Jail on suspicion Of being the murder
err OF Richard w. Harrison. the Chesa :
peake and Ohio Railway telegraph
operator at Scottsville. was taken back
to Scottsville on the Sis train yester-
day afternoon By Special officer NJ l..
Angle.
Jackson seemed rather relieved at
getting out of Jail for a breathing
space and appeared confident OF his
acquittal al the hearing to be given
him in Scottsville this morning. He
was brought here shortly after his ar
rest for safekeeping.
Harrison was shot to death during
the latter part OF August. between .
and 3 o'clock in the morning His
dead body was found by train crew.
Though robbery is supposed to have
been the motive, nothing has been
found to be missing. and II is believed
that the assassin was frightened away
by the approach of a freight train.
Harrison's body was brought to Rich
mond for private autopsy, and 1t
was found that he had been shot twice.
which precluded any idea Of accident
or suicide.
Jackson. something 'of a wanderer
from his accounts. had tarrled In and
near Scottsville for several months,
and suspicion pointed to him as the
slayer. He says that be was at War
rem, some distance from Scottsvillc, at
the time OF the murder, and expects
to be able to prove an alibt. No direct
evidence has yet been found against
him. and 1t was believed at the time
that his arrest was n blind to lull the
suspicious Of the real murderer that
the detectives were on his trail.
