frightened his daughter, who
was the only member of his family
with the old man.
An alarm was given and posse
with bloodhounds pursued him till
darkness overlook them, having cap
tured one or two suspects, but the
culprit escaped.
Sheriff Mckinney very diligently adj
vertised and worked secretly for the
arrest of the negro, but to no avail till
a few days ago, when he was spied
by the Lynchburg police and prompt
" nabbed. A reward of 5000 had been
offered for him.
A long knife was found in his pos
session. He was once convict, hav-
ing served seven years in the peniten-
tiary.
